Autumn is a wonderful time of the year - cool & pleasant weather, blankets, cosy sweaters, a good book and a cup of hot drink/tea in hand! It is also the time to try out new tea flavours. So, say goodbye to summer's iced teas and opt for a hot cuppa with warming spices and rich aromas.

I have rounded up some fantastic autumn inspired teas/drinks that you must try this season! Take a look.

Gingen Ginger Drinks

Gingen are one of Thailand’s most popular drinks brands. And Eurostar Commodities are the exclusive distributor of this popular drinks brand in the the UK.

Gingen is a zero calorie hot drink made with 100% natural ginger with zero preservatives or artificial colourings. The drink is available in three varieties:

• Strong Ginger Formula – which is 100% ginger with sucrose and has an earthy and spicy flavour.
• Ginger with Honey – this has been naturally sweetened with brown sugar and honey and has a beautiful aroma and taste.
• 100% Ginger - as the name suggests is 100% ginger (no sugar, no honey) with a gentle fragrant flavour. 

All the three flavours are additive-free, naturally delicious and offer the health benefits associated with ginger - aiding digestion, anti-inflammatory effects, boosting immunity and anti-bacterial properties.

We loved all the three flavours. When infused with warm water, it makes for a warming drink that helps to heal and restore.

Prices start from £2.55 for a box of 10 sachets and can be purchased online from store.eurostarfoods.co.uk

Sultan Tea

There is nothing like a good cup of Chai on an Autumn morning and featured in this guide is the Moroccan Chai from Sultan Tea.

With over 80 years of history, the Sultan Tea brand has a passion for authentic Moroccan tea. Their Moroccan Chai tea is a beautiful combination of the sweet and the spicy, blending black tea with sweet caramel and cinnamon to create a warming, gentle and aromatic chai. The chai is soothing and uplifting and will help you cut through the chilly weather during the autumn months.

While mint tea can be enjoyed all year round, Sultan's Moroccan Mint Tea makes for a great Autumn tea. Sultan's recipe beautifully blends mint and green tea to create a delicious infusion that has an intense and refreshing menthol flavour.

In addition to its great taste, mint teas are known to ease sore throat, calm coughs and acts as a mild stimulant.

Sultan's Good Night Tea is a relaxing, soothing and naturally sweet infusion that has been specifically crafted to aid with a better night’s sleep. Beautifully flavoured with notes of liquorice, lemon verbena and fresh mint, this makes for a great evening drink.

All the three teas listed above are available in 20 pack boxes, with the prices starting at £3.99.
