Tetley Tea Bag

This is my go to tea, is a mild basic english breakfast tea, but the quality is really good.

classic, father of the tea bags, 10/10, hands down best guy.

The tea I drink most often at university due to cost considerations. It’s a good trade-off, tasty and soothing enough to suit a light wallet.

this is my bagged store brand of choice.. To me it makes a fine cuppa and it is good on cold days and such.. It is not as good as a lot of loose leaf teas I have tried or own but. its easy and not fussy.

‘Twas a fine black tea! Suiting my very English habit of having milk and sugar in the tea, it was good at any time of the day. The leaves in the bags where grouned to a fine powder, so fine that some of it would often escape the bag whilst steeping! I suspect it would be even better with less ground leaves, but that doesn’t really matter. A final downside is the fact that having it in the evening would leave you awake at midnight – not so useful for me personaly. If done how I make it, it would make a good gateway into tea from coffee.

This is my standard tea (usually). It’s a alright tea to wake me up in the morning

I’ve been drinking a cup of this every morning lately, mostly because it’s always there. Not bad, a bit weak and astringent. Really though, you can’t get much more run of the mill then Tetley, so it’s hard to complain; when approached with lax standards, it’s never a let-down. And for what it’s worth, It ALMOST wakes you up- two cups are better than one.

Since I had a whole box of 100 just laying around in the cabinet I though to myself “Eh, Why the hell not.” Also, I have my teapot soaking so I couldn’t make a good cup of something. I boiled up 8oz of water and put the teabag into the teacup. Poured the water over and let it steep for 2 minutes. Then took the teabag out and disposed of it. Infused up somewhat dark, quite darker than Twinnings English Breakfast

The results are nothing special. Seems to me like your run-of-the-mill ordinary supermarket bag tea. No real flavor to it other than some astringency and bitterness. Just taste like hot water to me really. Although it is better than anything Lipton produces. (Well maybe not anything but you get my point)

This probaly has nothing to do with the tea but while drinking it made my throat feel ticklish, not in the good way. And I was coughing quite a bit.

A great all round tea, especially good in the morning as its easy to make. A family favourite.

This is a ‘standard’ tea, I’m sure there are a lot of different leaves contained in it but its an average brew. Short brewing time, short drinking time and cuppa if your short of time.

As for taste well its nothing to rave about but I wouldn’t turn it down if someone was making. I’m sure we’ve all had Tetleys’ at some point, a reliable go-to tea. For me though has to be piping hot with milk.

This tea is pretty good but a bit bitter.

Good tea to have with breakfast when you’re still to tired to appreciate what you’re drinking. Perfect tea for anytime of day.

7.5/10

It’s what I drink at work – acceptable. Milk a necessity and no sugar.

I have yet to drink a cup of this brand that’s actually GOOD.

It wasn’t the finest cup of tea I’d ever made, but by God, it was still fucking good.

cuppa by the fire

was about average, nothing special about this tea.
