Remember to forget me!
As it's my birthday next week, I decided to treat myself to a selection of different loose teas. It's been a while since I branched out from my usual safe choices of supermarket brands.
There seems to be quite a distinct rift here in the UK between supermarket grades and other low price/limited choice sellers, and the really snooty high end suppliers who have a very wide selection, but who want to charge far too much, in my opinion. After a bit of shopping around, I managed to find an online seller that had a reasonably diverse array at reasonably affordable prices. By which I mean 50g bags costing £2 to £3, instead of £10+
Minimum order was £30 for free delivery, and that bought me 13x50g bags, ranging from what I assume will be very safe choices, to obscure teas I have never heard of. I opted for playing safe with 50g bags in case there were any I really didn't like. However, this company also does do larger quantities at better prices, in case I discover any that I want a half kilo bag of in future.
