Teabags

[InnPain]

Hi

Can I pick your brain this morning and ask that you give me your best suggestion for teabags? I’ve been using Tetley like forever and feel it’s time to switch up as I’m just not getting that good cuppa kick from it.

I love my tea, drink around 3 cups a day minimum. The one that is suggested the most I shall purchase on my next shop!

Thanks

We've switched to loose tea and love buying different ones to taste (from Bird and Blend or Whittards etc)

I switched to decaf in the afternoons but dh isn't a fan so I tend to make with teabags and always have Dorset Tea, it's the best.

I've never understood the fuss about Yorkshire Tea tbh, it has a weird after taste.

Twinings all the way for me.
Start the day with a Pure Peppermint, then onto Everyday until after lunch, then move to Lady Grey (not Earl, Lady), and back to Pure Peppermint after dinner.
Their black teas have a much cleaner, crisper taste to them, I find Yorkshire/Tetleh/PG almost slimy.

Yorkshire tea all the way

I was on Lidl Knightsbridge Gold for a long while, but they seem to have completely changed and have no oomph to them any more, so am now buying Clipper Classic Everyday (added benefit of no plastic).

Currently have some Barry's that a friend sent me, and they are great if you can get them locally.

Yorkshire

Yorkshire tea for me, or loose leaf. If I want an earl grey I use Williamson's.

Interestingly they have switched out the polypropylene to PLA - this is the same as PG tips has done and can still be composted in high temperature compost bins.

PG Tips say plastic free, Yorkshire tea says that WRAP say you shouldn't use that term as PLA is a plant based plastic.

Yorkshire Tea. Every time.

M&S Gold or M&S Extra Strong

Yorkshire here too.

Dorset

Our everyday brand is Scottish blend. I love it!

If I'm out at a cafe, I do like a twinnings English breakfast!

Twinnings breakfast. Have switched to the loose leaf majority of the time due to the plastic in the bags though. It’s actually nice making a pot of tea

I have different teas for different times of the day.
Twinings Everyday is best when you just want a "normal" cuppa. Teapigs Morning Glory is also amazing but much more expensive.

Yorkshire Toast & Jam and Biscuit teas are great for something a bit different but not quite a flavoured tea. Also Twinings Dark Caramel - it can be a bit sweet, though.

Hoogly tea Marzipan roobois is my caffeine free evening treat (if you like marzipan, obviously).

Glengettie here. Designed for our lovely Welsh water.

Barry's. We can't get it in the shops anymore so I order it from their website.
Twining's Extra Strong is also good.
Having said that, after years of drinking strong tea I've switched to almond milk and it's a bit too bitter at my usual strength, but both teas are tasty and punchy.

Any assam tea. Lovely flavour.

I find rest of the tea’s really bland in comparison

Scottish Blend, best tea ever.

I have wondered if it depends on where you live and if you have "hard" or "soft" water?

Pg tips all the way, brew for a good 3 minutes. Heaven!

Yorkshire or Sainsbury's Red Label.

For tea leaves try Glengettie.

PG Tips..

Went to PG for the biodegradeable factor and they’re fine.

My favourite is Yorkshire Tea too, especially their Biscuit brew.
