I'm off to a place where every shop sells it along with proper dunkin' biscuits and the streets are paved with gold.

Agree cant stand that Earl Grey tea.
Try GoodwoodsBritishfoods.com .Little pricey but if you really fancy something from home go for it.

Our local World Mart sells the usual PG Tips, etc. But lately I've taken to this stuff.
Its a lot cheaper and tastes really nice.

Its Lifeboat Tea.
Presumably its what they keep in their thermos's to give to revive people they drag out of the sea.

LOL I always say that to him. I've never known him to drink tea until about a year ago...he decided to give up coffee and drink poofters tea.

Finally after 21 years in the US they have decent Tea bags at a decent price.
Tetley's British blend. Fresh and strong. Even some imported PG tips I have bought have tasted off, maybe due to heat or long periods of storage.
This Tetley's brand is available through Safeway in the US, specifically Vons or Pavillions in CA.
Really is good.

Here is a link, pretty sure it's much cheaper than imports;

I've been pushing Tetley's British Blend on here for ages...I think it's available from most supermarket chains. I only found PG Tips in my local supermarket about 6 months ago.

Lord Lionheart

PG Tips is only available at import stores here as far as I know, at highly inflated prices.

The worst has got to be Liptons. I've used 3 or 4 bags and it's still tastes like dishwater.

Why did you bring them from the UK if you can get decent tea here ??

Jerseygirl

I agree with you about Liptons...one cup and the rest went in the bin.

Costs almost $9 for 80...I got around 500 for less than that at Asda. I like a bargain...what can I say?

Lord Lionheart

I guess tea bags are much cheaper in the UK. $4 for 80 of the Tetleys British blend is a good deal here in CA, not sure what 80 tea bags cost in the UK nowadays ??

Jerseygirl

I don't know. I can't even check how many PG Tip bags were in the boxes I bought...'cos I took them out of the boxes and put them into plastic bags so I could get more in my suitcase. Like I said...I like a bargain.

Lord Lionheart

I usually get tea, Thorntons toffee, walkers crisps, potato bread and bacon in my case when I go back

Jerseygirl

Last couple of times I brought back Cheshire cheese. Thornton's toffee...my mum's favourite.

I bought some of those as I had just run out of my PGtips stash and they're pretty good.

Yes...I've been buying Tetley British Blend tea bags from walmart for years,it really is good....taste AND pricewise!....even though I don't drink tea very often,my hubby drinks it all the time,even though he can't stand American tea,he never drank tea until I got him addicted after making him a cup of PG Tips when I met him in the UK in 1986,he's been drinking it by the pint mug ever since!!!!
I think I pay about $2.50 for a pack of 80 tea bags

If you want to know approx. prices you can get onto tesco.co.uk and do price checks.....I have a look ever now and then....not too often because I get mad at the price of the things we can import!!!....talk about markups!!!!
