We live in the Netherlands and the tea here is revolting. We bought several boxes of Lyon's back from our last trip but have already drunk the lot.
DH will be going to England next month.
Which tea should he buy?
I was thinking maybe Yorkshire tea?
Hit me with your suggestions!
Thank you.

Thompson’s Punjana - nice and strong, only tea we drink in this house!

There's an expat shop in Sint Oedenrode, which is the middle of nowhere if that's convenient to you? They have everything and if they don't have it they'll get it for you.

Some Asian supermarkets have PG tips which are fine. Yorkshire Tea is lovely, like Barry's except stronger. I think once I bought the Pickwick English Breakfast but then the bags that are meant for a whole pot in an emergency and it was ok for the odd cup.

@MollyRover I would never have expected an expat shop in St Oedenrode! It could be combined with a trip to Ikea though, which in itself is a day out.
I'll Google them, thank you.

I'm Irish in the UK and drink Yorkshire Gold and Ahmad.

Yes, very sweet couple running a garden centre and expat shop, doing a roaring trade too! Tuincentrum Krans is the name of it. Not very cheap but not as expensive as others so worth a trip.

Yorkshire Gold is the closest thing to Barry's IMHO.

If you're feeling fancy ... fortums English breakfast tea is wonderful too
