Best tea

Up until recently Yorkshire Tea was my go to. For some reason it just doesn't seem that great, a bit weak and insipid.
Open to suggestions please for a new tea.

That's odd, I would say the opposite, my favourite breakfast tea is Twinings. I like Yorkshire tea but find it a bit too strong, less subtle flavour.

My favourite teabags are Twinings, but my favourite tea is the Rare Tea Company Malawi breakfast. It’s worth the extra faff of loose leaf tea (and with a cup infuser basket it’s really not that much extra effort).

Clipper organic is good ‘builders tea’

I really like the red M&S tea

Thompsons Irish tea or signature blend are my go to teabags. Quite often they are reduced with a clubcard too.

Justleaveitblankthen · 08/02/2025 23:12

I've been told that 'Barry's' (Irish) are the best out there.
Never tried them as they're quite expensive.
Sticking to Yorkshire for now.

Assam from Lidl

YouDeserveBetterSoAskForIt · 08/02/2025 23:22

Assam or Lady Grey are my favourite. Assam is nice from various supermarket brands, but I like Twinings for Lady Grey.

I used to only drink English Breakfast but I feel like it has been rubbish no matter the brand the last few years.

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 08/02/2025 23:27

Twinings Extreme streng or Fortnum & Mason royal blend

macshoto · 08/02/2025 23:31

Fortnum & Mason loose leaf:

English Breakfast
Smokey Earl Grey (contains some Lapsang Souchong)

TheSeaOfTranquility · 08/02/2025 23:33

FartyPrincess · 08/02/2025 23:34

This.

Clipper Organic Everyday Tea is the mutts nuts. Will never go back to ordinary tea in bleached tea bags.

☕️ ahh

ClioMuse · 08/02/2025 23:36

I like Ahmad tea: English tea no 1 and their Earl Grey

Their green tea with mango and lychee is lovely too.

Twinnings Assam is lovely - reminds me of the Irish tea I grew up with

bigfatquiz · 08/02/2025 23:38

I really like Tesco's own one. I've tried loads of brands and that was my favourite

sparklypinkgoblin · 08/02/2025 23:39

Glengettie Welsh Tea

TemporaryCarer · 08/02/2025 23:41

Twinnings extra strong in the burgundy box. Great if you like a decent sized mug.

spiderlight · 08/02/2025 23:46

Welsh Brew!

HÆLTHEPAIN · 09/02/2025 06:03

Rington’s Gold for us.

Elderflower14 · 09/02/2025 16:16

Farmlea Tea is excellent...

VioletIndigoBlueGreen · 09/02/2025 18:59

Rington's gold for us, but I also like Fortnums Smoky Earl Grey and Countess Grey.

familyissues12345 · 09/02/2025 20:04

We buy clipper tea, DH gives it the thumbs up (I'm more of a coffee drinker)
