There’s nothing more British than making the perfect brew . We all turn to a cuppa when we have news to celebrate, or when we need that little bit of comfort, or for no reason at all. Arguments always brew over whether it’s milk in first or last, or how long to leave the bag in.
Now PG Tips has spent £50million on a teabag that can be dunked for under 60 seconds and still make the perfect cuppa. But is the money bags teabag all it’s cracked up to be? We tested 10 different brands to see which made the most tea-riffic cuppa ..
. Tetley Original - £1.55 for 40 teabags Brewed for 60 seconds, it didn’t need that time before the water started to turn darker.
But as the time was up and i started to squeeze the bag against the side of the cup, I noticed a little scum on the surface of the water, as if it had been stewing for longer. Still, undeterred i put my splash of milk in and stirred hopefully. Nope, the scum was still there.
Not much, but enough for me to not want to dunk my digestive in there! However, the flavour didn’t disappoint. Strong enough to give a hearty flavour, but not over bearing. It was enjoyable, but seeing the residue left in the mug afterwards was disappointing.
And not the best value for money. Value - 8/10 Taste 6/10 Tesco Stockwell & Co - 79p for 80 teabags Excellent value for money - almost double the price for double the amount of Tetley teabags - these were off to a good start. After the minute, the tea bag was removed and the milk added.
