Got these at Tesco a decent strong Cuppa For a while they had a CAPTAIN SCOTTS tea and that was a nice strong brew too not seen them lately though

Any suggestions?

I know Thailand is Coffee Country now but tea makes a nice change..
 

I like this version.....

 

 

I use these, each bag good for 3 or 4 mugs of tea, 80 bags last me 3 months.

I've got a 6 month supply in the cupboard.

how much ??

I doubt you will see anymore Tesco tea here, as Tesco/Lotus 

has been sold to CP, and I don't think Tesco Products will be

a high priority for CP. there is M&S tea,if you have an M&S

shop in a nearby mall.

I think it's 115bht for 80.

Although they never have them in stock, so order 4 packets at a time online which bumps up the price a bit.

Already on my second mug this morning ........ bloody ants!

Yes, there was version of this which was rated 1, 2 or 3 in degrees of strength, but have been unable to find it lately.

 

One tea bag per cup suits fine.

You could stand your spoon up in this one ???? 

Bags, really

I don't know if Central malls are currently open, but if there's one near you, you may find a Marks and Spencers - they have some good own-brand tea. 
Another option are some Tops stores - for some weird reason they sell Waitrose own-brand tea. You can order online and get it delivered

I've just run out of my imported Tetleys, the next delivery was due last weekend but with the current travel situation it's still sitting in the UK with the family (grandkids) who were bringing it.

 

I quite like the Dilmah 100% Ceylon but cheap it is not ????

 

 

Sooo British here ????

I am no where near a Tesco or M&S and I have never liked coffee, always a tea drinker.

 

I resorted to mail order and got a whole bunch of different teas on iHerb.com (STASH Brand). I have enough variety to last me a few more months. 2 teapots, 1 bag every morning. They do a nice Earl Grey.

 

Unfortunately not taking orders right now as shipping has been compromised.

 

 

Well I was getting fed up with the Covid posts of doom

I have a confession to make : as a Fro... hmm... a FrenchMan, i drink coffee, a lot (and not easy to find good ones in Thailand, they like fake-coffee), but... i ENJOY a good cup of tea !

 

Shall we ? ???? (Lipton basic tea mask-bag)

Liptons is not tea, maybe OK for Ice tea,if you

tried to make a cup of tea with it ,leave it in

for an hour ,it would still be like Gnats p*ss.

Did once buy some Dilmah tea, but found it a bit weak, so two bags per mug solved that.

Lipton's Yellow breakfast tea. Think the key is to use bottled water though, not tap water.

anywhere in Asia tap water is unacceptable, both tea and coffee suffer if you do not have a really good filter system that removes all the fluoride chlorine etc that they treat the water with.

Agree. Only just dawned in me!!!!

The Lipton English Breakfast (Grey box) is better than Lipton yellow label but neither compare to Tetley so i need to find a new source, I'll check Tesco's

Will give that a buzz. Cheers

Best tea I ever tried was Twinings "Prince of Wales". It seems to be discontinued though which I think is rather strange.

 

For current best performance/price ratio try Tesco finest "Assam" or English Breakfast". No need for the expensive imported brands IMHO.

 

PG did not live up to the reputation. I have seen Tetley somewhere (quite probably at Siamburi's Pattaya).

 

I have tea nearly every afternoon using my 95 year old porcellain. Gives me some kind of a very well needed rest.

there is an old thread about Tetleys some info on there

Teabags! Sacrilege! My Grandmother would not approve.

The very best tea I ever found was "Barrys", apparently from Ireland but I never knew they drank anything other than Guinness ????

For a proper brew...

 

I still have months worth of the best Yorkshire tea from my previous visit to the UK..

As a coffee drinker, "decent cuppa tea" sounds like an oxymoron to me ???? That said, I drink a mug of Tetley's green tea every day, usually peppermint flavoured.  It's not particularly satisfying but gives me a break from all of the coffee I drink.

I buy these in the UK as well, makes a good cuppa....and in the UK a box of 80 is £1.10...makes a change from Yorkshire Tea.
