Yorkshire Tea
This could be an emergency
Just opened the first of our last packs of OZ purchased Yorkshire Tea bags to find they have a string on each one. The three pack were a gift from a visiting relation, I haven't the heart to tell them how upset I am.
The bags looks decidedly smaller than the ones I was expecting
Maybe there is a 4th emergency service in NZ to deal with such situation.
Can I press 'TTT' on my phone to call them?

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Try Choysa Extra Strong much better.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
There's plenty of places here that sell Yorkshire Tea at a price, including Pak n Save and Countdown, if you absolutely have to but there are many other teas out there.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I use Dilmah extra strong. Tried the Choysia brand and plenty of others but all produced p*$$ water tea. Just used the last of my Yorkshire tea today, got some Assam tea bags that the parentals sent me which will do us for the next week , then I'll be back to the Dilmah. Bells tea is the absolute worst....don't buy it

I bought Pams tea bags when we first arrived - trying to save money.. I have no words to describe the taste.
I now buy PG tips - nothing like Yorkshire Tea but it hits the spot. Yorkshire Tea reminds me of my Grandma. Lovely memories.

There are plenty of UK grocer shops around Auckland that import english tea bags.

'stand your spoon up in it' stuff.

Sell 'em in Starbucks and Waitrose here.
Everything else tastes like sweepings after.
