The tea bags are home compostable and biodegradable. The tea boxes are also recyclable – meaning you can feel double good while you sip.

  • Be Kind Unwind – A blend of peppermint to ease muscle tension, passionflower to regulate your MOOD and linden to promote. relaxation.
  • Happy Days - Sweet, tart and fruity, this blend contains Ashwagandha, an ancient ayurvedic super-herb used to reduce cortisol, anxiety and stress, and boost energy.
  • Sweet Lullaby - With skullcap root to promote sleep, and relieve anxiety, and rose petals to get lost in their dreamy swirl, this tea is a warm hug sending you to bed. It calms you down, comforts and relaxes.
  • Get On Up - A fruity hit with a spicy kick that enlivens and invigorates, this blend includes Siberian ginseng to promote mental alertness and stimulate blood flow, and lemon balm to help with anxiety.

  • Terrific Tea

    I got to try the Get on up (pineapple and cinnamon) and sweet lullaby (rooibos, liquorice and vanilla.
    ) tea and wow im so glad i was part of this trial and was able to try them. The sweet lullaby smells and tastes amazing! Sweet lullaby is slightly sweet and a great tea for the end of the day to relax and unwind The Get on up is slightly fruity but can taste the cinnamon. My favourite was sweet lullaby but both were still enjoyable. The tea bags are great being biodegradable and that 100% of profits go to great mental health programs.

  • Really gets you in the mood

    I was lucky enough to try the Get on up (pineapple and cinnamon) and sweet lullaby (rooibos, liquorice and vanilla. Straight up the sweet lullaby smells amazing! I love the smell of vanilla and it’s a clear ingredient in this tea. I was a little nervous about the liquorice but it doesn’t taste of it at all. It’s slightly sweet and it had a real soothing quality to it making it perfect to help wind down after a long day. The Get on up was slightly fruity, although didn’t taste too much like pineapple, the cinnamon stood out the most. I didn’t like this one as much as the sweet lullaby but it was still enjoyable. The tea bags are adorable and I really like how you can see what’s inside of them. Both these teas were enjoyable to drink. I’d happily purchase them in the future.

  • Delicious & comforting tea range

    I am a big fan of natural herbal teas but Mood Tea goes that extra mile with additional ingredients such as Ashwagandha Root in their Happy Days range to provide that ultimate feel good, stress free benefit or the Be Kind, Unwind tea that has Passionflower to regulate your mood and Linden Flower to promote relaxation. Truly delicious and comforting teas can be enjoyed any time of the day or night. I love and will always support and be the number one fan of organisations giving back to the community like MOOD tea does but giving back all their profits towards Youth Mental Health projects to save young lives.

  • Soothing, delicious and a community helper

    I received the sweet lullaby and get on up. Sweet lullaby provided a delicious end of day soothing tea and Get on up was a tasty, warming tea that helped with the chilly morning and just something enjoyable.
    I loved the fact that it supports mental health programs, the community aspect made the tea all the more tastier. The packaging was pretty and the bags were great quality, not ripping and easy to use.

  • MOOD tea is a brand of herbal teas that claims to enhance your mood and well-being, Good!

    MOOD tea is a brand of herbal teas that claims to enhance your mood and well-being. I tried three of their flavors: calm, happy, and energize. Here is my review of each one.

    Calm: This tea has a soothing blend of chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm. It has a floral aroma and a mild taste. I drank it before bedtime and felt more relaxed and sleepy. It did not cause any side effects or grogginess the next morning.

    Happy: This tea has a cheerful blend of green tea, ginger, and citrus. It has a refreshing aroma and a zesty taste. I drank it in the morning and felt more alert and positive. It did not cause any jitters or anxiety.

    Energize: This tea has a stimulating blend of black tea, cinnamon, and ginseng. It has a spicy aroma and a strong taste. I drank it in the afternoon and felt more energized and focused. It did not cause any headaches or palpitations.

    Overall, I enjoyed MOOD tea and found it to be effective and delicious. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their mood and well-being with natural ingredients.

  • Magic Mood Tea

    I absolutely loved both of the Mood tea samples I was sent. I received the “Be Kind Unwind” Peppermint & Passionflower as well as the “Happy Days” Hibiscus, Apple & Ginger teas.

    I love the cute, bright and colourful packaging. You can smell the delicious tea flavours emanating from the box.

    The tea steeping brings the most beautiful fragrance to my kitchen. Absolutely beautiful!

    Both blends were delightful but I preferred the “Happy Days” sweet and fruity flavour more. Both are really nice it’s just my preference for sweet flavours.

    Loved that profits from the sale go towards youth mental health.

    I wasn’t aware of this brand prior to sampling but I will definitely buy again in future and look forward to trying other blends too.

  • Pleasant, refreshing and comforting

    I was fortunate enough to try the “Happy Days” and “Be Kind Unwind” teas. Happy Days contained apple, hibiscus and ginger flavours, it was slightly sweet but not overpowering and the tart apple blended beautifully with the slight spice of the ginger and the fragrant hibiscus. Loved this blend and I would happily buy this again!
    The Be Kind Unwind tea was a plebe of peppermint and passionfruit flavours, I found the passionfruit was a bit lost behind the stronger peppermint flavour but it was still enjoyable and perfect for a cold winter afternoon at work!
    After trying these flavours, I’m excited to try the others in the range!

  • Refreshing fragrant tea

    The teas were a nice change from the usual black tea I drink. Unfortunately found them a little overpowering and didn’t have and energising or relaxing effects. Once the plastic outer was off, fine powder kept coming out from the box edges

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
