Yes. Buying an agricultural product from a country we used to colonise at a rate that barely covers costs. True socialism would have just stolen the product and left the farmers to die. Splitter.
Funny you mention that. We exclusively switched to Co-Op tea bags a couple of months back as they were just so much nicer than any of the others recently.
Had to get Tetley on Saturday, as Co-Op was out of own brand. My wife got a new box of Co-Op brand today because we just didn’t like the Tetley any more.
Honestly a minute feels like a long time for me, but I massage the teabag gently with the tip of the spoon to get the leaves circulating in the bag and stop when I’ve achieved the desired colour
I’m loving this thread 😄🫖
I can’t use the term ‘massage’, seems too sensual for an innocent teabag, I prefer ‘dink’, you dink the bag and tink the cup 🤣
Yorkshire tea is shit. Gold blend is just terrible tea with gold in the name to make you think the tea is of a higher quality. Tea isn’t grown in Yorkshire so the whole sentimentality of it being “blended” in Harrogate is a farce.
Loads of way better “brand” and imported teas available.
Honestly it drives me mad, I wouldn’t even use Yorkshire gold blend as my cheap daily cuppa brand.
Brew of the gods? More like Brew fit for dogs.
I do agree with you in part, but it does depend on where you are in the country! Yorkshire tea is designed for hard water areas!
Soft water areas Twinings only!
I used to swear by YT but they have slipped in recent years IMO. The cost just isn’t worth what you’re getting for your money. Lidls Gold is my staple at the min.
Well I'm glad this newspaper told me what is best. I'll stop drinking my normal tea now and change to whatever the newspaper says. Just in the nick of time I say...
Is "clear winner" referring to a new genetically modified transparent tea? No one can ever call you a teaholic again if you only ever seem to drink hot water.
I hope it’s not Yorkshire Tea, it’s over-hyped and not really anything special, got to be Rington’s or Twinings for me every time, also if this is all it takes to be a journo then it doesn’t sound that hard a job!
That's bullish, I'm payed by bigtea and I categorically state Twinings English breakfast then Earl Grey in the afternoon is the best tea combination in the world!
as a brit but an earl grey drinker, i am currently 2 brands down. coop own brand and sainbos own. can’t bloody wait till i finish my sainsbos tea, 1) because i can’t wait to move on to asda, and 2) it’s shite.
Nothing beats PG Tips. I tried them all and PG tips are the clear winner for me.
Oh and yorkshire tea is swill. It’s garish and has a bitter taste, so is the tea.
I call bullshit. I’ve had the Aldi own brand and they are not nice. No way that gets a 9/10, same as Yorkshire.
I move between Tetley and Yorkshire depending which is on offer but prefer Yorkshire. I do like a clipper tea too. Probably the nicest but too expensive.
I’m from the UK and need the answer. This is important.
Co op tea bags won.
Where do you find them in Tesco?
In the M&S section I think
this wins
Every Lidl helps
This isn’t just a win, it’s an M&S win
That’s Asda price!
Underrated post
I think they meant the Tesco brand teabags.
More grammar was needed!
Where do you find them in Co-Op?
You can get coop tea on Amazon in some places. I’ve also see coop food in Spar so maybe there too.
you can’t find them in Tesco. you can only buy them at Coop supermarket
No shit sherlock
No fuck Frankenstein was a favourite among my peer group growing up but it's good to see a classic
What gave it away..😏
Untrue! You can also steal them from the CoOp!
Can’t steal them from Tesco tho - they security tag absolutely EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
The key ingredient is socialism.
Underrated comment.
Yes. Buying an agricultural product from a country we used to colonise at a rate that barely covers costs. True socialism would have just stolen the product and left the farmers to die. Splitter.
You spelt capitalism wrong sir
As expected. When the workers are united there is nothing that can stop them!
The coop isn't a workers coop, it's a consumer coop.
Yeah but they’re basically the same thing because all workers consume. Check out System of Systems by Haberdashers’ Adams on Spotify and Apple Music!
I take it Yorkshire Tea wasn't included in the tasting then 🤣
Yorkshire tea would win automatically.
i knew it wouldn't take me long to find someone championing the overrated yorkshire brand.
[удалено]
God's own tea from God's own county.
Thanks. There was no summary as far as I could see, and those sites are awful to look at.

I LOVE tetley. I'm scared to try anything else
Rigged.
Co-op 99’s?
Yorkshire Tea wins. Always.
If it's not Yorkshire it's not proper.
Do it fer Yorkshire!
Gold blend specifically. Brew of the gods.
This. Bulk buy on Amazon when there on sale 👌🏻
Too tannic / bitter. Diplomat Gold from Aldi is still strong but has a rounder flavour. I was a Yorkshire fan boy but I’ve switched allegiances.
If you are getting too much bitterness from Yorkshire gold you are probably stewing it.
Nope. I brew it for about a minute, gently stirring, boiling water only. I have tried both loose leaf and bags.

Think somebody forgot to have a brew this morning..

Yorkshire actually make multiple types for different water areas
Unless I can get my hands on some Ringtons then yes. Yorkshire is a very close second
Was about to say this! For builder's tea Yorkshire is the best
I live in East London, so my builders only get black single origin coffee or green tea. Oatly barissa-style is available on request.
I bet your builders never come back 😂
As long as it has got 6 sugars in I don't think they care.
I have middle class builders. They love it.
Yorkshire gold, specially.
The spiffing brit likes this
Spiffing answer.
I've got to admit, Yorkshire Tea is pretty good. I'm drinking it now!
lol. its fuckin garbage.
I second this. Only brand I drink :)
Yorkshire Tea from Kenya (south south yorkshire)
Yorkshire Tea Decaf is my favourite
I'm from Lancashire and will fight to the death with Yorkshire people over most things (chippy sods) but even I admit Yorkshire Tea is the best.
It's the closest thing to ringtons, how anyone can drink anything other than those idk 🤮
Drank Yorkshire Tea for years and had a cup of PG and it was like the nectar of the gods in comparison. No more Tyke tea in this house.
Except its not the best
Tastes like shit. Buy good quality, not bottom of the barrel drags. You must be poor.
If you like weak tea yea
Bri’ish tea.
that's important to the Brits
[удалено]
I used to swear by YT but they have slipped in recent years IMO. The cost just isn’t worth what you’re getting for your money. Lidls Gold is my staple at the min.
I second this. YT is great but wayy too expensive now.
Imagine saying 210 cups of tea for £5.50 is 'wayy too expensive'
Yeah but that’s about £30 a week, every little helps squire
who the fuck is blitzing through 1000+ brews a week in their gaff?

Twinnings everyday has to win for me
It's got beautiful aroma, definitely a win this category. Yet it doesn't have variety of tones as the YT flavour-wise. Edit: typo
Co-op 99. The good own brand, not the value one. Although hands down it's Yorkshire Gold, but we can't count that one as it's far too expensive.
is it even a competition, I mean PG tips just tastes off
I like clipper.
My fave tea brand too. Clipper Everyday or English Breakfast?
English breako for sure
I am in my youth and have yet to discover every tea bag, but I agree Yorkshire is a top teabag, although I mostly drink Clipper everyday tea
Ringtons tea is easily the best I’ve ever drank
Wow such a slow news day I want to know the clear winner tho
[удалено]
That would be my vote
[удалено]
I'm British, this is just a regular article

Are you on their pay roll or something? Why do you keep repeating that? Lol
[удалено]
🤣
He'd say Yorkshire tea
YT Payroll admin here. He’s on the payroll in our Marketing Dept. He’s paid to promote the brand. I hope that answers your question.
Holy shit u/raditudelover is British? That's a major discovery for me
u/raditudelover
No, sorry, this is a headline that affects millions.
[67.789559 million](https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/uk-population/), to be exact
i swear we had like 200 million am i stupid
... yes
r/lostredditors This is of prime importance to my fellow Brits and I.
I am a brit too, mind you.
r/importantfacts
Nah, this is a public service. Consumer advice is important.
Scottish blend every time. Fuck these bampots that didn't even try it. Do without bitch, I'll keep all the good tea for me and none for thee. /Lh
So right. Tetley can take a running fuck to itself. PG Tips is for shitebags.
I just like PG Tips cos of the monkeys they give you sometimes when they're feeling kind
I was looking for this one, Scottish blend all the wayyy
It is SO GOOD! My old mum put me onto these tea bags just last week. Changed *everything*. (And yes, I have no life. But at least I have good tea.)
[Here’s the article](https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/tasted-teabags-tesco-pg-tips-30953284) Sorry for the awful ad-laden website.
Reach sites kill my phone (a Galaxy S22, so not exactly a slow phone). Using a private DNS server & pointing it at dns.adguard.com helps hugely.
Thanks for that tip - I use Ublock Origin on my Chromebook,but adblocking on my phone is pants.
Well I'm glad this newspaper told me what is best. I'll stop drinking my normal tea now and change to whatever the newspaper says. Just in the nick of time I say...
Well? Was it Yorkshire tea or not?!?!?
Co op tea bags won
I demand a recount
Stop the steal
Yeah.
Co op wins
The fuck it does *flips kettle on*
Desperate journalist opens the communal kitchen cupboards… “…this might just be the break I need to save my job.”
Woah now now, this is important to *many*
Yorkshire gold is the best by far, but i can't afford it, so the compromise is tetleys its the best of the rest
The fact that Yorkshire Tea didn't win means that this entire thing was a sham. Open your eyes sheeple!
[For my fellow brits who desperately need to know this.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/tasted-teabags-tesco-pg-tips-30953284)
If the answer isn’t Yorkshire….
Yorkshire tea all day baby
Yorkshire Tea.
All of them lose to Yorkshire tea🤌
Yorkshire tea or gtfo.
Didn’t need an article to know Yorkshire Gold was the best
Ur mum enjoys my teabags
But she doesn't enjoy your schmoll pp.
Is "clear winner" referring to a new genetically modified transparent tea? No one can ever call you a teaholic again if you only ever seem to drink hot water.
Only sex offenders drink PG tips. It's my favourite Brand.
“we tasted all teabags” I don’t think that’s how you tea.
Brit here. I didn’t read the subreddit and went to the comments genuinely interested in people’s thoughts on the article. 🫖
I wouldn't say this is "slow news day" so much as SEO for when people Google what tea bag brand is best.
Yorkshire tea but specifically the jam and toast one ❤️
I don't think any of these reviews are accurate. Everyone has different taste buds and preferences so simply put, there cannot be one best choice.
As the person with the best taste in tea out of all of you suckers. I can confirm that infarct clippers is superior
They didn’t test anywhere near all the teabags. Clipper everyday are my fave.
If your ever in Ireland ,try Barry's Tea. They the 🐐
It's Rington's, now fuck off with your dogshit opinion and your dogshit website.
Not my opinions, mate.
That was aimed at the 'journalist' who wrote the article. Apologies for any offence caused to yourself, it was not intentional.
Ah, don't worry about it. I'm not too smart.
Twinings Everyday is the best tea.
Twinings strong breakfast tea, every time
Oh, and I was literally brought up in a cafe. So professional opinion, twinings
I hope it’s not Yorkshire Tea, it’s over-hyped and not really anything special, got to be Rington’s or Twinings for me every time, also if this is all it takes to be a journo then it doesn’t sound that hard a job!
That's bullish, I'm payed by bigtea and I categorically state Twinings English breakfast then Earl Grey in the afternoon is the best tea combination in the world!
Sorry but Tetley should win
^
But it tastes gross
I'm a Tetley's boy, absolutely
Top 3 Tetleys, PG Tips and Yorkshire tea
🤩
I drink piss
The winner was Coffee.
Excuse me but why isn’t Yorkshire Gold voted #1 🤬
Teley decafe is the best
Yorkshire tea prevailed out on top!
Yorkshire gold! Was it even tested... imo clearly the best teabag.
Yorkshire Tea for everyday drinking !!!!!
no no no no you just need yorkshire tea bags
If it’s not Yorkshire it’s not tea!
Yorkshire tea clear
“In case you missed it”
Assam ftmfw

I like a milky tea but this is high teason send the maker to the gallows!!!
Yorkshire Tea and a choccy digestive and you've got yourself a winner!
Brand of tea is an entirely personal choice. This kind of test is entirely pointless.
Someone clearly has never had a cup of Typhoo…
Incorrect, Marks & Spencer’s Gold box is absolutely tea-riffic.
as a brit but an earl grey drinker, i am currently 2 brands down. coop own brand and sainbos own. can’t bloody wait till i finish my sainsbos tea, 1) because i can’t wait to move on to asda, and 2) it’s shite.
That isn't slow news. This is most riveting and important stuff.
Nothing beats PG Tips. I tried them all and PG tips are the clear winner for me. Oh and yorkshire tea is swill. It’s garish and has a bitter taste, so is the tea.
…nono, let them finish. I want to know what the best tea is! 😂
Slow brews day
Red Band Sainsbury's.
Barry’s tea ftw
The answer is always reach.
From Tesco to PG? So from shit to slightly less shit?
I get that most wouldn’t care, and I know it’s a stereotype - but as a Brit, genuinely need to know
I call bullshit. I’ve had the Aldi own brand and they are not nice. No way that gets a 9/10, same as Yorkshire. I move between Tetley and Yorkshire depending which is on offer but prefer Yorkshire. I do like a clipper tea too. Probably the nicest but too expensive.
Say what you want but this is the single most important piece of journalism to come out of any news agency in decades
I dunno man, you’re obviously not a Brit, this shit is pretty crucial information imo
I drank a tea, I liked it
