Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I otherwise wouldn't have tried.
Each time a monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.
If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.
What did we get in the Back to School & Relaxing Evenings Degustabox box?
SXOLLIE Packham's Triumph Perry (£2.20) is more like a wine than a cider. This medium dry perry has notes of honey, caramel and a subtle hint of elderflower. Contains no added sugar, flavourings or concentrate, it is 100% natural, gluten free, 100% vegan, lower in calories, 4.5% ABV and B Corp Certified. Product of South Africa.
Pair with cheese and preserves. If you prefer to use it in cooking, how about a cider cake with almonds, or a chicken in perry and cream sauce?
Price can vary between £1.80-2.20.

Good Earth Pomegranate & Blueberry Kombucha (£1.60) is a refreshing organic drink made with natural ingredients and live cultures. It is low in sugar and calorie intake (4g of sugar and 28kcal per 250ml).
Kombucha is an acquired taste, it's a bit like Marmite. Its bold, fizzy, slightly sour taste might not appeal to everyone. It has soared in popularity in the few last years due to its health properties.
Available on Ocado, WHSmith and GoodEarth.co.uk.

I enjoy trying authentic products, and was pleased to find a bottle of Ocean's Halo Organic Spicy Korean BBQ Soy-free sauce (£4). This organic kelp based sauce gets its flavour from red Jalapeños and sesame tahini. Great for BBQ, dipping or marinades.
Certified vegan and organic. Nutrition: 35kcal and 4g of sugar per 15ml.
This BBQ sauce definitely has a bite, so use it sparingly if you enjoy your food not too spicy. It will last us a while, and thankfully, you can keep it in the fridge for up to 8 weeks after opening.
Available in ASDA and independent retailers.
