Dilmah tea. Found it in a Eastern European shop, don't bother with much else now.

Sold them here years ago, the orange pekoe a delight. Stopped for some reason but can be got online.https://www.dilmahtea.co.uk/
the problem with tea is the variability at any given time of year, and most don't seem the get the blend consistent, when to maintain strength/flavor they would probably have to but more expensive sourced leaves in, so the taste goes. Find this in the cheap ones and in twinings etc.
Thompsons seems to be better than most. and some Welsh brand i cant recall the name of. Ringtons is usually good but pricey isn't it?
Someone mentioned Cornish tea, its ok in with Cornish water, but awful in any hard water area. weak as gnats p.

Ringtons.
Their coffee & biscuits are also excellent.
Another vote for Ringtons, esp the gold, a bulk order every few months works for usTheir coffee & biscuits are also excellent.

This if buying from supermarkets.This if I'm feeling fancy: https://www.birdandblendtea.com/products/builders-...
Tea pigs are the closest approximation to high quality loose leaf teas and the best bet in a large supermarket.
I've tried most of the brands mentioned here, would rate Tea pigs the highest, at least for my palette.
Usually get:
everyday brew
mao feng green tea
jasmine pearls tea
If you look inside the bag, you can see leaves unfurling. It isn't full of stems and dregs used in cheaper tea bags. Admittedly, you do pay though.
