Just started getting into drinking the stuff, takes a little while to 'adjust' to the taste...

Can anyone recommend any brands that offer the tea in tea bags (for convenience at work), prefably availible from all good supermarkets, but if the tea is really worth it I'll happily shop on-line.

I've tried:-

Clipper (including the lemon one yuck tastes of a mix between Lemsip and mud)
Twinnigs - quite nice, but leads me to think there are better bags out there....

Cheers chaps

Would boiling the kettle, pouring into the cup and leaving for a few minutes before putting the tea in, have a similar effect?

It's best freshly boiled.

Keeping an eye on the air bubbles (for those who are fussy about their tea) is not such a hardship, no?
Well yes and no....

At work I use communal kettle so this could lead to some interesting feedback when i'm looking into the kettle checking for bubbles, then turn it off before it boils. Not sure my colleagues would understand!

At home I agree, this fussyness won't impact on anyone else.

I could buy my own kettle, but this seems slightly overkill at the moment!

Cheers for the tips, I shall let the water cool after boiling, then dip my bag in (so to speak)
