Favourite Teabags?

I’ve just quit drinking & like last time, I’m craving tea! Any teabag recommendations? We currently have some sort of mixed blend from M & S but DH prefers Tetley which I usually buy. Dmil always favoured Yorkshire tea.

Yorkshire Tea as a usual tea
Twinings Earl Grey as a more specific tea.

I used to love Yorkshire Tea, Twinings and Clipper then a friend introduced me to Ringtonshttps://www.ringtons.co.uk/
I've only found it online but it's affordable and they come and deliver it in a little Ringtons van. Their slogan is "Noticeably Nicer" and it really does have a superior flavour. It's the only tea we buy now.

Teapigs Earl Grey and Darjeeling. All Tea pigs really.

M and S Empress Grey. My favourite of all time.

M and S Shortbread Tea. Incredible. Just like drinking a biscuit with your tea.

Twinnings Afternoon Tea

Cornish Tea

and try some different loose leaf ones too. Get a nice cup and saucer and a tea strainer.

Twinings strong breakfast teabags .
We used to have teapigs but too expensive so switched to these .

allmycats · 02/02/2024 08:32

Yorkshire Tea or Sainsbury’s Red Label for a cheaper option

RaininSummer · 02/02/2024 08:32

My current strong favourites are Yorkshire teas biscuit tea and their jam and toast tea. So nice.

Lancashire tea! I used to be only PG tips but I think it changed, moved to Yorkshire for a bit but the Lancashire is my favourite now.

Fluffyfleece · 02/02/2024 08:48

Quite like Cornish tea

Petal12 · 02/02/2024 08:53

Duchy organic from Waitrose. Was given one at a friend’s house and instantly converted - taste is superior. I only have one a day though so a box lasts me a good month

I had a Fortnum & Mason tea advent calendar and now have 24 tins of beautiful loose leaf tea. It is such a treat.

deplorabelle · 02/02/2024 09:02

Clipper. It tastes good, is fair trade and the bags are compostable.

Two spoons tea - bit pricy but worth every penny. You can buy online

ToBeOrNotToBee · 02/02/2024 09:20

Barry's tea only in this house

TwattingDog · 02/02/2024 09:28

Yorkshire Tea here. I buy catering bags on Amazon as its so much cheaper!

Can't bear insipid tea.

Augustus40 · 02/02/2024 09:45

Yorkshire. All others getting weaker and weaker.

marshmallowfinder · 02/02/2024 09:51

It really depends on the water in your area. Not all tea tastes the same across the country. Yorkshire tea tastes horrible here.

So totally with you on M&S Empress Grey!
We don't have a local M&S so I buy 5 packs at a go.
Nothing like it IMO.

sawnotseen · 02/02/2024 09:58

M&S extra strong. My friend introduced me years ago and I've never looked back as I can't stand weak tea. 'Pukka' for original chai and supreme matcha green.

Yes, same here. It makes a lovely cup of tea.

Ringtons is just confusing. "Gold" tea bags, "Traditional" tea bags, "Breakfast" tea bags, "Traditional Cuppas" tea bags, "Traditional for your mug" tea bags

I mean what the bloody hell is all that about?!

VictoriaSponge34 · 02/02/2024 10:17

Has to be Yorkshire tea for me, I find it tastes nicer and is stronger than twinnings, typhoo and Tetley.

DrSpartacular · 02/02/2024 10:20

Clipper.
