Where can i find real good english tea in UAE? Like a step above PG tips etc.

Emerald_Eyes

Try Waitrose - they have all the English brands in there, except for my beloved Yorkshire Tea.

Emerald_Eyes

Really? I've had to make do with PG Tips and they're pathetic in comparison. Thanks for that.

Shat Fink

now we're talking, many thanks, is there a waitrose or lifco in abu dhabi? or the nearest one to AD?

Blue Cat

the one in the Marina here is probably your closest, BB2 will know where to get it in AD

They sell Twinnings in Spinneys in AD.

No waitrose or lifco in Abu Dhabi but Lulu in Khalydia Mall sell Yorkshire tea. Also check spinneys for waitrose tea as they do stock some waitrose products.

Shat Fink

Many thanks for the replies, i'll pass by Lulu later, getting fed up with PG tips also and dont even mention Lipton...

So is Yorkshire tea the tea of choice? I'm after strong builders type tea, with none of that earl gay smokiness.

I wasn't aware that tea was produced in England. Surely the best quality teas come from Sri Lanka and Kenya, don't they?

Emerald_Eyes

Yorkshire tea is lovely - it's definitely a strong builders cuppa. I can't stand PG tips, Lipton and the like.

Shat Fink

yeah the tea comes from africa, sri lanka, india but i guess its Yorkshire tea who determine hows its blended etc

Dont think anyt tea is grown in UK, wrong climate i guess

Shat Fink

Sounds exactly what im after then, many thanks. Gotta be good and strong if its from Yorkshire!

shiva

either that or full of sawdust cos their tight bstrds

Dubaidog

I'm drinking a nice mug of M&S tea right now...

They do a range of Fairtrade Tea in round tea bags that is marketed as Mild/Medium/Extra strong - far superior to that Lipton yellow label rubbish!
