Tea Bags

[PorkInsider]

Definitely Yorkshire tea for everyday drinking.

But has anyone tried Jing's Assam?

It's pricey (very!) but absolutely superb.

(If you ever stay at Citizen M hotels you can pinch a few bags at breakfast, too.)

Just discovered these from where I buy my coffee from...........

Tea India Masala Chai. I have a pot every morning. Lovely

Yorkshire decaf. It's all my wife and I drink as our day to day tea of choice.

If we are out for an afternoon tea I'll be braver and try something fancy and 'smokey' sans milk.

I've always drunk Yorkshire Tea, however, my OH's brother got me some Cornish Tea "Smuggler's Brew" and I have to confess, it's even nicer! They come in a foil sleeve which I keep them in and bob that into a sealable freezer bag once opened. Seems to keep them fresh,. Only downside is that the plastic-free teabags are quite easy to split if you stir the bag in the cup to get the maximum flavour out, as I like to do.

We have Barry's. Also have some Shibui Scottish Breakfast tea bags - these are a great treat.

Never seen that before. Is it a local thing?

The house tea drinker prefers Testy Finest Assam.
Seems ok to me when I take an occasional diversion from a gallon a day of Nescafe Gold Blend.

I don't drink tea, but I am the primary tea maker in the house.

The primary tea consumer says it has to be Yorkshire Tea.

I put the milk in first when making her tea though, which appears to be offensive behaviour in many circles, so I'm not sure how discerning she is to be fair.

You absolute monster

I'm a Yorkshire Tea drinker but brought a box of the Cornish stuff back from holiday last year and it was ok actually. Very different taste but not unpleasant like Tetleys/PG Tips filth.

Twinings FTW!

Agree. Also Yorkshire. I get the Yorkshire decaf as they're the only decaf that taste of tea. Expensive, but worth it.

Twinings everyday decaf are pleasant enough

[RustyMX5]

Sainsbury's Red Label here too. I do occasionally have the odd bag going pop but it's fairly rare.

[mikeswagon]

Not a big tea drinker, but have grown up with Tetleys so that tends to be what I buy.

Never had any problems with bursting a bag, and that's after squeezing them, and drying them on the line for another brew

A bit obsessive now with 5 minute timer though, but makes a decent brew.

No I mentioned it up the thread. Most supermarkets have at least one of their blends.

Cornish tea as previously stated is weak as piss and only works in soft water. Its a marketing tool to play on tourists and great for the starters, wish I'd had the idea!

The decaff is decent anywhere (for decaff...), and the coffee is quite nice.

Morrisons always seem to have it. I love it. You can also buy online from them (Thompsons) and have it delivered.
