Have you ever checked the ingredients on one of the labels on those bags?

 

From what I remember, it contains about 5% sugar, plenty of artificial food coloring to create that orange hue, and claims to include a blend of “secret” herbs and spices. Honestly, I’d be shocked if there’s even a trace of real tea leaves in it.

 

Take a closer look at what’s inside the bag. It’s like someone took a shovel to their garden and dumped the contents straight in. You’ll find what looks like twigs, dirt, and all sorts of unidentifiable bits in there.

 

Years ago, I used to drink it from street vendors, until I decided to buy a bag and inspect it myself. There’s a reason it’s so cheap.

Hmm, good points, I think I will look for an alternative,

No aficionado on tea....but, not being a fan of builders tea, I quite like Lipton's Yellow.

The worst tasting tea bags of all time. Good riddance. Plenty of far better alternatives available at supermarkets throughout Thailand.

Seen/purchased (PG) this week in Tops Food Hall, Central Citlom, a separate section for "Foreign Tea". Not cheap though.

How does the Tata compare to Typhoo one cup?

It has a metallic steel-like flavour......

If you can't get the tea you want off the shelves in your location, then might I suggest ordering directly from a good tea supplier in SiChuan.

The reasons are:

 

a. Black tea from China is better than anything you will find with a Lipton label.

b. Ordering from SiChuan is so much cheaper!

c. You can buy loose tea and tea bags, equally easily.

d. Quality is wonderful.

 

Normally, I just buy enough tea in one order to last over 12 months.

Then, I store in the refrigerator, before opening, and after opening each 250 gram box with foil inside pack.

 

I prefer Chinese tea, anyway.

But, the black tea from China is very similar to western tea bags....except superior.

 

(Or, just order from Taiwan.  Taiwan tea, I believe, is better quality, but quite a bit more expensive.  I think no need for me.)

What's that in proper English please.        wirked = worked....tgere = they're.....week = weak....coice = choice.

But agree with the comment on TyPhoo vs Lipton.

Best options. Get online from Tops or on Lazada:

I'm actually not an English tea drinker myself, but I'm familiar with the Twinings brand. I much prefer Japanese green tea and occasionally drink some Chinese oolong tea. What is that stuff? Just English black tea? And why do you like it?

I wouldn't trust any food product from China. There are dozens of tea plantations there in the north growing Chinese tea. I'm sure you can find all this stuff up there in Chiang Mai being sold in local shops. No need to order from China and take a risk.

Absolute rubbish. Try brushing twice a day.

Oh, it's SterAdent, or it was when my Mum used it.

Apparently, Ryan loves Yorkshire tea.

Does anyone know what has happened to Lipton teabags?  Hardly anywhere seems to sell them anymore.  Not great teabags but if nothing else is about,  then they are alright. but they seem to have vanished from Thailand.   

 

I bought these at the Tops Daily store:

Teabagging is such an incomplete event. I much prefer shoving the whole hog in there, bait, tackle, and all!

Guilty of terrible spelling   but my excuse is a bad eye infection. 

Susposed to read ;

 

Those Liptons Tea Bags work out very expensive, because you need 5 Tea Bags for one cup , because there as week as cats piss , although i have never tried cat piss myself 

WTF....Man....

 

Did you think I was joking?

 

SiChuan Tea is better than any tea you will get in FING England....and....

Cheaper, too.

 

Here is what I buy, once per year.

I suggest you just do the same, so that you....don't...

Never run out of tea.

 

If I ever ran out of tea, then it might be a major disaster:

 

However, please do not buy too much....because.....

 

If you try to drink more than 5 kilograms of tea in one year...then....

You might regret it.

I didn't have a n eye infection when learning how to spell at school, 70 years ago.

Anyway, hope it gets better and then you will put apostrophies in they're (they are) and in cat's, to signify possession of the said Pi55.

Agree with your assessment of Lipton Tea,
