The Blogger's Hangout Tea Party*

Welcome back!

This week I was lucky enough to receive an invite to the blogger's tea party event hosted by The Blogger's Hangout at the Pop Up Patio. I thought I'd dedicate a whole post to it and all of the lovely brands and bloggers I met.

BIO-TIFUL DAIRY

The first brand I met at the tea party was Bio-tiful DairyBio-tiful Dairy make organic cultured milk drinks made with either live Kefir cultures or live Riazhenka cultures. Whilst these are bacteria they are both extremely good for you and your tummy. They pose a wide range of health benefits such as improved digestion, improving and maintaining a healthy immune system and just hold a lot of nutritional value. Not to mention they taste so nice too. My favourite flavour is the honey and mint Kefir smoothie. I think I may have found my new favourite breakfast.

THE COCOA DEN

What girl doesn't love chocolate? If you know me well, then you know about my chocolate addiction. So when I saw these pieces of edible art made completely of dark, milk and white chocolate I couldn't help but feel over joyed. The Cocoa Den was founded by Kate Burton who has a special passion for all things chocolate and sweet; be it delicious chocolates or cakes. The amount of detail in each sculpture was astounding and not too mention the chocolate truffles were to die for. My favourite sculpture there was this peacock (pictured below).

JAKE'S BOOST

Named after their pet dog Jake's Boost was founded by a couple who were looking for the right nut butter. But when they couldn't find one they decided to make it themselves. Made with all natural ingredients the Jake's Boost butter is both vegetarian and vegan. However what I like most about this brand is it's emphasis on charity. Every time you purchase a jar or sachet pack of Jake's Boost a breakfast is provided to a child in the UK who needs it. Yummy, healthy and most importantly a worthy cause.

MEAD HO!

I'm not a beer, lager or ale lass. However I do love mead. I first tried mead last year and I couldn't believe that I had never had it before. There is a subtle sweetness to it which I prefer to the traditional taste of beer. Mead Ho! is a relatively new brand filling the gap in the UK alcohol market. Currently mead isn't widely available in the UK but Mead Ho! are trying to change that. I would definitely recommend you give this a try. Especially if you're like me and cannot stand the taste of beer, lager or ale.

DRINK ME CHAI LATTE

I already frequently drink this product and it's always in my cupboard. Drink Me Chai Latte is a powder which you can make hot and cold chai tea lattes from. If you've ever had a chai tea latte from Costa or Starbucks, you'll love this because it tastes 100x better. I was informed at the event by one of the lovely Drink Me Chai Latte team that you can actually also use the powder in baking, breakfast cereals, porridge and even cocktails (I definitely have to give that a try!). You can find the regular chai latte mix in loads of different supermarkets but you have to go online if you want the other flavours like mango and green tea.

That's it for this post lovelies. Keep your eyes peeled for more blogging event posts coming soon! And comment down below if you went and link me to your posts. I'd love to see them!
