What teabags do you buy?

What teabags do you buy? And are they what you'd consider THE best teabags that money can buy?

Like I buy own brand instant coffee, but I do think Nescafe gold blend smooth is THE best instant coffee.

Im talking black classic English style tea, nothing fancy or flavoured.

Yorkshire Tea. No others compare.

FatLarrysBanned · 17/12/2025 18:52

M & S Extra Strong is my preferred brew 🫖

NotMeNoNo · 17/12/2025 18:52

Yorkshire Tea decaf, the only one with a taste.

Ok so I did not know Yorkshire had a gold tea. I'll that this time, and the M&S instant.

I went right off Yorkshire, I couldn’t taste it any more 🤔
Now I’m drinking PG tips. M&S do an extra strong one, I might try that.

M&S red label - great value and taste!

Yorkshire decaf. They are the nicest decaf bagged black tea I've tried so far.

Thedogscollar · 17/12/2025 18:52

Yorkshire all the way.

I love Sainsburys Red Label or Barry's which DH stocks up with on Ireland work trips.

FrayaMorstater · 17/12/2025 18:54

Yorkshire tea for hard water

Tighteningmybelt · 17/12/2025 18:55

PG tips. Can’t stand Yorkshire

DarkEyedSailor · 17/12/2025 18:56

M and S Extra Strong. I can't get on with Yorkshire Tea, and their adverts annoy the giblets out of me.

Sittingonthefence83 · 17/12/2025 18:56

I have the gold ones from Lidl at the moment. I’m quite liking those

OverlyFragrant · 17/12/2025 18:57

Barry's tea

honeyfox · 17/12/2025 18:57

Barry's Red, Yorkshire tea and I have some Fortnums from a London visit too.

SpiritVaults · 17/12/2025 18:57

Twinings Strong English Breakfast is sublime. It's pricey, but always on offer. Don't care for Yorkshire Tea despite being from God's own country.

Piggywaspushed · 17/12/2025 18:57

As soon as they changed PG Tips, I had to change. The only tea that tastes a bit like old school PG is Sainsburys Red. Tescos much blander. Never liked Yorkshire .

Canwejustnot · 17/12/2025 18:58

Interesting.
Twinnings English Breakfast, both caff and decaff here but I'm def going to try the Yorkshire Gold considering the love on this thread.

Sakura7 · 17/12/2025 18:59

Barry's

Endofyear · 17/12/2025 18:59

Thompson's tea from Northern Ireland is my favourite!

Themagicfarawaytreeismyfav · 17/12/2025 18:59

Yorkshire gold

CalzoneOnLegs · 17/12/2025 19:01

Co-op Earl Grey, I’ve been told their Indian Prince tea is wonderful also

Rockchick01 · 17/12/2025 19:01

Not a tea drinker but husband drinks either Twinnngs English Breakfast or Lady Grey.

Gatekeeper · 17/12/2025 19:01

Ringtons Breakfast teabags...good and strong without being stewy. Made the North-East what it is! (And stotties)

NotMyProblemAnymore · 17/12/2025 19:02

Been buying Barrys Gold tea bags since Yorkshire brand lost it's flavour, and I've not been back to see if they've found it again.
