Are you loyal to one tea brand?

My supermarket delivery substituted my usual Tetley's with Another Brand. I don't think I ever consciously decided that Tetley's was my brand - I've just always bought it. Just made myself a cup of tea and had to throw it away. Are you loyal to one brand of teabag? I don't think I realised I was until now...

Yorkshire Tea for me every time. Even take it to France with us ?

When you are feeling rich.....try a teapig . That is proper tea! They are in some Tescos or on line.

Got to be Twining or Clippers Earl Grey with a soupçon of skimmed milk.

grannyknot DD keeps Pukka teas at home and she gave me some last week - Three Ginger, Three Mint, and Lemon and Mandarin. They make a nice change from ordinary tea. I have to confess I'm not a big tea drinker - can't drink it first thing in the morning and never with milk or I throw up!

My husband makes me a pot of tea every morning and brings me a cup in bed. It's loose tea made in a teapot with a basket, it's a large leaf earl gray which he gets mail order in 1kg bags. Have you ever seen a kg of tea, it's like a cushion!
I never know when more tea is needed, I only ever use the tea in the caddie if I'm making more. There is a caddie spoon that lives in the tin and has done so for 20 odd years. I have a matching teapot, mug and teacosy! I think it would be fair to say I'm "brand loyal"!

My mother always bought Glengettie and, having tried several other brands over the years, I have gone back to it. It's fairly strong and I think you may only be able to buy it in Wales but I love it. I much prefer tea to coffee.

Having waxed lyrical about a cup of tea with a saucer and made in a pot earlier in the thread, I asked the lady who made it what tea she used. PG teabags was the answer. Obviously my taste buds are rubbish and it's all about presentation.blush
