I used to drink Earl Grey breakfast tea until the price went up to 150 baht for 25 tea bags in BigC.

 

I have just looked at the price on Lazada and it ranges between 217 thb for 25 bags to over 800 thb for 25 bags.

I've noticed that the Lipton's tea bags you get on a string in the small 65b boxes is stronger than the insipid tea in the larger boxes. It's a tad more expensive per bag but preferable.

I have long suspected a lot of the imported gear that comes in from China to be substantially poorer quality and cheaper grade than what the Chinese send to Western countries. I put it down to lack of quality control by Thailand.

 

On the tea subject, I buy boxes when I am in the UK and bring it over.

Liptons tea , I would rather go without than drink that weak rubbish . Yet every hotel that I have stayed in Thailand , will serve Liptons tea , be it in your room or restaurant . Its either Liptons or 3 in 1 coffee which is loaded with sugar , ugh .

Lazada is a mine field when trying to buy a genuine brand name item and often faced with a wide range of prices for the same article .

Friend , in Thailand , had a Samsung TV which broke down 2 months outside of the 1 year guarantee . When he researched the model he found it was only produced and sold in Thailand and was no longer available .

Have you tried Nivea and Watsons? Don't.

I've used a couple cans of Nivea bought on Lazada lately... Although I generally prefer shaving gels from the U.S., I thought the Nivea foam gave a comfortable shave and was fine, despite being pretty pricey.

Liptons tea has always been expensive garbage.

Buy Typhoo one cup tea bags on Lazada, 150bht for 100 bags.

Liptons tea has always been weak enough to be a fortnight. 
???? Tea.
