Only square ones will do, round ones dont taste as good.

YABU. Makes no difference to the taste as far as I can tell. X

Stinkyminkymoo · 07/02/2013 08:13

Pyramids.

That is all.

ShhBoom · 07/02/2013 08:14

YANBU, only square or pyramid ones in this house.

saycheeeeeese · 07/02/2013 08:17

I've never tried pyramids shame on me

Round ones taste weaker, I know its all in my head, I associate them with tetley, which is awful

You need PG Tips. Builders tea extraordinaire.

Pickles101 · 07/02/2013 08:36

YANBU, square only. ONLY.

Icelollycraving · 07/02/2013 08:40

Yanbu. Round ones are weak. I however use 2 teabags for every cup,square ( bags & possibly me).

PuppyMonkey · 07/02/2013 08:43

The only rule about teabags is only stir, never squeeze. Then it doesn't matter what shape they are.

saycheeeeeese · 07/02/2013 09:21

I remember buying asda or tescos finest and they came in little silk pyramids, I kept them good and they ended up out of date.

So...what is everyone's favourite brew?

I alway think round are bad for the environment because of all the waste tea bag paper. Probably a really stupid idea tho.

LovesCheeese · 07/02/2013 09:26

I'm worried you might be my step-MIL!! Yes yabu, especially if you are at someone's house and complain about there lack of pyramid tea bags!!

holmessweetholmes · 07/02/2013 09:27

Loose tea is better.

saycheeeeeese · 07/02/2013 10:03

Haha lovescheese I'd be the youngest MIL out there!! Grin

I think yabu. It's all to do with the brewing. But my mother would say pyramid bags all the way - and can tell the difference.

evertonmint · 07/02/2013 11:23

I'm fussy with tea and the tea I drink comes in square bags so I never get round ones. This is a shame as they fit so neatly into the bottom of a mug which appeals to my OCD tendencies Smile

Maybe I'm slightly OCD about tea I'm obsessed

Don't even get me started on teabags with strings attached, they give me the shivers! !

I used to love PG tips but something has changed with them. I don't get a lovely golden brown cuppa anymore when I use them. I've moved over to Tetley and they're brilliant. So round tea bags here. YABU.

Icelollycraving · 07/02/2013 12:13

I like Yorkshire teabags. Tetley are too weak & even bought builders,they were crap.

Somethingtothinkabout · 07/02/2013 12:30

Nambarrie for me.

Also LOVE the tea from Pret (pyramid, but on a string), but I don't think you can buy them in shops Sad

WankbadgersBreakfast · 07/02/2013 12:32

YABU.
They fit nicely in the bottom on my mug, as another poster stated.

Also, square ones always gets bits stuck in the corner. I can't cope with that.

seeker · 07/02/2013 12:34

Pyramids are the devil's work.

hometown38 · 07/02/2013 12:47

Has to be Yorkshire teabags (hard water ones as well !)

seeker · 07/02/2013 12:51

!

In a plain white mug. Left in for exactly 3 minutes( on the timer)

Binkyridesagain · 07/02/2013 12:57

Yorkshire tea here as well, DH is a heathen when it comes to tea, he likes all those poncy teas like jasmine or chrysanthemum. Tea has to be strong and brown!

RCOR · 07/02/2013 13:19

I'm with Binary....I think circle tea bags are wasteful environmentally. Have always thought that. And aren't pyramid tea bags just a square bag with one end secured at 90 degree to other end???
