  • I used to drink PG Tips until I realised how much I was paying. I now drink the Sainsbury's basics ones, and my friend who used to say how nice my PG Tips tea was told me my tea had got even better! They are Fair Trade as well (admittedly not a reason behind my decision!!)
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

  • Tesco Finest Assam tea, we even pack a box when going to the US! Like the TTD ones above, not the cheapest but always gets drunk!

    Just tried Sainsburys basic tea bags. They were so bad i tipped my cup away and the wife agreed with me. This is not tea its garbage.
    Sticking to Yorkshire or sainsburys red label.

    I love Sainsburys basics tea bags. Asdas are horrible, drunk one cuppa and threw the rest away!

    Sainsbury's basic teabags are 29p for 80 & are also fairtrade, taste ok but a bit weak

    Sainsbury's basic are the best of the basic ones IMHO. Co=op are very good too.......my family can't tell the difference and never comment. Even my snobby sister who is married to a sargeant in the army with no money worries has started to buy them.
  • I have to say i do love the twinings in a yellow box too, everyday I think they are called.......only buy on offer though.
