what are the best tea bags?

[gentlegreen]

Surprisingly, if I'm forced to drink blended muck, I find Tetley is just about swallowable ...

I thought you were asking about the best type of bags, not the best tea.

I usually get Tetley as it comes in a nice bag and they have round teabags and not those silly pyramid things.

flip off, pedant

What's the gunpowder one?

Ok, I've looked it up & it's not what I hoped.

Yorkshire Tea

or

English Breakfast

Dependent on the mood

hello zenie! where you been?

 

[Frankie Jack]

NAAFI tea...

here and there. Hope you're well!

NAAFI tea...

But that tastes just like Yorkshire

 

[DRINK?]

Yorkshire tea.....earl grey tastes like perfume

 

[nuffsaid]

Another vote for the round Tetley ones here, although I'll nod in respect at Yorkshire teabags as well.

Yorkshire, yorkshire, yorkshire all the way

 

[Tank Girl]

I normally get tesco own, unless something else is on offer. I don't seem to taste much difference.

and I love earl grey, nice and strong, just a tiny amount of milk

 

[rutabowa]

um PG tips i guess.

The way they grow it up there just makes it that much better doesn't it.

I wasn't that impressed with Yorkshire tea, tbh. I found it a little lacking in oomph.

I drink Waitrose Earl Gray

i drink my tea black and i can't stand "normal" tea black.

I think a better thread would have been-

"What is the best tea to make builder's tea with?"

 

[ddraig]

Clipper Organic.

that one atm for me

sometimes assam, earl grey, sometimes chai and even earl grey rhoiboosh(sp)

 

[kabbes]

Frankly, if there was a common consensus about what the best tea was then there wouldn't be several hundred options available on the shelves.

Price.
Fair Trade.
Organic.

Off the top of my head.

 

[kabbes]

Alright, there would be a dozen options available. But there wouldn't be Typhoo, Tetley, Yorkshire, PG Tips and so on.

but it wasn't

and there wasn't further explanation in the first post. the OP should have been clearer

I think a new and better thread should be started.

this is probably the best approach.... thread fail.

I drink Waitrose Earl Gray

Lord! I hated Waitrose's Earl Grey. It was nasty.

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

sainsbury's basics...because they're about 40p or something ridiculous, and still fair trade.

I'm still experimenting. it's what we currently have at work. I will try some other brands for that ultimate EG experience

 

[crustychick]

oh, also, we have PG Tips in for guests... if that helps with the original intent of the thread

 

[moomoo]

I very much like the Twinings Every Day tea bags. The ones in the gold box.

Yes, these. And they're on special offer at Sainsburys atm.
