Tea bags. Specifically - which one?

We have tried
Sainsbury's - ok, but we don't go in Sainsbury's very often.
Tesco - ok, but you get a box with the bags all loose inside, so once you have opened the box, they are all exposed to the atmosphere.
Lidl - ok, cheap, but we have found the odd bag bursts in the cup and if you don't spot it, that is horrible.

I/we are not interested in loose ta and we can't detect any difference in taste between the different brands.

What do you think? Have I got to make a trip to Sainsbury's once in a while?

Or what?

Can anybody else had problems with the bags bursting? First world problem, I know, but it's irritating when it happens.

I'm Sainsbury's Red Label & don't have an issue with the bags bursting. You can buy boxes of at least 160 so a couple of those should keep you going for a while.
I may have to go back to Sainsbury's Red Label. We recently bought a box of PG Tips, see how they go.

Tea bags 21 pence each? Nice work if you can get it.

Yorkshire tea or GTFO.

Or just go with your own choice and buy a tin or Tupperware container to empty them into.
Buying them is not the problem.

Keeping them is not the problem.

Any road. I just want a tea bag which won't burst.

This. End the thread. Brew tea is delicious.
20 pence per bag! Do you think I am made of money?

But - do they split or burst in the mug?

I am drinking my first cup of PG Tips tea made with a tea bag.

Report.
Sip
Yes, it's o.k.
Pause. Sip
Yes, it's o.k.

Well, that's it. All the tea bags taste the same. I hope the PG Tips bags don't burst.
