A traveler's choiceDec 01, 2008
Having traveled in England and Scotland, I have enjoyed many different types of tea. But on the cool, damp nights when one might want a cup of tea for a bit of comfort, I have been glad to have Typhoo as a first choice. It is hardly exotic in England or Scotland as it is readily available on most store shelves there. In the States it is more difficult to locate, though well worth the trouble. With a bit of honey, sugar, or sweetener, it is a very smooth and pleasant tea without any unfortunate aftertastes. And with a lightly sweet biscuit (or cookie), it is enough to teach an American the virtues of tea time.

Full bodied, well roundedNov 27, 2007
I live in Japan, a land of excellent green tea but when it comes to brown (the Japanese call it red) I prefer British. The only British teas sold here in Japan are Twingings and Liptons. I don't like the fussy leafy taste of the most "prestigious" big British tea manufacturer, Twinings. The Liptons sold here is weak, and other brown teas here taste like cardboard. I import tea bags from Britain.
The British drink a lot of brown tea. I guess that this means that they have the purchasing power to get the best ingredients shipped, processed and packed most efficiently. Of the big three British teabag producers in order of retail volume, PG-Tips, Tetley, Typhoo, the former is for me a little too leafless and rounded, so thick it is reminscent of Cocoa and in that sense perhaps the most "British". I prefer the the "fresher" taste of Ty-Phoo and PG Tips. They are almost fruitily fresh. All are excellent and will change your perception of tea if you have not tasted tea from the small island.

English tea, the best!!!Aug 30, 2007
I had this tea on the day of my wedding.. it was fabulous.... If you like Tea.. this is a little better than Tetley. Great taste, flavor, soothing!!!

A great cuppa!Aug 28, 2007
First discovered Typhoo teabags in an English shop on the West Coast of FL. Have since seen them in my local grocery in Eastern NC. I'll never go back to American teabags! This is a strong, dark tea & I absolutely love it! I drink mine w/ an artificial sweetener, no milk. Heavenly! Now for a good book...
