I'm a big fan of Revital in Solihull, it's like a healthy heaven of herbal goodness.
The store is actually massive, but doesn't really look that big from the outside, and the downstairs floor is dedicated to selling organic food and drinks, whether it be vegetarian or vegan.
But my favourite thing about this shop is the extensive quantity of herbal teas, both in loose form and tea bag form. There's literally two isles dedicated to herbal infusions, and I end up spending hours browsing through them all like a library. I often buy Rosehip from here, because it's the only place in Birmingham where you can buy this herb in loose form. And at £1.70 for 200g, you can't really go wrong.
There's quite a few different herbs sold here that you can pick up cheaper than anywhere else. I usually buy Yerba Maté tea from here as well, which only costs £1.50 for 200g. This is an absolute bargain! Anywhere else I've bought it from has cost me around £3 for 100g! I'm a massive drinker of Maté, and I get down it quite quickly. So I always return to Revital for a top up. Maté is a much better alternative than coffee.
Upstairs stocks a wide range of herbal supplements and tinctures. I buy Bilberry tinctures from here to help with eye strain. It isn't cheap but I have to admit, it works wonders! read more
