what are the best tea bags?

[boing!]

Sainsbury's red label. Actually capable of making a decent strong cup of tea, unlike pg tips. And they're nice and cheap.

Is this a thread about tea bags or tea?

Well the topic is called 'What are the best tea bags?'.

So yeah, its anyones guess really.

another vote for clipper organic although i'd have to try every tea bag over a period of time to be able to comprehensively say which was the ultimate champion.

 

[100% masahiko]

Don't usually buy teabags but if I have to, it's Clipper Green Tea Organic.

Also like the Tesco's Finest Earl Grey.

 

[nicksonic]

what's 'lady grey' like?

Twining's English Breakfast tea. if you start using it you will never go back to chav teabags like PG Tips.

But that tastes just like Yorkshire

Aye... but strong enough to get you up off your arse whether you have something to do or nor...

 

[Kanda]

For once, I can't argue wid da bird.

It taste better than other teas obviously..


Taste is opinion though, not fact. Doesn't stop me saying it.

i was hoping for a 'flavour analysis' but i presume it's strong n malty.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

i drink yorkshire tea at home and at work we've got mr scruff tea, which is actually really nice.

 

[stupid dogbot]

PG Tips, obviously.

Have Tetley at the moment, because someone else chose 'em.

I don't drink it, anyway.

Absolutely...and off topic, but Twinings Hot Chocolate ...think it's new, is divine too.

 

[machine cat]

Yorkshire Tea

However, if I don't have any milk then i'll go for a bag of Pu'er instead

 

[purplex]

Yorkshire Tea

You have good taste

 

[teahead]

Yorkshire Tea

I'd go with these too, except I forgot last time. Malty, rich jobbies they are

 

[komodo]

yorkshire is ok but M+S extra strong is the bizz

 

[Annierak]

Morrisons or Tesco value teabags. 80 teabags for 28p! Bargain

I like my tea weak and these do the job better than any others I've tried. Hate PJ tips and Tetleys etc, within seconds of whipping the teabag out it's like ink! Can't go wrong with these value teabags

Whatever is on BOGOF at the supermarket at any particular time - can't afford to be fussy. A cuppa is a cuppa and I'll drink whatever I can afford.

Twinings Earl Grey - I.ve tried Clipper and supermarket own brands and they're not as good, apart from Carrefour supermarket bio organic ones, but I don't have a local Carrefour in Manchester.

Some of my colleagues were really into 'Yorkshire Tea' and I sometimes took them a box back with me. As this clearly passed the Brit expat test, you might want to give it a try. Two out of three cats recommend it, sorry I mean expats.

Before I made the switch to Earl Grey, back in the days I used to drink milk in my tea, I used to drink Twinings Assam - again, that's 'proper' tea, strong, builders style, but more strong flavoured tea as opposed to strong because it's been brewed too long. If you like a decent strong cup of tea you might like Assam.

Clipper are the best, and they're Fair Trade, so you know that the people who grew and picked it aren't being exploited.

 

[harpo]

I am just having a cup of 'Make Mine a Builders'. Strong, vigorous stuff. Also bungs some of the profits to the Federation of Master Builders to create apprenticeships.

^ This one - I think it's Fairtrade as well.

i t hinkit's innaccurate to say that no one who picks fair trade tea is being exploited.

 

[Orang Utan]

i bought yorkshire hard water bags in the end

 

[Maggot]

why? They certainly get much better deal than the poor people who pick and grow for the multi-nationaqls.
