4.0 out of 5 stars A fine and sturdy everyday tea, October 31, 2008

By	Gary Coffrin (San Jose, California, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a very drinkable blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan black teas from PG Tips, one of the UK's most popular brands. Although some California grocery stores (and Cost Plus World Market) stock this tea, I had not tried it until reading helpful reviews on Amazon.

Each PG Tips bag weighs 38 percent than the Lipton bag (that is available in the USA). As expected, PG Tips makes a stronger brew. Each PG Tips bag has so much tea that I can easily make a 12 ounce mug with a single bag. I drink my tea black, but PG Tips is clearly robust enough to maintain character with milk or sweetener.

PG Tips is a sturdy, straight-ahead blend with more strength than Lipton's. It is a caffeine-rich tea - in part because each bag has more tea than other brands.

PG Tips uses a pyramid shaped bag that allows more room for tea leaves to expand while steeping. Does it make better tea? I don't know, but it is a point of differentiation.

HINT: PG Tips also makes a Special Blend black tea that is only slightly more expensive in stores. I much prefer the Special Blend to their regular black tea. The PG Tips Special Blend is a very hardy and rich breakfast tea. The Special Blend is more sensitive to longer steeping times (I usually steep mine less than 3 minutes), but I find the taste more complex and satisfying.

Cognoscenti prefer loose tea. Tea bags contain the less expensive "fannings" or "dust," remains from processing loose leaf tea. And with some others brands of tea (not PG Tips), many people can taste the paper used in the bag.

If you sometimes appreciate the convenience of bags, I recommend trying PG Tips as a sturdy everyday tea. And, I more strongly recommend their Special Blend as a hardy and rich breakfast tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all around tea, June 7, 2007

By	Jane "Bibliophile" (Laguna Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

We drink a lot of tea in this house, and after trying many other basic black teas have settled on this as the best one all around. For the first pot in the morning to the iced tea later in the day, this is the one we all (four tea-drinkers) prefer.

It is robust without being bitter, does not develop a stewed flavor after sitting in the pot for an hour or so, and is very even in quality from batch to batch.

By	Faith V. Wheatley "Faith Wheatley , mother, g... (English transplant in Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tea is probably the best known tea in the UK. It's in every home. Not fancy but GOOD TEA. It's orange Pekoe black tea if you're a connoisseur! At last the USA is discovering tea!
