Love, love, love this tea, so full of flavour and refreshing!
This olive oil excellent we use it mainly to bake bread pizzaz and roast vegetable.
they all taste beautiful
This is the only product I use in line with ayurvedic principles. I have been ordering this now for several months and will continue to do so.
I’ve been really pleased with this oil. It has a nice, neutral taste and my family all like it. I’ve never experienced any of the bitterness described by Lorenz and Claudia in their reviews. I’ve even tried tasting the oil neat and it tastes perfectly fine, so I can only think something must have gone wrong. Admittedly, I haven't made mayonnaise with it, but it’s mainly intended for frying and cooking.
On a separate note, I often notice that seed oils seem to suffer from a lot of misinformation online, especially on social media etc. I often see claims that they are inflammatory, toxic or shouldn’t be used for cooking. I don’t agree with this, and I think a lot of the concerns around seed oils have been exaggerated and aren’t really supported by the evidence or research.
Regardless, I think anyone who is sceptical about seed oils would also be hard-pressed to find much wrong with this one. It is made from high-oleic sunflower seeds and contains 72 g of monounsaturated fat per 100 g, putting it in a similar range to many olive oils. Having a high oleic acid content makes it more resistant to oxidation at higher temperatures.
It is also cold-pressed, with no chemical solvents used for its extraction. Hexane is something that often gets mentioned when misinformed people criticise seed oils. I don’t personally see the tiny amounts that may remain in properly processed oils as a problem, but either way, it hasn’t been used here.
I also like that the two smaller sizes come in tinted glass bottles rather than clear glass, as this should help protect the oil from light.
Hi Luke, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really pleased to hear you and your family are enjoying the oil, and we really appreciate you sharing your perspective on seed oils and high-oleic varieties. Thank you again for your support and for choosing Clearspring.
There is a lot of non-organic Hojicha Powder on the market now, but this is the first organic one I found so i'm very happy to try it!
Very good quality, fast delivery, value for money, highly recommended
These biscuits have subtle flavours and a satisfying crisp-yet-chewy texture. Perfect with any cuppa...
I am developing a taste for Green Tea and Clearspring have a good selection of them. Hojicha is the latest that I have tried and just like the other ones I found it refreshing and offered a plethora of health benefits , Green Tea also has a range of flavours , Hojicha has a slightly smokey flavour maybe because it is roasted instead of just steaming . Clearspring offer a great service and products so I would not hesitate to recommend.
I love this traditional bamboo set it is very well made. The bamboo and spoon is the perfect addition to matcha making as it makes wonderful foamy matcha.
Buy a whisk and stand to maintain the whisks perfect shape.
Similar to another reviewer, Claudia, I experienced an extremely bitter taste with this oil. I first used it to make a chipotle mayonnaise for fish tacos, and the bitterness made the mayonnaise completely inedible and ruined the meal.
I then tested the oil again by using it to fry breaded chicken, and the bitterness was noticeable, but less so.
Based on my experience, this oil is not suitable for frying or mayonnaise unless I happened to receive a bad batch. I bought my bottle in London from Ben’s in late July/early August.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re very sorry to hear this, Lorenz. This oil is best suited to frying and deep-frying rather than making mayonnaise, but it should not have an extremely bitter taste when used for frying. Please contact us with the best-before date and batch code so our team can investigate this for you.
We have used these for bang bang cauliflower and squash. They are excellent for frying and the taste is a cut above breadcrumbs.
Love this tea and all the other products from Clearspring. Add to this a speedy delivery excellent web site and good customer service would go nowhere else.
Truly pleased with the quality of this matcha and enjoying every sip. Will certainly be repurchasing. Thank you Clearspring!
Fantastic Matcha tea. Very good quality. I don't find I need to sieve it at all before I make it. I'm super impressed with this brand. Great taste.
Disappointed i never received my free sample pack. The genmaicha i got is lovely & i'd like to try some of the others teas, but reluctant to pay the full price as i might not like them.
Arrived this morning with Royal Mail. Delivery was fast, however j put the code in to get my sample pack & it never arrived. Ony whst i paid for, so a bit disappointing.
Have used this brand many times before . Is always good quality and very versatile . Slightly smaller box than those in the supermarket but I’d more suitable for my needs .
