Tetley Tea Bags

Well blow me away like a feather, how on earth can Stevie write a review about tea bags that isn’t as dull as dishwater?!? Well let me tell you – I don’t know how but I will try! Well first of all I am going to let you into a little secret – I never drank tea until a few years ago. This is because my dad decided to tell me when I was a nipper that tea was actually sawdust that was swept of factory floors. Now this was enough to put me off, and being young and thinking my dad was brilliant and believing every word he said, I never touched the stuff! That was until a few years ago, when my ... more

I don't run out of tea bags very often (except when my tea mad parents are visiting!), but today I found just a few left at the bottom of the caddy, so I put 'tea bags' on my shopping list, and looked for good old 'Tetley's' in the shop. Today's purchase was a bag of 160 teabags from Safeway supermarket at the price of £2.67.

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 diffuse just as quick and just as efficiently. For 80 tea bags you are looking at paying in the region of £1 depending on where you shop as prices do ... more
