Product Description

Product Description

UK's no. 1 tea. Better taste, free flow bag. With PG, you've not only got a tasty cuppa, but a healthier diet brewing! Caffeine in tea is relatively low, almost half as much caffeine as coffee, and moderate amounts of tea (6 cups/day) do not show adverse effects on the body. What's more, PG contains antioxidants (called flavonoids). You get them in fruit and vegetables and they're really good for you. So sit back and enjoy your PG moment! PG Tips, made with plantation fresh tips, is 100% natural. We only use the top two leaves and a bud, known as the tips, for a great tasting cuppa! Made in England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Briton's #1 Tea - PG Tips, October 22, 2007

By	Michael - "the Tea Lover" - See all my reviews

The folks in the United Kingdom drink more PG Tips tea than any other brand, and perhaps after you try it; it will be your #1 choice, too! (By the way, the folks in Ireland drink more tea per person than in any other country.)

PG Tips Tea and PG Tips Special Blend Tea is our home's standard tea. There are a few specialty retailers in the USA that now offer the PG Tips Special Blend Tea and hopefully Amazon will do so soon.

In the 1930s (the pre-digestive era in history) this tea was introduced by the name "Pre-Gest-Tee" suggesting the tea could be consumed before food was eaten, but it was the grocers who gave it the abbreviation of "PG" - and the company added "tips" (since the company uses only the best part of the tea plant, the two top leaves and bud of the tea plant to make the tea).

Many black teas sold in the USA are graded the basic medium grade Orange Pekoe (generally the tea leaves below the top two and bud), which is one of the reasons PG Tips gets higher reviews than most other teas. PG Tips also uses their pyramid tea bag that allows ample room for the tea to expand as it is infused. Additionally, in my opinion, PG Tips blends only two blends, rather than blending a wide assortment, thus becoming really good at what they do.

Here at Amazon PG Tips is priced at just over a nickel a tea bag (a good value for an imported product) when you order the 240 count boxes in a set of two, and even less expensive in the higher volumes. PG Tips makes wonderful ice tea too, and that's good news since Americans drink about 80% of their tea as iced tea and only 20% as hot tea. Worldwide more hot tea is consumed than iced tea, and worldwide tea is the most consumed beverage (next to water), while in the USA it is the sixth most consumed beverage (next to water).

A very good question to ponder is "Why this is?"

Drinking an adequate amount of tea daily is now being considered to be very good for one's health, and it is much more enjoyable to drink a really good cuppa (cup of tea), especially at the nominal cost of about a nickel a cup when compared to one of those gourmet coffee places who charge upwards of four to five dollars for a large cup of coffee.

When we have a guest in our home we always offer them a PG Tips cuppa, and they always say they have never tasted a tea this good - thus, I rate it 5 stars for its quality and very nominal price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cuppa, July 27, 2007

By	Darren Sillett (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been drinking PG Tips for over thirty years and was delighted when Amazon started carrying it. Both the price point and quantity are much better than the other alternatives of acquiring this brand either locally or online.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best for a reason, April 29, 2008

By	Bradley B (Los Angeles CA) - See all my reviews

PG tips is #1 for a reason. Always consistent, superior water flow through bags, and great black or with milk and sugar. Also makes a fantastic iced tea on hot summer days.
