Jaysus. I work hard and appreciate what I thought was a good cuppa. All of that has been shattered. Off down Waitrose to seek out some proper stuff. Best call the bank manager.

It was eye opening.
We have a local brand up here called Ringtons which I think is a bit more kosher overall.
There’s a company called Pumphrey’s which does coffee and tea as well which is a long established local firm . Presumably Birmingham has something similar?

My Nilgiri is ethical
I cannot express, just how excited I am to bring you these Nilgiri All Day Tea Bags. This tea represents a journey, that I am proud to be a part of. This tea is so important to me and each time you put the kettle on for a brew and dunk your bag, this is what you are supporting and how we got to this point.
Firstly, Indian Tea Garden owners in the south, typically make a pittance. The tea (in each bag) has been selectively hand-picked and “we” have paid between 7 and 10 times the going rate for tea that has been picked to perfection and is typically delivered on foot at the tea studio for preparation. This tea is then withered and oxidised and made into a black tea, that we know as Black Pearl. The Studio is a woman-first, innovative, empowered workplace. This fantastic Tea is then shipped to us in the sleepy town of Ross on Wye.

£5 for 160 Clipper fairtrade organic, reduced from £7.50.
3.12p a cup for peace of mind I suppose, although I couldve just been duped by an AI YouTube video. I dunno.

Clipper Tea for me - particularly Assam.
Re Glengettie, weren't/aren't they owned by Typhoo, and as such tricky to get hold of?
No Idea. My granny used to drink it and I always loved it. Probably nothing like what I drank back then. Must be about 55 years ago!

Agreed, it’s awful stuff.

Switched from PG Tips to Sainsbury's own red label tea bags, they brew a good strong mug of tea 😋

Mario kempes 78Barry's or Yorkshire?
Ive recently discovered Barry's and gotta say it tops the charts for me just over Yorkshire.
3:15pm Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea for me.
Not cheap cos it’s imported from Taiwan but I’m a huge fan.

newblueTamRasputinEarl Grey,
No milk, no sugar.
Same here - the only tea that I drink these days. Very refreshing. In my posher days, I took Mrs Tam for tea at The Ritz - I have never tasted a finer cup of Earl Grey than that. It was almost worth the money!
Mrs Tam or the Earl Grey? There’s a Nelson’s column thing to Earl Grey to commemorate the great reform act in Newcastle. If any of you are ever in Northumberland I recommend a visit to Howick, it’s beautiful and just off the coast. The family never made a penny from Earl Grey tea, surprising for the aristocracy to miss out on a few quid.
The Earl Grey, of course. Sorry, I mean Mrs Tam. Obviously. :-)
I've never seen the statue, but it looks pretty imposing from the photos that I've seen. I don't know Northumberland all that well, but lots of it looks beautiful. I did have a customer in Wooler once, and my brother in law lives betwen Otterburn and Rothbury, which is a good enough reason not to visit.
Just got back from walkies with our Frankie the Staffy, and we're just sitting down with a cup of Earl Grey and a Dentastik.

I put a slice of lemon with it, which he's not keen on. The Dentastik is lovely, but I've begun to have erotic thoughts about our postman's leg. Mind you, I have done for years.
