PG Tips

My favorite go-to tea

Added a sprinkle of Scottish Breakfast from English Tea Store to round out the flavor. Strong and delicious.

It’s pretty much the workhorse of black teas: nothing remarkable, but consistent every time. It’s my fall-back tea for when I need a morning kick.

The standard tea for the English cuppa. It’s as-advertised – reliable and fine. Nothing special, maybe, but never awful, either.

Is there any other tea? Well yes but this makes a fine cuppa

PG Tips is a great tea with no bitter taste.It does not compete with the taste of the food but compliments any type of food or just by itself.I take it to work every morning!

My daily tea. Went to England and have been buying it from World Market ever since.

Typical cuppa. Second of the day due to being at work.

I wish I had not read the reviews of this cuppa tea. It seems to be quite a few people’s favorite without exaggeration. Just looking at the color and the suggestion brewing times, I sense that this one is made for milk and sugar. I picked it up at World Market, after a friend who visits family in the UK highly recommended it. At the store I am usually a Twinings man, still missing the good ole Russian Caravan that is no longer available in the states. So I picked it up 2 pyramids, 3 minutes, at boiling, with a teaspoon of Stevia.

Oh yeah, this is what I would call an Orwellian cup of tea. First off, strong and bitter, begs milk and even more sugar. It is not a deep or a complex taste at all, but it is what people say, a very good and basic tea. It does have a ‘watery space’ that sometimes happens with some teas. But it is a good taste and I would say the closest thing I have had to coffee in a tea- that same color, bitterness, and presence as the bean counterpart.

Will this be, as so many people on here call it, my everyday tea? The ease of purchase, strong taste and color make that a possibility. However, a drop of milk or two will decide everything.

Note: I do admit, this tea would make a great iced tea.

Maybe slightly better than the teas you get served on an airplane, PG Tips offers the standard CTC tea. Kinda hard to mess up.

Best with milk and sugar.

For this Yank’s money, it’s hard to beat any of the PG Tips teas and their Scottish Blend is no exception. Scottish Blend works wonderfully with the water here in Pacific Grove, CA. Bold, black but never bitter, Scottish Blend paints a wicked grin on me mug and puts the ‘PG’ in Pacific Grove!
