NorthernStar   11 #14 Posted March 31, 2013 A recent discovery of mine was Builders Tea, I bought it because the slogans and images on the box made me laugh, I honestly thought it would be crap but it really does make a nice, strong cuppa. 'This country wasn't built on camomile'  and  'Tested on real builders'  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   206 #15 Posted March 31, 2013 Try filtering your water, it makes a difference.  And how old is your kettle? It could be that its not boiling the water fully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mafya   220 #16 Posted March 31, 2013 i have noticed over the past few months that i cannot get a decent cuppa from my favourite tetley tea bags,i have used these for years&they have always made a great cuppa but now i cannot get a decent cuppa at all,i have tried a few other brands like pg tips,typhoo etc but they all seem poor,i think the reason for this is that they have cut down the amount of tea the put in the bags  I switched to Tetley extra strong tea bags as they make a stronger cuppa than normal Tetley tea bags.

Guest   #17 Posted March 31, 2013 I stopped using Yorkshire teabags (used to get the ones for hard water) because I started to encounter the odd bag here and there that produced the palest of pale tea.  I now use PG Tips Strong One (two bags in a large mug - lovely!).

Tetleys have always been superior to most other teabags for strength and flavour, but have found them in the last few weeks to be fairly average and tasteless. I suppose like lots of manufacturers, they are cutting back on quality to reduce costs and hoping the punters won't notice, like the John Smiths beer they've made 0.2% weaker, cadbury's choc bars made smaller, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Scrapman_Sid   10 #21 Posted April 1, 2013 My grandad swore by Aldi's own brand tea bags. He would often don his moccasins and his big ass coat, and go to the Aldi down the road. The constant tea drinking did something for his skin; he looked incredible.  my uncle also drunk plenty of tea which affected his skin, uncle orange Alf used to drink up to 4 pots of tea per day, after 5 years of this he looked like tom Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
