We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

    Can’t comment on the pricing, but I’ve found Yorkshire tea pretty cheap on Amazon and it’s very strong

      Someone else recommended it. I need to check it out.

      The name amuses me because it suggests it’s from Yorkshire instead of Asia or Africa.

        Brit here, Yorkshire Tea is definitely the better of the two. Yorkshire Gold specifically is a great non-specialty tea.

          I will get a smaller box and try it out. I don’t want to get a huge box and hate it. Thanks!

            Look, no one buys Yorkshire tea in small boxes. You always buy a 210 bag box.

              Haha. I see Yorkshire Tea on Amazon and also Yorkshire Gold, but is either as strong as PG Tips Extra Strong or is there another type that doesn’t seem to be available here in the U.S.?

                According to my British friends Yorkshire Gold is legit. I don’t know if it’s as strong though. Not much of a tea drinker myself, just reporting what I’ve been told.

                I can’t really compare it to PG Tips as PG Tips taste like coloured water to me (just like all Lipton products) and the last time I drank it was like 5-6 years ago.

                Look, The Spiffing Brit drinks Yorkie, Colin Furze drinks Yorkie, what else do you need to switch to the best tea out there?
