Me, Grzegorz – almost a gardener – received a mysterious package today from my friend in the northern reaches of the UK. Just the fact of getting a parcel from such an exotic place, where men wear skirts (sic!), filled me with a mix of curiosity and joy. What could be inside?

What’s hidden within? Forbidden fruit! More precisely – British fruit teas, smelling like the Garden of Eden after a collaboration with a candy shop.

My wife and I are green terrorists – we dry, we brew, we experiment. Lavender. Mint. The whole garden. But here – here we have flavours that might spark a full-blown revolution in my cup.

The plan for post-gardening relaxation:

• Brew the tea – but no milk, thank you!
• Inhale an aroma better than freshly mown grass.
• Close my eyes and forget I’m surrounded by tomato beds.

But life loves its jokes. At the very last moment, it turned out this was a forbidden fruity temptation! My wife decided to impose strict restrictions on this parcel. An offer I couldn’t refuse was put forward: we take it with us on a camping trip!

Now we face a full-on spy mission. We’ll have to be extremely discreet when other holidaymakers sip their ordinary teas, while we indulge in this British delicacy!

In the meantime, all I can do is take pictures with them. Who knows – maybe I’ll become a product tester on Instagram?
