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 Gold

M&S Luxury Gold tea bags, lovely flavour.

Yorkshire tea in this house. We also fly Yorkshire airlines 😂

Barry's Gold blend.

So.

I tried almost every tea we’ve got here. All the supermarket brands, PG Tips, Tetley, Twinings, Yorkshire.

My ranking was:

1. Yorkshire Gold
2. Yorkshire Red
3. Taylors of Harrogate English or Irish Breakfast
4. Twinings Everyday or Strong Breakfast (LATER DISQUALIFIED: I can’t seem to buy a box now that doesn’t shed tons of ground tea).
5. Barry’s Gold
6. Tetley
7. PG Tips

I fancy both Assam and Ceylon equally, so I’m an English Breakfast fan. My DH prefers pure Assam, and there are several good Assams.

And #1036 - Scottish Blend. It claims to be specifically for “Scottish water,” but Scottish water makes good tea out of any tea bag. This tea is truly brown sadness water.

Anyone else who likes Taylor’s of Harrogate, there’s a great “match three” on Amazon for a good price.

For everyone on the Yorkshire Gold train, it’s often on offer at Tesco.

I'm a recent convert to Yorkshire Tea - from PG Tips.

Sainsbury's do an Assam loose tea in the Taste The Difference range. It is close to the "strong" or "gold" varieties of other brands, but slightly less deep in flavour. Fine for every day if you would like to avoid tea bags. For teabags, another vote for Yorkshire Gold.

PG Tips is terrible. If I have to drink teabag tea, I'd have Ty-Phoo.
Yorkshire Gold is too strong for me.

I prefer instant coffee although a good cup of ground coffee is excellent.
The Alcafe Gold from Aldi is good. I prefer it to Douwe Egbert gold.

Leaf tea is far better than teabags.

Twinings Earl Grey

I’ve tried them all and nothing comes close to Twinings Extra Strong Breakfast tea - expensive but as someone said it’s always on offer somewhere.

I don’t. Moved in to a new place nearly 2 months ago. It was supposed to be furnished but it doesn’t have a kettle. Luckily I don’t drink hot drinks!

PG Tips is my all-time favourite. I'm OK with Tetley, not a fan of Typhoo.

We don't like strong tea. So generally a red label tesco , sainsbury, aldi whatever

Clipper organic earl grey 😘

Does no one else worry about the plastic in the teabags & the bleaching? The reason I buy Clipper Organic is no bleached bags and plastic free, plus clean tasting organic tea?

Nana bought Indian Prince loose tea from the co-op! I didn’t know you could still get it. We drink Tetley tea, my husband drinks the decaff one.

I bought Thompsons in Sainsbury's recently and they are good! They were on offer so thought I'd try them.

Sainsbury's Red Label.

Clipper organic - I don't get the hype with Yorkshire tea at all.

Still no other Glengetti drinkers😩

Regular Yorkshire Tea is all you need.

Normal Yorkshire Tea but I'm going to have to try YT Gold now due to this thread 😅

Twinnings English Breakfast or Yorkshire T for Hard Water (which do taste better in this hard water area).

Clipper tea - the orange box

Yorkshire, and yes, they are the best. Even the decaf tastes great.
