How many cups/mugs from one teabag

I've always managed to get 3 mugs (4 at a push) from 1 teabag.

Currently Aldi Red Label, but other times Tetley, PG Tips or whatever happens to be on offer.

Furny

I never buy tea bags on many offers as they can't beat the consistant price i pay which is £1 for a box of Typhoo One Cup 100 bags from of all places Superdrug! many of my pals & my mum get them from there too as there is not huge choice in our town.And yes i'm from Yorkshire too!
P.s they do say they are one cup bags but i've never tried getting two cups out of them i hope i'm not loosing my yorkshireness!

We use PG Tips Tbags, which we buy at Costco in huge bags which work out very reasonably priced. We could get two cups out of one bag if brewed in a pot - and we do like it pretty strong, but mostly we say 'blow the expense' and have one each. Heheheh! We are the last of the big spenders, here in God's own county.
We always take our own teabags on holiday, sad or what? My idea of Hell :eek:is Lipton Yellow Label, which is all you seem to find 'abroad'.
I would rather have a nice cup of tea than most other luxuries, and it would probably be the last thing I would give up in the interest of debt reduction!

it's not sad it's a damn necessity! No where does decent tea abroad, hell the French love our tea trust me, we're the masters at something at least.

if we go abroad for a week, 100-150 tea bags are packed(yes..you read that right...)
