Who makes the perfect teabag?

Yorkshire Tea get my vote. Lovely strong flavour. |

I do like Yorkshire but I think Ringtons are better, it's a lovely brew.

Tea bags are the work of satan. Loose tea's much better

Certainly not Twinings!
I bought an expensive pack of their breakfast tea and, even in a small mug and leaving the bag in for some time, there is NO tea taste in them at all. I'm using two at a time just to get a bit of flavour and to get rid as soon as possible, never to buy them again. The 'gold box' ones at Lidl are infinitely superior to the above. |

We usually alternate between Yorkshire and PG. The likes of Tetley & Typhoo are a big no no as they don't taste of anything.

I usually just get whatever on special.
At the moment I've got some Assam and English Breakfast from Aldi and they are both very nice indeed. |

I like clipper tea bags, they can be slightly more expensive ( look out for deals) but I do find they make a great cup of tea.

I like Taylors tea as well, the orange box type.
I also like Morrison's own organic tea. Both are strong and use good paper material for the bag that let the tea brew well. |

For regular tea it has to be Yorkshire Tea
Earl Gray we get Twinnings. Peppermint tea and other such as Ginger and Lemon we vary between several. |

I teabagged my girlfriend when I was drunk once. I thought it was quite funny.

Once I've been through a whole box I'm bored of the taste so I get a different brand each time. At the moment it's Knightsbridge Green Tea from Lidl and it's not bad at all.

Don't care what anyone else likes my favourite is twinings English breakfast or their traditional afternoon, we also like their everyday tea too.
A lot of the teas previously mentioned are far too strong for me. More like builders tea than for a lady ! |

Each to their own, of course, but I also like strong tea and would never describe Yorkshire Tea as "weak"...

Clipper Gold Tea. It's a little more pricey than your standard everyday teas but worth it, everyone who comes to mine comments on how nice the tea is
. As far as I know they only do it in Tesco for some reason.I love teapigs Darjeeling but the price is insane. |

Thank goodness I'm almost at the end of the Twinings Breakfast Tea (henceforth known as gnat's pee, to me). I was very disappointed with them and don't even like strong tea. I've been using two tea bags per mug - and only a normal sized mug too.
My next box is back to the Lidl Gold that I've used for years. They never let me down. |

For regular tea Typhoo tastes fine to me......
240 pack half price in Morrisons (£2.74). Long shelf life so fill your boots. |

I love Twinings. Can't beat a cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey

Mrs Diva is the tea drinker in the house and she only likes PG. I drink coffee 99% of the time, but if I have tea, I'll drink whatever's to hand

I use to keep a box of Earl Grey for when friends came round but find I personally can't stand the taste now. |
