I am converted to PG tips!

I love a nice cup of tea. Strong tea. None of this wafting the tea bag over the cup so it still looks like milk tea.

Having recently moved to a hard water area we discovered using our normal brand (Twinings) the tea tasted awful, bathwater would have been better.

I had thought that I would never find a satisfactory strong cuppa again. Then I discovered it while drinking tea with a neighbour.

It's so good that even though someone suggested that we get a water filter and go back to twinings I haven't bothered! It really is the tea for hard water areas. :j

Just had to let it out! Lol.

    I love PG tips (and live in a hard water area too) the other one too look out for if you like a nice strong cuppa is Yorkshire tea - they even do one for hard water.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Yorkshire Tea also do a tea for hard water areas.
  • Happy for you!
    I used to love a strong cup of PG Tips but since they brought out the "strong" version think the normal has been weakened, so am intrigued that you find it strong enough
    I just don't enjoy tea now :(

    PG Tips or munkey tay as they call it in the Black Country. Best tea by far.
  • I used to be addicted to PG Tips too but discovered Ringtons last year! It's a small family company established 1907, ethical and if you are lucky enough to live near an office will deliver free in their black & gold vans. Good biscuits too..... but that's another topic.

    Take out a 2nd mortgage in order to buy it.

    I looked for more t bags at Asda this weekend and was surprised at the high cost they now are, pg tips included.

    I think I'll wait a few weeks until the "rollback" appears :)

    Tea on its own is fine. Tea and cow juice is 'gusting.
    The man without a signature.
  • I love PG and was lucky enough to get given most of a large box recently by my mother in law who tried it and hated it because she thought it was too strong :T:
