Favourite Teabags?

[RabbitsRock]

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.

M&S gold.. really good strong cuppa

Wow, I only had that when I was in Sri Lanka where they produced it.
But is that your everyday cuppa?

Yorkshire or M&S Everyday tea. I do like some of the Wittards blends too. The loose Earl Grey and oolong ones are lovely. I always feel like Tetley's tastes like murky water, I might just be a tea snob.

Glengettie by far.

Otherwise it's Waitrose Nettle, Gingko and Peppermint to which I am totally addicted!

Welsh Tea. Discovered it on a weekend away in Llangollen and now order it from the direct. It's lush.

Haha, I know what you mean! I stick with the Gold and it's excellent.

I have two cups a day usually (from one teabag). I like it that much I'll shell out for it.

Also keep Yorkshire Gold and sometimes drink it with oat milk if I want something more robust. But if I had to choose, it would be Marco Polo.

Now I'm thinking about a trip to Sri Lanka!

This for me too, for all the above reasons.

Twinings English Breakfast has gone sadly downhill.😡

Yorkshire Gold.
OH occasionally tries other brands but always comes back to YG.

Miles' tea. I only ever use loose tea, but I assume their tea bags are the same. However the taste of your tea depends on your water supply, so you'll have to experiment. https://www.milesteaandcoffee.com/

Tetley Extra Strong

M&S Gold. Loose leaf is better if you can be arsed, but the bags are good too. It's the only 'everyday' tea I've found that doesn't have that mouth-drying tanniny thing.

Tea bags - Williamsons English Breakfast

But we normally drink loose tea a lot as well and it's either Fortumne & Mason or Good & Proper, I like their Kenya one.

My every day is Yorkshire Tea bags but Waitrose Ceylon Tea bags are a delicious alternative, lighter and fragrant.

Yorkshire

FOR THE EARL GREY DRINKERS strongly recommend Newby tea but the silken pyramids - comes in a white box
This one - but you must let it brew for about 5 minutes in the cup

I was an avowed Twinnings Earl Grey drinker but about two or three years ago they did something to their blend that really weakened the flavour. Even if you let it brew for 10 mins or something the Bergamot was very poor when previsouly had been strong.

I went on a quest to find a better one and tasted a lot of different brands. This was the winner by a long way. It's a fabulous tea and a great brand. not cheap (they've got an offer on Amazon at the moment ) but really worth it if you like tea.

@Sarvanga38 - totally agree about Twinings going down hil - it's really sad as it was a great tea and I had strong brand loyalty. Try Newby teas. their whole thing is about quality tea.

M&S Earl Grey. So much nicer than other supermarkets or Twinings etc. which just taste weak in comparison. I'll try the Newby tea recommended above though! Apart from that, Yorkshire Gold.

I’ve never tried the jam one (it really doesn’t appeal!), but I can confirm that the biscuit one is amazing and quite addictive!

Aldi have just started doing their own range of biscuit teas - I bought the salted caramel one yesterday with high hopes, but it was a bit flavourless, sadly

Thomsons Irish Breakfast Tea has replaced Yorkshire Gold for me, it's delicious!

Give Barry's a go. Game changer.

Ooh I will, thanks!

Yorkshire Gold
Ringtons
Barry's
Twinings Assam - bags or loose
Twinings Lemon and Ginger

It really does depend on your water though - if you're in a hard water area filter your water before boiling and use Yorkshire Tea for hard water

Tick Tock Rooibos

Ringtons are the best (and they're the supplier for Fortnum & Mason, M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury's)

I have yorkshire tea bags, twinings Earl Grey (although this last few boxes don't taste the same) and twinings spicy chai. I'm going to try some of the m&s ones after this thread though!
