I am converted to PG tips!

Twinings Every Day is my fave. I also like Yorkshire Gold.

And blend of both is nice too! (Normal tea with green tea)

Sainsburys Basics tea is by far the best tea I've tasted, and at 27p for 80 it's blooming good VFM. Buy a pack, try it, you've only lost 27p if you don't like it. If you do like it, you will saVe yourself £'s and£'s over the years.

Decided to chance 27p last week and bought a box of these teabags - surprised at just how good a cup of tea they make. Usually buy the big box of own brand teabags from Mr S or Mr T but after trying the basics teabags from Mr S have found that they make an equally good cup of tea for approx a third of the price.

I'm just the same, I buy PG if on special offer, but usually it's Tetley that comes first! PG Tips comes a close second.
I bought some that were on offer a while ago at Asda & you got a free Monkey mug that changes when you fill the cup lol.

.....and PG is on special offer of £4 for 240 which is 38p cheaper than the 160 option.

Love PG Tips, Clipper Teabags are even better, though cost a little more :-)

I often wonder why that tea is so cheap. I thought that maybe they put more dye or something in it to make it look stronger?

PG is my fave too. The only other one I drink on a regular basis is from aldi -The english breakfast tea at 99p for 80 bags.

We use the Asda ones in the red box. Can't stand PG!

Sainsbury's Basics is not at all bad - a bit weak, so I tend to use 3 in a pot rather than 2, but still cheap at the price.

My least favourite is Typhoo which always seems rather tasteless.

Special offers can be confusing, but I work it out like this: a bag of 80 "sandard" tea bags weighs 250g, and I reckon if you can get tea at around £1 per 250g then it's a good deal (Sainsbury's Basics is still miles cheaper though!).

So always look for the weight on the larger packs. Catering tea bags are usually smaller, but if you use a pot, you can always cut the tea bags open and use it like loose tea.
