A Nice biscuit, (pronounced like the French city, and not rhyming with ‘rice’. That’s right!) is essentially a coconut-flavored biscuit, sprinkled with sugar crystals. It is most often enjoyed with a cup of tea and is hugely popular around the world, especially in England and parts of Europe. From the locally available brands here in India, very few Nice biscuits actually have the perfect balance of coconut flavors, in a crunchy biscuit that’s dusted with sugar crystals. After two days of multiple side-by-side tasting sessions involving the top 3 commonly available brands (Britannia, Parle & Sunfeast) we can tell you that Britannia Nice Time is the tastiest Nice Biscuit amongst all contenders.

Why is Britannia Nice Time Biscuit our Top Pick:
There are two factors we specifically looked for in our search for the Tastiest Nice Biscuit For Your Tea: Crunch & Flavour.
For crunch: We looked for the inherent crunch from the biscuit itself, and how this was enhanced by the addition of sugar crystals. In the case of Britannia Nice Time Biscuit, these two factors seemed most balanced. While the biscuit itself is light and crunchy, the amount of sugar ‘showered’ on the biscuits is also just right. The other two contenders, we felt, had way too much sugar on them.
Britannia Nice Time Biscuit was not only the largest in size, (not by a big margin, though), but it was definitely the crunchiest biscuit of all; where the crunch does not come from the sugar granules alone.
For flavor: Traditionally, Nice biscuits have a mild coconut flavor, which adds to the overall sweetness of the biscuit. Britannia Nice Time Biscuit, has the most delicate balance of sugar to coconut, making it a delicious tea-time companion.

How We Picked Our Brands
A few factors that affect our brand selection involve its price range and popularity. Brands such as Parle, Britannia, and Sunfeast, are known to all. They are some of the most popular brands that claim to provide their consumers with products of good quality. In addition to that, the most important factor remained the type of product that we were reviewing. Nice is a coconut flavored biscuit that is showered with sugar, with rounded bumps on its edges. And with all of these important key factors in mind, we ended up with the three best options for our review.
Who Is It For?

So, if you are looking for a piece of cookie that will leave your taste buds satisfied, and would also go along with your cup of tea, then this review is for you.
Taste Test- Our Parameters
In order to get the best from our competitive taste test, we decided to fix some parameters upon which we based the tasting of each of the brands available to us. The principle behind this is to judge the products in some specific areas that the consumer also relates to. These parameters are listed below:
- Crunch: Though there are many types of biscuits that appear to be soft or a little doughy, Nice particularly, is known for its crunch from the dusted sugar crystals, which further adds to its fan following.
- Flavor: Mixing the taste of dough and coconut can be a tricky thing to do. And in addition to that, this type of biscuit must be perfectly sweet as well.
Across both these parameters, we found Britannia Nice Time Biscuit to best amongst all contenders.
Britannia Nice Time Biscuit is light, crunchy and delicious. The amount of sugar ‘showered’ on the biscuits is also just right.
Parle 20-20 Nice (Buy on Big Basket) has way too many sugar granules sprinkled on it; the granules are small, but there is lots of it on each biscuit. The biscuits are also very thin, in fact, these are the smallest amongst all contenders. Lastly, there is very little coconut flavor. Overall, the result is not very satisfactory.
Sunfeast Nice Biscuits (Buy on Amazon) has the maximum density of sugar granules across each biscuit, but these are large, chunky crystals. Each bite feels like you are having more sugar than biscuit. It has minimum coconut flavor.
