Best teabags?

[pumpkintits]

I bought Tetley and they are awful, I don't know why but they just don't taste like tea!

Can anyone answer the ultimate question of what is the best tea? I don't want to spend a fortune buying lots of different disappointing teas 😁

Twinings are my favourite bagged tea. Yorkshire Tea is probably the most popular but personally, I don’t think it tastes very nice. I have recently made a switch to loose leaf tea though. Not much more time or effort with a stainless steel strainer basket, but the taste is more than worth it.

Twinings strong English Breakfast

I tried a number a few years ago and we always get clipper organic now - we like quite strong ‘builders tea’.

I am also a fan of strong tea, although I have to have mine with 2 sugars! Nothing better than a lovely big mug of sweet tea 😁

I have had Yorkshire tea ages ago but I can't remember what it tasted like!

I'm also partial to an Earl Grey

Yorkshire tea

I like Clipper Fairtrade teas best, a good strong taste and bright colour.

Aldi gold are lovely, and also cheap!

Yorkshire tea

When in the UK or Belgium, I will accept Twinnings English Breakfast.

But the best teabags are absolutely Barry's Gold Blend in the red box!!! From the real capital of Cork!!

Yorkshire normal (green and red) or even gold packaging. It's lovely.

I prefer Indian Assam loose tea as well.

Glengettie is the best IMO. Not sure if it's only in wales though. My Italian in-laws always buy me Twinings breakfast when I visit, find it really insipid. Could be their crappy water and inability to boil correctly though. No MIL.. it isn't enough to heat it up in the microwave.

Absolutely anything made by these guys. Thompsons. Shiny packets, sold in Tescos, Ocado do them, even Amazon, probably elsewhere. They are the only tea I like now really after trying everything. Better than Twinings AND not as expensive!

Marks and Spencer Extra Strong
Waitrose Gold Extra Strong
Ringtons
Nambarrie (if you can find them).

Yorkshire and Yorkshire Gold in our house, we even take a load on holiday with us as you just don't get decent tea abroad. But @heldinadream is right, Thompson's tea is very good indeed. I've bought it in TK Maxx and budget shops.

Waitrose English Breakfast but if you like strong tea then Waitrose Assam is great.

Yorkshire tea is good. Also Thompsons. And lidl gold is surprisingly tasty. And cheap

Definitely the Twinings extra strong

Fortnum's do some lovely ones, albeit a bit spendy. (You can also make a loose leaf bespoke to your taste AND you can put your name on the tin!)
But Yorkshire. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yorkshire Gold or Twinings Extra Strong Breakfast. Let it brew, and never, NEVER squeeze the bag. It pulls out all the bitterness, and spoils the rounded tea flavour. I can always tell.

The M&S own brand ones in red box I have found good and reasonably priced (am fussy with tea and used to only get branded before, these are only ones I have found that I like own brand!)

Sainsburys Kenya tea in the orange box 80 for 1.60. Really good.

Just the normal red label Aldi ones for me. I can't tell the difference between different teas at all. Same with wine. I'm common as muck, me 😁

Lyons Gold Blend

Right, I have battled through bitter winds to Morrisons and picked up a box of Yorkshire Teabags (the red and green box) and the kettle is boiling! Will report back with feedback 😁 I was tempted to try a few more however I have just had the conversation with DH about curbing my unnecessary spending in Morrisons so thought better of it...
