What brand makes good tea, in your opinion? (I feel like I should push my box of PG Tips into the back of the kitchen cabinet. I'm American and drink a lot of matcha green tea so what do I know.)

Yorkshire Gold is pretty epic!

I think it's generally accepted that Yorkshire Tea is the best of the regular, cheap teabag teas.

Of course now I've said that out loud it'll probably start world war 3, but they're just mad I'm right.

Thank you! I'll hunt for it here at one of the British expat shops.

Where I live there are a couple of tea blenders that make various different loose leaf offerings.

You can get good loose leaf on amazon too from (e.g.) teapigs or whittard.

In my experience, the trick with loose leaf is to not to get the ones that have been ground too finely, as they make a too strong brew and the bits can pass through the filter leaving you with a dusty cuppa.

I will admit though... sometimes I want a quick tea, and I may just make a pg tips... not as good, but less faff than getting the tea pot ready etc
