So who in your opinion provides the best Earl Grey Tea (preferably tea bags).

Twinings Earl Grey - reasonable but not too strong
Williamson Tea - much better

Have to say Novus is the freshest and nicest I've tried.

Twinings are my usual Earl Grey. smile

Yep, although the best is loose not tea bags, as well as being far cheaper overall.

Best I've had is from Hebden Tea company, but the pigs are darn good for bags.

I'll try those. I quite fancy trying the Fortnums tea bags but i'm not paying the high delivery price.

The loose tea from Whittard's is really nice and I also quite like the citrus Earl Grey from Sainsbury's smile

Try Twining's 'Lady Grey'. Citrus rather than bergamot flavoured.

I personally don't rate Twining's tea particularly, but this gives a bit of an "Oooof!" in the morning.
