Bagged Tea choices

[KnurledNut]

Due to convenience and space, I'm stuck with bagged tea at work.

Currently I'm drinking Barry's Tea, with Yorkshire and PG Tips up next. I find these better than the standard Lipton available in the states.

Are they any other bagged teas you can recommend?

Numi Tea is without pesticides if you care about such things.

These are pyramid tea sachets that have better quality tea in them and the pyramid shape allows water to flow over the tea better.

You can buy a package of empty tea bags, and then bring in some loose leaf teas.

Or you can pre-load the bags at home. That way you can have a variety of teas during the day.

Here are a couple of pretty good choices that should be easy to find in a supermarket.



Both brands have numerous flavors and they range from good to awful, you make that decision. The Chinese Oolong shown above is purported to be the single best bagged tea on the planet by some experts.
As to the veracity of such claims I do not know, but I do enjoy the Earl Grey and English Breakfast varieties from these Brands.

I am a regular drinker of Twinings English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast. The Irish Breakfast packs a little more punch.

PG Tips is my go-to tea for a workday. On weekends, when I have the time to make a proper cuppa, it's an organic White Earl Grey.

I've bought a variety pack of Dilmah teas from Amazon and find this brand to be a definite cut above Twinings, Bigelow, PG Tips, Brry's, etc. This pack included Ceylon Supreme, English Breakfast, English Afternoon and Earl Grey and they are all very good.

I like UK version of Twinings English Breakfast -- it's the one in the black package which is different from the red USA package. I brought a bunch back with me from a trip in September and will be sad when it is done. It is a bold black tea, I enjoy it very much

Have you compared it to the Twinings Irish Breakfast tea we get here?

Yes I have had both and I prefer the black English breakfast. it wasn't an a/b comparison though I think Irish is a different blend of tea.

Twinings, Bigelow are pretty good.
Celestial Seasonings have good flavored fruity teas.

given the choice I would take the pyramid over the standard bag. No brainer in my book.

Oh, maybe I should have asked about a strength rating comparison.

Our resident Brit suggested I try PG Tips. I picked up a box today, and am enjoying a cup now. It is a very nice tea, even if they are an upstart Only in England would a company that has been in business since 1930 be considered the new guys.

On occasion, I have found more drinking pleasure from non-name cheap tea bags than fancy stuff.

I'm afraid I don't have a good enough memory of the Irish to compare, sorry.

I might try the PG Tips, too.

I am enjoying a cup of Tips now- it is a very nice tea. Irish Breakfast brings more strength, but the flavor of the PG Tips is fantastic (for a bagged tea)

Whittards of Chelsea, Earl Grey. Always gets my morning kicking. [emoji2]

This would be my suggestion.
