Kicking off the week with your usual shot of extra strength (expensive) shop-bought coffee? If you're looking for a healthy, affordable alternative to ease you into your working day, the new range of natural teas from Leaf are well worth checking out.
Leaf is a small, independent business that makes simple, authentic leaf teas without any of the additives you find in some brands of 'herbal' tea; the blends are simple, honest and very tasty.
As well as having a great range with some really interesting varieties (my favourite has to be the olive leaf blend), Leaf will donate 10% of its profits to projects that have a positive social and environmental impact on tea workers' conditions. You can buy Leaf tea online, along with an attractive range of utensils and gift tea sets.
