Hi Gareth, I'm a total Tetley devotee. I've tried pretty much every other brand, luxury and supermarket own brands, but none have ever compared to the lovely, deeply rich and malty taste of Tetley. With tea, you do tend to get what you pay for. Tetley is well worth an extra quid, just for the terrific taste ;)

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cicero2]

Also a Tetley devotee, Mark. I'd never compromise on a good cuppa. Another fair test, Gareth! Many thanks.

[@missmerrily4830]

I used to really like Tetley tea once, then I tried Yorkshire and it's been no contest ever since. So I can't really compare Asda teabags to Tetley, but on the other hand if you only have 31p in your purse, it's good to know these are OK! And often it's a case of leaving the bag to 'brew' for a bit longer, to help the taste along.

If you can, try the ALDI top of the range teabags. Here in Ireland they are called "McGrath's Fair Trade Reserve Tea" & comes in a black box of 80 teabags for €1.39. It has won two awards. In the Uk it may have a different name but is probably the same tea in a similar black box! It is a fabulous tea and is every bit the equal of the top of the range teabags from the big manufacturers that cost 3 times the price.

To keep your essentials teabags fresh, just put them in an empty, cleaned and dried Just Essentials coffee jar 😁 I use the Just Essentials teabags, they are fine but I do leave the bag in for a good 4 mins.

[@hatjodelka]

I've always preferred decent quality loose tea in a proper teapot because that's the tea I grew up drinking. I do have teabags in the house because my daughter prefers a bag in a cup (she leaves it in). Each to their own. I realised a while ago that a lot of tea bags contain plastic & don't break down in the compost heap. PG Tips bags do though so I get those in for her. I think more brands are switching away from polymer teabags but I think PG were the first big brand that did. I wouldn't say I'm minted these days but even in my skintest days there were some things I didn't skimp on because it made me feel poorer. Tea is one of the things I always paid a bit more for and got decent quality. I save money elsewhere.

Decent coffee and biscuits as well. Ringtons aren’t cheap but the important things in life, like tea,coffee and biscuits are worth paying for.

I tried Stockwell (from Tesco) tea at 65p for 80 a while back. I used PG Tips prior and to be honest, there was not much difference in taste if you left the tea bag in for a bit longer. I now swear by Stockwell. Swapped to their coffee too.

Agree - finished a few blue boxes of Stockwell very happily. I love love love my tea, have tried all the brands and was quite happy with it for breakfast (I take it weak).

[@SuperLittleTyke]

When I was living frugally before my pension started, I drank Tesco own brand tea. Then I moved to Aldi's brand in the red packet, but now I only drink Yorkshire tea. But the Just Essentials tea is good enough if one is on a budget. The Tetley, though, is going to have better quality tea in the bags. That's where the nice colour comes from.

[@debeeriz]

years ago l was told it was condys crystals that colored the tea, but whether its true?

[@garyl5128]

I did a similar test a few years ago, comparing the then 'smart price' tea to my usual brew, but did it less scientifically (got the colours of the two teas roughly the same as the 'equaliser', so 'brew' time in the cup was different and did some squeezing of the tea bags while in the cup), and found the SP tea to be stronger with a bit of a bitter tang that felt like it was coating your mouth more. They're fine as 'emergency back up' but like you, I still preferred the alternative. As price goes though, they're not a bad tea and with some trial and error can probably make a nicer cuppa. Keep up the comparisons, I'm really enjoying them!

[@dedodododedadada6943]

I find if you drink any brand of tea for a few days, your taste buds get used to it and accept it as the norm. The best test Gareth would be for you (and your family) to drink the cheap tea for a few days, then do a blind tasting, and see which you prefer. Also bear in mind, the cheap tea contained 25% less than the Tetleys. You need to compensate for this in someway.

I used to pay £2.49 for 240 Tetley tea bags, price has gone up now and last week I paid £2.99 for 240 bags at Tesco, so that still works out at only 1.25 pence per tea bag of delicious Tetley tea, cant complain at that and NO WAY worth even considering any tasteless budget economy brands !

I have bought the white label stuff for years, not because I have to but because I'm a miser lol, but I have to say I draw the line at tea bags. Not had the really cheap ones for a while - they might have improved - but I find that if you leave them in for long enough to get stronger (and stir/squeeze the bag etc) they become actively unpleasant, with a really coarse taste that's like eating soil or something. I've settled on the "posh" Aldi/Lidl stuff, you can get stuff like Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea for 90p for 50 and these, while still cheaper than Tetley I prefer,and you can alternate the flavours so you don't get bored with one type.
