What is your tea bag of choice ?

[VictoriaBun]

We do use loose leaf tea but also teabags for convenience . Up til now we have been happy with Twinnings Assam, but lately having been finding them variable and even bland . So asking for a good, strong flavour teabag. Any suggestions ?

Was Lyons quickbrew but that was discontinued recently so currently on typhoo one cup. Both were lovely and cheap.

Tried the sainsburys gold label but was awful.

Whittards - especially English Breakfast, 1886 blend and Earl Grey.
Also Aldi gold teabags.

Although I had some Punjana tea today for the first time in ages and it was very nice, I had to sing "pick Punjana tea" while I drank it though 😂

Twinnings Earl Gray

Twinnings EB but for normal home pg tips
Not tetly !!!

Twining Earl Grey decaf

Dorset tea , tastes lovely , box is beautiful and how can you not drink something labelled a cup of sunshine!!😀

M&S Gold. Might try some of the other Gold ones after reading this thread !

Sainsbury Red Label (comes in boxes of 240) if you need a stash. I bring them back to Belgium in bulk as we drink so much of it.

It has a lovely malty flavour if left to brew for long enough.

I've not seen anyone mention it I don't think but I'm currently obsessed with Yorkshire Biscuit tea, it sells like malted milk biscuits.

I've only seen it in Morrisons and Asda and it's often sold out but I love it.

MissConduct I can buy Barry's and PG Tips in the US. Have you tried the furrin ('international') aisle?

@thefirstmrsdewinter My supermarket had Barry's Gold Blend, and it was in the regular tea section. I had never noticed it because it was on the very bottom shelf. So I bought a box yesterday. Lovely! A bit stronger than I'm used to but very smooth and flavorful. Thanks for the tip.

Ringtons one cup!

MissConduct good to know. Horror of horrors the local supermarket now only sells the Barry's in the green box (Irish Breakfast I think?) but I didn't think to look in the ordinary tea aisle.

PG tips, I'm going back to their loose tea, it's all I've ever drunk.

@thefirstmrsdewinter mine had Barry's in the green box too - it was decaffeinated Irish breakfast tea. Tea without the caffeine seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

Barry's nothing else comes close

NottonightJosepheen No sadly not in Ireland but I receive regular parcels ;-) !

Aldi really???? Ohhhhh that could change tings I shall try these and report back-if I save pennies and get a decent strength brew I might be prepared to be sacrilegious !

Twinnings Sleepy Time
Peet’s Assam

I was just about to say the exact same. I love Barry's tea and swore I'd never change. Nothing else came close till I tasted aldi's McGrath's- a great alternative to Barry's

Typhoo or Teapigs everyday. I feel like they require the least effort to get the strength of tea I like

MissConductUs- Amazon has a great selection of lovely tea. I buy Taylor’s and Peet’s from them.

SecretWitch when you say Peet's tea, do you mean the Mighty Leaf tea brand owned by Peet's Coffee?

I have seen the great selection of teas on Amazon. I've found that their grocery items are often more expensive than what I'd pay at my local Stop & Shop, which was the case for the Barry's Gold Blend. I'm also wary of what use by date I'll get buying from Amazon. That's been a bit of an issue when I've bought Peet's coffee from them.

Scottish Blend
