Teas
English-style tea
In the UK, "a cup of tea" is a strong black tea, brewed for three to five minutes, with a little milk and sometimes sugar. It's drunk upon waking, at the mid-morning break, in the afternoon with biscuits, and often again in the evening. The debate over whether the milk should be added before or after the tea is still ongoing.

What is Irn-Bru ?

What is ginger beer?

What is the dandelion & burdock?

What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
