PG Tips has been the best known and most popular brand of tea in the UK for over 75 years. Stronger than most Indian and African teas. Always innovating and improving its products, PG Tips features pyramid-shaped tea bags, which allow more room for tea to infuse and produce a better flavor. The Freeflow material used in PG Tips tea bags is made of webbed fibers, which allow water to pass through the filter, reaching the tea quickly and decreasing the brewing time. The Freeflow Pyramid bags result in fast brewing and a superior taste.

We drink a lot of tea in this house, and after trying many other basic black teas have settled on this as the best one all around. For the first pot in the morning to the iced tea later in the day, this is the one we all (four tea-drinkers) prefer.
It is robust without being bitter, does not develop a stewed flavor after sitting in the pot for an hour or so, and is very even in quality from batch to batch.

I discovered – no, I was introduced to – PG Tips when I was in London over two decades ago. I would stuff boxes of it into my suitcases when I visited London and would ask friends to do the same if they were traveling. So I was THRILLED to find PG on Amazon. PG Tips makes the best pot of black tea that you can get from tea bags. One bag is a bit too much for a cup or mug – it’s best to use a small teapot. I use two teabags in a 4-cup pot, and have my wonderful satisfying cup(s) of tea in the morning. During summer I turn the rest of the pot into iced tea. And the tea as offered on Amazon is the best price I’ve found, too.

I come from a family of tea drinkers. My parents were tea drinkers, my aunts and uncles were tea drinkers. My daughter caught the bug and she is tea drinker. I’ve tasted many different teas, but this is by far the best. The flavor is strong, the color is gorgeous. It goes extremely well by itself, as well as sweetened with honey or just plain sugar. It tastes great with key lime juice and honey. It is my favorite with milk and sugar/honey. You’ve got to try it to believe it. By comparison, American favorite Lipton comes through as bland and somewhat tasteless, or worse – tasting like the tea bag…
I highly recommed PG Tips to any serious tea drinker.

If you buy one tea, buy this one: PG TIPS. It is the workhorse, the best of the daily drivers, the most satisfing all round bagged tea I have ever had. Other teas might be more rarified and refined, good for special occasions- but I found them all to grow stale in my cupboard if this was in the house. For a more astringent cup, now and then, add a pinch of green tea to your brew.

I first drank this tea at a local restaurant. It is sooo smooth to the taste. The price on the web is very good too. It is more expensive to buy locally then with Amazon.

PG tips is the best English Tea out there if made in English style. I am an avid fan of teas and have tried hundreds of teas around the world. This is one of my favorite. It gives a great great aroma that is very satisfying.

The flavor of this tea is strong and bold without tasting bitter. PG Tips is the best tea I’ve ever tasted and I’ve been drinking it for over 10 years! I’m glad that Amazon.com is selling it because it’s definitely more expensive if you buy from those specialty tea shops. Everyone that I’ve introduced this to loves it. If you’re a serious tea drinker you can’t go wrong with this. It’s the UK’s #1 tea, that says it all!

I’ve been drinking tea for over 50 years I haven’t found many with a better flavor than PG Tips. I buy them now through Amazon.com for at a good price (4 boxes of 80 bags for $20.00 delivered).
My wife carries a zip lock bag in her purse with several PG Tips tea bags. It’s nice to have a good cup of tea when traveling. Frequently restaurants in NW Ohio have “designer teas” and they always taste like they have perfume in them. We have our PG Tips.

This tea is probably the best known tea in the UK. It’s in every home. Not fancy but GOOD TEA. It’s orange Pekoe black tea if you’re a connoisseur! At last the USA is discovering tea!

We drink this tea quite often, and really enjoy it. While not a connoisseur’s tea by any means, it makes a good, strong, “cuppa char” to go with your breakfast, sammie, or cookies. I prefer the large pyramidal bags over regular bags, too, as they seem to improve brewing of the tea and are easier to fish out before pouring. The price here at Amazon is much, much better than at the stores, too–about 1/2 the typical grocery store price per bag!
It does help if you know how to make tea, as making it incorrectly may result in a bitter, unpleasant brew. The key things to remember are: always prewarm your pot, use BOILING water (not just hot), and let it steep at least 3 minutes. As these are a bit larger than some teabags, I usually allow about 1-2 bags for each 2 cups or 1 mug of tea, plus an extra bag, “for the pot” so to speak. So in our 4-cup teapot, I will use about 4-5 bags, depending on how strong I want it. Milk (better than cream) will help cut the tannin, if your tea is too potent; lemon helps as well–but don’t use milk and lemon together!
