Wow I think we will have sampled all of Glutano's products before long! Moving right along to the tea biscuits, Glutano makes a tea biscuit that is also suitable for vegetarians. The biscuits are made from maize starch, maize flour, sugar, unhardened vegetable fat (palm oil), lupin flour, emulsifier lecithin (soy), sea salt, raising agent (ammonium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate), vanilla.
As is typical of Glutano packaging, the tea biscuits are efficiently sold in a 4.4 oz box with approx. 20 cookies in the sleeve.

Before I make any taste observations, I should note that I don't normally indulge in tea biscuits- though an afternoon brew always seems like such a good idea. In any case, I don't love these- I know, I know, tea biscuits are not intended to cause a culinary explosion in my mouth- but these are just plain dull. Certainly they are light, sweet and flaky in every way that cookies should be, but there is something lacking. I'm not even sure if it's the butter or salt to be honest. I do believe these tea biscuits would work well with a piping cup of Earl Grey, though I I think I'd rather save my calories for something a bit more decadent!

Straight forward honest review.
That is what we all need in order to make smart purchases, especially with the price of GF coods being so astronomical.
Keep up the reviews Rob, I look forward to them.
