Ahh.... A nice cuppa char. Thats what my mum told me would solve any problem in the world. And I think she's right. Have any of you ever noticed that whenever something bad happens on telly, you always get someone saying 'I'll go and put the kettle on shall I?'. And do you know what they're making? Typhoo tea. Yes, it has to be the pick of the bunch Typhoo, it's just the right amount of tea in those teabags, so the tea isn't too strong, and isn't too weak. It's just right. And now Typhoo have come up with a decaffeinated version, well thats just even better. I'm partial to a nice cuppa in bed ... more

After drinking a lot of tea and coffee thought-out my day, I have noticed I am becoming quite dependent of the good old caffeine. I started getting headaches in the morning that would not shift until I had a mug or two of tea. So I thought enough’s enough. This can’t go on.

I like the idea of the foil packets because the tea bags seem to last me quite some time, and by the time I have finished the first packet, the next bag will still be fresh. The ... more

I've just written an e-mail to Typhoo to complain about the sea-change they've made to what was an excellent product we'd bought since the very first days they appeared on the shelves - after putting the ubiquitous "New & Improved" tag on the packet. What a joke. From being a refreshing and light bright orangey-brown tea, with a real "pick-me-up" result despite the relative lack of caffeine, it's become a dull and muddy mink-brown, bitter-sour affair that tastes like dishwater (honestly!), and mostly ends up being chucked away - as has the remainder of the box now. Unfortunately, the taste ... more
