Makros usually has them.

[topt]

I guess if nothing else is available you may miss Liptons but personally I find their tea bags somewhat insipid.........

 

I think even the Makro own brand (if available) are probably better and as Trans posted lots of options online - all be it a little more expensive.

[Moonlover]

Yup they're completely gone from the shelves of all supermarkets in Sakon Nakhon. I've just ordered 2 boxes (200 bags) via Lazada.

[Daffy D]

Been missing from my local Lotos's for some weeks now 

 

Does Makro still have them?  

 

[garygooner]

All gone in Bangkok Villa & BIG C for a few weeks now. Could it be cargo problems? Anyway, too hot for tea atm. 

[brianthainess]

They are next to the Branston Pickle Oh there's none of that anywhere in Thailand either not even on-line.

Lipton's tea bags , is that the yellow package one ? ,long time ago

that's all I could get ,waiting for family to bring proper tea bags from

UK ,Gnat's piss comes to mind , you could leave in the cup all day

and it would still be weak , 

 

They are an American thing ,maybe for making  "Iced tea"  a Scotsman ,Lipton

who had Grocery shops in UK ,took Liptons tea  to USA , but he must

have changed something to cater to American taste ,it's tea Jim ,but not as we know it.

Siamburi's appear to have this one available.

Lipton has to be the worst weakest tea available here, 2 bags makes it drinkable, better to buy Brit tea from expat stores or Lazada like Tetley or Typhoo

Five months - still no Liptons.

For a while there I was able to buy something similar - Heladiv, but now they to are also not being stocked.

Central are talking about next month they will have stock again, but Big C said today there were production issues.

[BritManToo]

On the other hand Typhoo tea is now 109bht for 100 bags with free delivery.

Villa in BK hasn't had Lipton tea for ages. They do have PG Tips. Is that any good?

PG tips has a funny taste, not my favourite, but some people prefer it

[dddave]

If there are any Indian grocers nearby, check there.  I buy my Lipton bags at one close to my Bangkok Apt.

9 out of 10 removal workers prefer it ...

 

[Andrew Dwyer]

As BritMan stated Typhoo is readily available on Lazada as is Yorkshire Tea ( but the price might put you off Yorkshire ).

 

Lipton’s is the poorest tea available imho and i am amazed it sells !!

PG Tips seems to be going the same way, weaker than a Larry Grayson handshake !

[CanadaSam]

A little off-topic, but fascinating!

 

While in Sri Lanka, I met a "tea taster". 

 

Real high salary, and his only job was to taste the tea after harvesting!

 

He needed to blend the right harvested teas together, to produce the exact taste(s) that various brands wanted / required.

 

Obviously had to give up a lot, super spicy foods, (or any food before his work shift) not much alcohol, etc. etc.

 

But he gets to drive a new mercedes in a fairly poor country.....

Couldn't find them on line from my normal shopping sights, ( and of course no shipping fee)  sorry I can't remember how much but as I hadn't seen them for 2 years I brought 2 packs and ate near 1/2 a packet for my lunch. .........
