Favourite Tea Bag

Michael09 · 24-08-2014, 19:04

I never used to be a tea drinker but over the last year have drunk a lot more than I usually do. My 2 brands of choice are Yorkshire Tea Hard Water & Typhoo Tea.

So what do you prefer?

Pucky · 24-08-2014, 19:19

I only drink Yorkshire tea. I even take teabags to work so I don't have to drink the stuff they have.

barbeler · 24-08-2014, 20:15

Aldi Gold Label. I used to like Morrissons Extra Strong for a while, but then I bought a batch that tasted like it was simply dust.

Ahmad Ceylon individually foil wrapped tea bags are my favourite. I must order some more now the new stock has come in as I'm down to my last box. See my 5 star review on Amazon. I keep a weather eye out though for bargains at B&M and I'm hoping against hope that one day they get some more stock of the Jacksons of Piccadilly Fairtrade Kenyan individually wrapped tea bags for under 50p.

Twinings Everyday tea.

petral_gal · 24-08-2014, 20:57

My favourite is still Tetley but I've grown to like Twinings Everyday.

Nambarie Tea - it's was a Northern Ireland brand, been around for a lot of years, but I believe they have moved operations to the mainland now.

Punjana from Thompson teas is good. Tesco sell it.

The best mug of tea i ever had was a mug of Yorkshire tea at Teguise market in Lanzarote!

BlueEyedMrsP · 25-08-2014, 11:44

I like both Tetley and PG Tips, not sure I could tell the difference in a taste test. I also like Asda's CBY Earl Grey. I sometimes buy berry tea from Aldi, it's very nice too. I've tried Yorkshire tea but didn't find it was much different to Tetley/PG. I usually have a box of green tea in the cupboard, although I don't drink it very often. It tastes nice with honey or lemon.

I use loose leaf tea. Gunpowder at the moment.

chopsim · 25-08-2014, 11:51

I use loose leaf Assam or at a push Twinings Assam tea bags.

tangledinblue · 25-08-2014, 12:18

Earl Grey and the nicest I've tasted is from Lidl, very surprised as it's only 99p as opposed to other brands which are £2.50 plus.

Hotelier · 25-08-2014, 12:26

Yorkshire tea for hard water.

Glawster2002 · 26-08-2014, 14:39

Yorkshire Tea for me as well!!

Yorkshire Tea (preferably Gold) or Ringtons.

I made a mistake recently though. I stocked up on Yorkshire Tea in Home Bargains not realising I'd bought Yorkshire Tea 'One Cup' which is absolutely foul. Even two tea bags in one mug doesn't make it drinkable. Be aware if stocking up in Home Bargains!

Andy Birkenhead · 26-08-2014, 23:14

PG. I get it from Home Bargains for 99p. If I'm flush, I'll get it from Poundland for...£1

phill363 · 27-08-2014, 00:48

Good old Yorkshire tea for me can't beat it.

malpasc · 27-08-2014, 10:10

I drink decaf tea and the best ones I have found are either Yorkshire or Clipper.. I couldn't actually say which is my favourite out of the two of them - they're both good.

Yes, I discovered the Lidl one a couple of months ago and it is the best I've tasted too. I usually bought Twinings Earl Grey, but now I go for Lidl's and save a lot of money, though I still occasionally buy Twinings Lady Grey, which is another one of my favourites.

Patti-Ann · 28-08-2014, 16:27

We're using PG pyramid bags at the moment but we also like Typhoo and Tetley

RAINBOWGIRL22 · 28-08-2014, 16:34

Yorkshire decaff mainly - it's not bad but I need to taste their non decaff as I bet it is delish. I do have Tetley's at home though and PG Tips at work.

Yorkshire tea bags!!!! First cuppa (made in a teapot)..in the morning...awesome!
