Welcome to a delectable journey of culinary exploration! In this week’s product review, we delve into the juniper-kissed allure of Black Robin Rare Gin, the irresistible Snackaballs co-created by Pic’s Peanut Butter and Tom & Luke, Farrah’s Pizza Bases, and the comforting embrace of a steaming cup of tea from Picker’s Pocket.
Black Robin Rare Gin
Black Robin Rare Gin from Simply Pure has soared to victory, clinching a prestigious win at the 2023 International Spirits Challenge. Named after the critically endangered Black Robin bird, this gin stands as a testament to Simply Pure’s commitment to sustainability and conservation. The Black Robin, once on the brink of extinction, has rebounded due to tireless conservation efforts, mirroring the brand’s ethos of achieving extraordinary results through continuous dedication.
Crafted from whey, Black Robin Gin incorporates organic botanicals, including the unique New Zealand Horopito, lending a mild chilli-like heat and flavour. Simply Pure’s tagline, ‘pure spirits for a purer world,’ translates into action with donations to charities protecting New Zealand’s ecosystem.
Sustainability takes centre stage, as a portion of each bottle’s sales contributes to preserving the endangered species. And speaking of bottles, the tall, thin, clear bottle that contains this gin is a conversation starter of its own.
Ideal for gin enthusiasts seeking guilt-free indulgence, Black Robin Rare Gin delivers not only a zesty, herbaceous experience but also fosters discussions on ethical consumption. It’s a toast to the resurgence of the Black Robin and a greener future. The layers of botanicals that unfold after the first sip culminate in a subtle symphony of liquorice and star anise.
Served with good-quality tonic water, a few ice cubes, and a twist of lemon, you’ll truly enjoy this gin.

Picker’s Pocket Teas
Picker’s Pocket Tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a journey of quality, transparency, and appreciation. In a world consumed by speed, Picker’s Pocket reminds us of the lost art of tea rituals. As an exceptional New Zealand tea brand, they are dedicated to rekindling the essence of tea as a meaningful experience.
In an age where convenience often overshadows tradition, Picker’s Pocket loose-leaf teas stand as a beacon of authenticity. Beyond the hurried teabags in mugs, they invite us to pause and indulge in the intricate tales woven by their skilled pickers. The heart of their ethos lies in honouring both the tea and the hands that nurture it.
This brand’s mission is clear: rekindle the reverence for loose-leaf tea. Enjoy the spirit of slow living by cherishing small rituals and savour the moments that tea offers.
We received a beautifully presented gift package containing Fire Chai and Wild Forest teas, accompanied by a convenient strainer featuring a lid. If your preference leans towards spicier chai as opposed to sweeter blends, Fire Chai will undoubtedly suit your palate. The Wild Forest tea, crafted from leaves harvested at a tea estate abandoned over a century ago, boasts a distinct and delightful earthy flavour. Delicious!
For those looking for a gift for a tea enthusiast, have a look at the Picker’s Pocket gift sets which can be customised to suit the receiver. Picker’s Pocket teas can be purchased online.
