I always took Yorkshire teabags to both Qatar and Jordan and the locals loved it so everytime I came back I had to bring some to the families I met. Very popular indeed. I must admit most of them put fresh mint leaf in the tea, I do this myself now I'm back n the UK without milk. Try it

Nah. All of them average to poor.
You can make a typhoo/twinings bag help pan out a decent bag in a pot if you really need to cater to a crowd on a budget.
Otherwise stick to Yorkshire or pg.
I'd never really thought about it before, so I googled the name origins.
PG Tips was originally Pre-Gestive, as opposed to Di-Gestive as it was sold as an aid to digestion prior to eating. The tips bit was added when it was shortened to PG to comply with advertising rules, and relates to the claim they only use the top two leaves and the bud.
Typhoo was also 'medicinal' and the name stems from the Chinese for Doctor.

There is only one tea that anyone should have and that’s Ringtons.
Nothing beats it.
We do run out now and again and have to resort to lower standard alternatives like PG or Yorkshire Tea. But we alway prefer Ringtons.
The big question for you fannies who have milk is it tea or milk first?

Ringtons had a floral nose and was a soft breakfast cuppa but never had a proper daytime kick - like a catalogue-delivery version of twinings, which even now you only really see in waitrose and cheap hotels.
Tea (steeped) to start. Add Scotch first, then ginger & honey. Sod the milk and sugar.

I think you're getting that concoction confused with fresh coffee old boy.

Answer is simple. Answer is both, with a slaver of Ketchup and a dousing of vinegar on the peas.
Ideally in a little polystyrene pot.
With scraps you can douse your curry sauce in.

I think you're mistaking me for a Columbian. The full recipe finishes by holding the tea, ginger & honey.

Yorkshire tea every time, I even brought my own out here with me, though the water here does not give the same flavour as back home.
Nah, rich with flavour and left for the right amount of time a lovely brew.
It isnt a harsh drink, but it is the tea I grew up with and nothing beats it. Me Mam still gets ours delivered to her and whenever someone comes down here or we go up, we get resupplied.
