Ah'll mek thee t' best brew this side o' Pennines.

Advantages: Great tasting, iconic brew.
Disadvantages: Not yet Fairtrade, not the cheapest cuppa either.

...of delight, otherwise known as Yorkshire Tea. And how can you not notice the Yorkshire Tea box? Behind the bold red, black and white logo is depicted the most charming nostalgia-fest I can imagine, especially as a Yorkshire lad myself: rolling hills with vast fields divided by dry-stone walls, a healthy smattering of sheep, a couple of tumbledown cottages; plumes of smoke lazily rising from their chimneys and a village church. Personally, I am hoping ...
...As a company too, Yorkshire Tea (part of Taylors of Harrogate) is appealing. While not carrying the Fairtrade logo, they adhere to ethical policies of fair remuneration for tea growers and donate substantially to the Trees for Life Fund, which undertakes tree planting and community projects in the UK and abroad. So that’s the guilt taken out of your cup! Price-wise, Yorkshire tea sits somewhere in the middle of the range; you'll pay around £2 for ...

Review of Yorkshire Tea

The perfect tea for every morning

Advantages: excellent aroma, recreative effect, good packing
Disadvantages: very strong for people who can't sleep

I know the Twinings English Tea for a long time. I the past, it was not possible to find Twinings in the Bulgarian market. We were happy to have Twinings Tea like a gift from England and we kept it for special occasions. Aroma The Twinings Tea has very good, not strong aroma. This is a pure tea - it is not mixed with other herbs or aromas and this is the classic aroma of the high quality tea. You can’t make a mistake that this is the pure ...
...This is taste the real tea - unostentatious. Don't leave the bags too long in the water because it becomes very astringent. If you like, you may add sugar and lemon or milk. I recommend you that you try the pure tea. Recreational effect Especially for me the tea has big recreational effect and that's because I can't drink it in the evening. For breakfast - it is a perfect start of your day. Packing The tea bags are in a beautiful box. ...

Review of Twinings English Breakfast Tea Bags

a cuppa cha for everyday

Advantages: Its just a nice drinkable breakfast tea!
Disadvantages: Its pretty much the same as normal tea!

TWININGS EVERYDAY TEA BAGS Twininges Everyday Tea is available in all good supermarkets, and varies in price- I got a 80 bag box for £1 from Asda a couple of weeks ago, which I thought was quite cheap really, so I thought I'd try it, I normally just go for the Asda Branded Tea (the one in the blue box??!) but as this was the same price, I thought I'd give it a go. I'd seen all the adverts and I like tea so I thought it would be a good buy. ...
...etc. But to be honest Twinings Everyday tea just tastes exactly like normal tea!! Twinings Everyday is normal "breakfast tea", its not Earl Grey, its nothing weird, just plain tea! :-D I have never understood why anybody would want any more from their tea than a nice hot drink, Earl Grey just makes me feel sick, so I relish in a yummy plain Breakfast Tea :-D If you can get Twinings for cheap like I did then yes buy it, but to be honest with you, ...

Review of Twinings Everyday Tea Bags

I'm just trying to brew a better cuppa ... My name is Earl !

Advantages: A refreshing and delicate tea that is officially endorsed by the Earl Grey family !
Disadvantages: None really ... unless you try it and don;t like the taste !

...and a lovely cup of Twinings English Breakfast Tea usually does the trick. After 9.00am, it's coffee all the way to the "wee small hours" for me. Recently, however, I decided that I would start to drink less coffee and more tea so decided to try something a little different ... I tried a few different brands and flavours ... and whilst some were quite nice others tasted like I had found an odd sock under the sofa and simply added hot water !!!!! ...
...the end I opted for Twinings as their English Breakfast Tea is something I enjoy every morning. I also chose this brand as the box looked quite posh ... it was black with a luxurious looking gold band and a picture of some rather noble looking dude who I assumed was Thomas Twining !!! ~~~ My name is Earl ~~~ Back at home I decided to treat myself to a "proper" cup of tea and located the tea pot ... and whilst waiting for the kettle to boil ...

Review of Twinings Earl Grey Tea

Tetley - Just my Cup of Tea

Advantages: Superb flavour. Simple and effective branding.
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than I'd like.

...the forerunners in the market, Tetley has for generations proven itself to be a prominent company, producing high quality tea for millions of people each day. When it comes to hot beverages, especially tea, I'm not all that fussed. To me they all taste the same virtually. But Tetley stands out above the rest. Their circular tea bag, infused with the boiling water poured from my kettle, producing a whirlpool of flavour and vibrance within my cup. ...
...poor student), though my rather tight budget perhaps exacerbates this factor a little too much. On the whole, Tetley tea is the perfect accompaniment to a nice biscuit, cake, scone or indeed anything you desire. Indeed, where would Britain be without its beloved tea? I dread to think. ...
