Right,this is boring sorry.
Currently drink Yorkshire and have tried Typhoon and Tetly and some others.
I've been recommended Irish tea, the only ones around here are Thompson's and Barrys both of which we've tried and they've been quite bland. We like quite strong tea.
What ARE the best teabags?

Luaka loose leaf. My mum used to buy pounds and pounds of it!

Punjana is red, Thompson's is green or possibly blue I think. I've tried most of the big English brands of tea I think and I don't think they are as strong.

If you try loose leaf, Suki's Belfast Brew is lovely.

My DM loves Sainsbury's fair trade though and it's not bad if you let it steep.

Twinings Assam is about the strongest tea I've had in the UK. Some of the Irish teas I got in Belfast at St George's Market were pretty good too - but it really does depend on the water, IMO you need nice soft Irish or Scottish or Northumbrian or Devonian water ideally for the best taste...

Twinings Assam is lovely. To get the strongest taste loose leaf is best.

Yorkshire Gold is the best tea ever.

Barry's is horrible. Barry's Gold is almost tolerable.
Twinings Everyday is ok if you really can't get Yorkshire Gold.
