Krüger Green Tea Chai Latte Drink with Ginger & Lemongrass Review

-

Just a quick review for this drink today - I've had it in the snacks archives for so long my memory of it is slightly hazy, but I certainly haven't forgotten how unique it was!

I found it in a discount store for 99p, and regrettably didn't stock up on more of them at the time. I haven't seen any since, although my local Sainsbury's sells regular Krüger branded chai lattes for quite a high price.

Basically the box contains 10 sachets of chai latte mix, with the twist being that it's made from green tea! This might be nothing to some people, but for me it was a revelation! I've only ever tried regular chai lattes before and didn't know it was even possible to make one with green tea.

The latte is made by German company Krüger, and the description on the box awkwardly reads: "Chai Latte Type Fresh India - Instant preparation for tea drinks, flavoured with a ginger-lemon grass taste". So basically it's a green tea latte with a lemongrass and ginger flavour.


Making it up as directed produced a milky, frothy latte with a slight tinge of green:


It tasted...interesting. It was extremely milky, and with a spicy, gingery, herby flavour. I was a bit unsure of what to think initially because of the pale green colour, but the flavour actually worked really well and I ended up loving it! The creaminess of the milk balanced out the slight sharpness of green tea, and the lemongrass and ginger flavour just worked with it perfectly. It made for a unique and tasty drink that felt really special.

Overall, this is such a unique drink that I'm kicking myself for not stocking up while it was cheap. If you happen to see these anywhere I would highly recommend giving them a try!

After a bit of online research it seems Krüger have their own UK website although there's no indication of where to buy these drinks from.

RATING: 8 out of 10.

    As i haven't tried Kruger Green Tea Latte. I will try it for sure, by seeing your post it drags me to have a drink of this green tea. Green Tea helps people reduce their inner heat.It helps with anti-aging and also prevents bad breath. Everyone should know the importance of green tea for the health.

    I've just bought and tried it today. It was €1.99 here in the Netherlands. The taste of lemongrass was nice and made up for the lack of ginger. Don't think I would buy it again soon though. There was another chai latte flavour. I might try that one next.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
