PG - always a stalwart!

Using Yorkshire Tea atm - not bad at all.

I tend to vary the brands otherwise it becomes dull.

I do like PG Tips, but otherwise Twinnings everyday or breakfast tea. Currently on some Organic stuff, the green box ones with the kettle picture on the front, forgotten the name.

I used to like Twinnings, but recently converted to Yorkshire Tea. Its nice and strong, which is how I like my tea. I find the likes of PG Tips and Typhoo too mild.

I vary my brand pretty regularly. Changed from Twinings because I was finding the bags kept ripping when I split two of them.

Back on Sainsbury red label at the moment.

Twinings when i use to drink tea, or years ago Co-op 99 tea, that was before they went for this fair trade thing.

i can't drink tea these days, which is a shame as I like a bit of Darjeeling or Earl grey, so I have to stick with coffee.

Um coffee

Yorkshire Tea. Everything else seems to have no flavour.

Welsh Brew for the everyday cuppa (Tesco sell it) but something nicer for biscuit and cake time.

Some of the Twinning teas are not bad but thankfully good tea is getting more popular and there are some good companies online selling high quality loose teas, not cheap but you really do taste the difference.

I used to be a PG man but now it's definitely Yorkshire Tea. Nice & strong, just how I like it.


On the subject of teabags how the hell can people drink cheap supermarket own brand tea? They're all rank and as weak as nats pee.

Clipper liquorice tea and all brands of peppermint tea. Clipper are the only ones who do do just liquorice, everyone else puts other spices in theirs

The makers of Yorkshire Tea , Taylors of Harrogate also have a few variations . Their Scottish Blend is very similar but a tad stronger with a gorgeous malty twang http://www.theyorkshirepantry.com/sc...kfast-tea.html

I used to like Tetley but as I grew older I realised PG Tips was for me.

I also like Cardamom tea. Delicious.

Something very English about Tea for some reason, I remember before we was using teabags, we had a large pantry and on the inside of the door was a one of those tea caddy things that you press a button and it dispenses tea, just like these

My parents always got Typhoo again something very English about Typhoo, now it is Indian owned.

I got a small box of co-op 99 tea in my cupboard for visitors, the problem is most of my visitors drink coffee, so by the the tea goes out of date .
