Chateau Rouge was launched in 2010 by Seán Farrell who has a passion for exquisite luxury food and drink products. Each product in the Chateau Rouge range is chosen carefully and with great attention to detail. And this shows in this wonderful Les Amoureux (the Lover’s) Gift Box. Coming beautifully presented and showcasing nothing but delicious quality, this ‘Lovers’ Gift Box ix sure to stoke the flames of passion!
The Les Amoureux has partnered two different teas to reflect two different personalities – a perfect intertwining mix that represents the two halves in your relationship. First is the Jasmine Downy pearls green tea. This is a soft fragrant tea from the mountains of Northern Fujian, China. Jasmine Downy Pearls perfectly balances the delicate flavour of fine green tea with seductive jasmine notes. Using a process dating back nine centuries, tender downy tea tips are layered 6-8 times with fresh jasmine flowers, absorbing their intoxicating scent and flavour. Women then skilfully hand roll each leaf into a tiny pearl. Magnificent and certainly elegant!
Along side the Jasmine Tea is the Imperial Earl Grey, a black tea infused with Bergamot oil. This masculine tea is the perfect partner in a romantic rendezvous with the Jasmine Downy pearls. This Tea is strong and gorgeously perfumed, with controlled citrus notes subtly balanced against the teas’ tannin and sweetness.
Together, these two amorous teas make the perfect match – a match made in heaven I would say! They should please many, and would make for a very different and well used Valentines Gift. The Les Amoureux Gift Box is available online at and costs £39.95.
Do you know someone who is always moaning about their crows feet, who wants to improve their facial complexion, or just love their skin? Well if you do then the Natural Collagen™ capsules may be the ideal gift for them.
Let me hit you with a bit of the science behind the product… The main reason for the formation of wrinkles and facial ageing is the depletion of collagen in the skin. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and as we age we start to lose our natural supply.
This is where the capsules come in!
Natural Collagen™ with Hyaluronic Acid and Rosehip helps to re-stimulate collagen production in the skin, therefore giving it back firmness and reducing frown lines! Also, the hyaluronic acid, promote skin elasticity and regeneration, therefore plumping up your face and knocking a few years off you! According to Neocell the Rose Hips act as a source of Vitamin C and bio-flavonoids. I am told that these are crucial in the supporting a healthy circulation and bolstering the skin.
All in all, the Natural Collagen capsules offer a solution for someone who is looking to revamp their skin - An ideal gift for mother’s day!
(RRP £50 - available from Revital stores and www.neocell.co.uk)
If you are looking for a lovely bottle of bubbly for your Mum this mother’s day, then I may have just found the one for you!
The Besserat de Bellefon Cuvee des Moines Blanc de Blancs is a wonderful bottle of champagne and it is available for a mere £33, from (www.cellarviewines.com).
The bottle itself screams of elegance and style. In fact, it’s such a good looking bottle, that when you crack it open you feel a slight pang of sadness. Or maybe that’s just me! Nevertheless, sadness or not, any ill feeling is quickly assuaged once you begin to taste it.
The first thing to note about the Besserat de Fellon is how fresh and light it is – it really is a delight to drink. Aromatic notes ranging from dried fruit, in particular I was getting Apricot, then giving way to a hint of honey.
The balance of the Besserat De Bellefon is exquisite.
