An Instagram account focusing on new foodie launches @NewFoodsUK received lots of positive reaction from followers when it posted an image of the new tea.

Many simply commented with the heart eyes emoji, smiley face emoji or tagged in fellow hot cross bun fans.

Tried that today. Really liked the flavour.

However, one person said: “Tastes like wisdom tooth infections. All I got was clove, and clove isn’t even in it.”

Another commented: “I don’t know how I feel about this,” while a third added: “It’s actually disgusting.”
