 A fine English tea! December 2, 2008
Kim Lewis (Madison, WI)
I am very pleased with the flavor, body, and strength of this tea. My husband & in-laws are from England, so I have to be quite picky about what tea I serve. PG Tips passes with flying colors!
The Brits would know! November 24, 2008
Laura A. Hewitt (Northern Illinois)
This is the number one tea in Britain, who else would you trust to know a good tea from a bad one? I have this on auto delivery for my Mother, who drinks some 4-6 cups a day. I spent some time in Europe and while I'm not a tea drinker myself, I could smell the difference from the Liptons my Mom always drank. So I bought her a box, and she hasn't drank anything else in three years. This is real quality.
 A fine and sturdy everyday tea October 31, 2008

This is a very drinkable blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan black teas from PG Tips, one of the UK's most popular brands. Although some California grocery stores stock this tea, I had not tried it until reading helpful reviews on Amazon.
Each PG Tips bag weighs 38 percent than the Lipton bag (that is available in the USA). As expected, PG Tips makes a stronger brew. Each PG Tips bag has so much tea that I can easily make a 12 ounce mug with a single bag.
PG Tips is a sturdy, straight-ahead blend with more strength than Lipton's. It is a caffeine-rich tea - in part because each bag has more tea than other brands.
PG Tips uses a pyramid shaped bag that allows more room for tea leaves to expand while steeping. Does it make better tea? I don't know, but it is a point of differentiation.
HINT: PG Tips also makes a Special Blend black tea that is only slightly more expensive in stores. I much prefer the Special Blend to their regular black tea. The PG Tips Special Blend is a very hardy and rich breakfast tea. The Special Blend is more sensitive to longer steeping times (I usually steep mine less than 3 minutes), but I find the taste more complex and satisfying.
Cognoscenti prefer loose tea. Tea bags contain the less expensive "fannings" or "dust," remains from processing loose leaf tea. And with some others brands of tea (not PG Tips), many people can taste the paper used in the bag.
If you sometimes appreciate the convenience of bags, I recommend trying PG Tips as a sturdy everyday tea. And, I more strongly recommend their Special Blend as a hardy and rich breakfast tea.
Awesome tea October 13, 2008

This is the best tea available and I am so glad I have found it available on Amazon. Back in the day I used to have to drive all over town to find an English store and then pay exhorbitant prices for some English tea. You might guess I am English and a total tea junkie but it has to be P.G. Tips because it is the greatest. It always tastes great, you can make it mild or strong, add honey or milk or sugar and still have great tea flavour. I drink four or five pots of tea a day and P.G. Tips never dissapoints.
Wonderful June 30, 2008

My foodie friend Yunah insisted that I try PG Tips. She described it as, "working class tea with a great clean caffeine buzz." I couldn't agree more. I am a huge fan.
