...************* Why the Tetley brand is the brand for me *******
I do not buy any other tea brand now, because I have become very fond of the lovely smooth and mellow flavour that Tetley provides. My particular taste in tea is for a refreshing drink. I can not stand strong tea. Some brands I find leave a bitter aftertaste in the back of the throat, whereas Tetley is much milder. *********** Why tea bags as opposed to loose tea? **************

The pack also gives information of where and how to contact them, in great detail. And also to store in a cool, dry place.
The tea bags are also available in quantities of 40, 80, 240, or the drawstring variety, which I have not tried. There is a wealth of information on the Tetley website, again highlighting those 'health benefits', info on the products, etc. You can even view the recent TV adverts there. ...

Tetley Teabags....
Tetley tea bags are of good value for what you are actually getting. They are slightly cheaper than brands such as PG or Twinings but the taste in my opinion is not overly different. Tetley bags are round to look at and of course this is different from the two other brands I mentioned before. PG claim that their pyramid tea bags help to diffuse the tes quicker and more efficiently but I feel Tetley teabags make the tea leaves ... ...The taste of Tetley tea is rather nice and far better than shops own brand tea. I do have to have either sugar or sweetener in my tea and this I suppose hides some of the actual tea taste. However I do like a good cup of strong tea and to be honest I am not overly bothered what make it is. I tend to buy whichever brand is on offer at the time I go shopping.
Tetley are a good make however and I think they deserve a four star rating and a RECOMMENDATION. ...

Advantages: Freeze Dried is quicker but bags are better flavour overall Disadvantages: Freeze dried are a lot more expensive than bags
...recently bought a jar of Tetley Freeze Dried tea, as I thought it would come in handy for the times I had no tea bags left. I thought that this would be a good experiment to test something that I really enjoy.
A jar of freeze-dried tea contains 80 cups of tea 1 teaspoon per cup! It looks a lot like coffee but has a distinct smell that is not at all pleasant, very musty and is slightly lighter than your average coffee.
Now this is the easy a bit ... ...I know I enjoy Tetley tea bags so I started with that so as not to mar my judgement by tasting the new contender first.

Advantages: Tasty, refreshing, genuinely doing you some good. Disadvantages: None, unless you really do not like tea.
...sold in large quantities by Tetley and PG is the prevailing choice of us UK folk.
A good cup of Tetley (my preferred brand and focus of the writing here) is made by the bag. One bag per mug is required, and you should add freshly drawn and boiled water directly onto the bag. The drink one then makes is totally 'to taste'. Ideally, for me anyway, the water should be left for around 2 minutes to allow the flavour to infuse fully into the water. This ... ...unique taste.
For me, Tetley is slightly astringent (drying) and warming in the first instance. It has a real clean and slightly earthy aroma, and a full flavour. The taste finishes off to be astringent again, and leaves a really nice 'tea' taste. Rather like a good red wine, Tetley is full bodied. I prefer Tetley to PG for example, as I find PG to not be as strong in the flavour department.
Coming back to health, tea is a very healthy drink, especially ...

It is a mellow, comfortable, soothing taste that stays with you, and that no other tea can produce, a richness that you recognise, a warmth inside, a taste that is difficult to describe, but one that you know is familiar and perhaps even comforting.
