December 8, 2025Dec 8 I like the above tea and have been buying it from Big C --- my current purchase today was THB759 for 210 bags. Unfortunately, my local branch at Pattaya Tai sometimes only has smaller quantity packs. I prefer to buy large quantity packs --- the bigger the better! I've been looking at online purchases only to find that no one can come even close to Big C's prices. I have seen some good deals but, when one adds shipping costs etc., Big C still beats them. Has anyone beaten Big C's prices?

December 8, 2025Dec 8 You are not going to find them cheaper unless you go back to the U.K. and buy that special pack for £9.99. My suggestion is that if they don't go stale, buy more now, as it's clearly a promo pack that contains 50 bags for free. You are paying the price for 160 bags, rather than 210. Stop complaining and grab them whilst you can. :)

December 10, 2025Dec 10 You may like to try Devonshire Restaurant and Guest House 0n Soi Lengkee. There are Taylors Yorkshire teabags (big boxes) on display..... however price unknown.
December 10, 2025Dec 10 I purchased Ahmad Tea London, 100 bags for 180 baht via shopee, very good strong tea. Aldi own brand tea is very very good, makes a change from Yorkshire tea.

Both Tea's, Lipton and 'Yorkshire Tea' are good black teas made from more or less the same places (Kenya + Assam + Rwanda). The difference is in the exact blend ratio, the cut of the leaf, and how aggressively it’s processed. Its personal taste! Calling Lipton 'rubbish' is ridiculous. You got to brew it right, boiling water into the cup/mug with the tea bag and leave it for a full 5 minutes. Before removing, Press the bag hard against the side with a spoon – that’s where the flavor lives. Do that and a £3 box of Lipton suddenly punches way above its weight – bold, brisk, malty, no bitterness. Brew it like an impatient office worker (30-second dip, lukewarm water) and yeah… it’ll taste like dishwater. Same with Yorkshire Tea, PG Tips, or any teabag: 90 % of “this tea is rubbish” is actually “I can’t boil water properly.”

I wonder if a lot of people's experience of Lipton's is from hotel breakfast buffets, where the water isn't boiling and the result is pretty insipid. I have occasionally brewed Lipton's at home in a pot and boiling water and it's not bad.
December 12, 2025Dec 12 Is the Yorkshire tea you buy in Thailand the exact same as what you buy in the UK? What you buy in the UK is Taylors of Harrogate, I always bring back the packs of Yorkshire tea 210 teabags when I am in the UK.

Absolutely agree, I understand some folks prefer a very strong robust tea, like builders tea, but I actually prefer Lipton's Tea brewed properly!

Working in post imperial Nigeria in the late 1960s for 3 years I could only find Liptons in my local shops and I tried every conceivable brewing combination to try to improve the taste. I have avoided Lipton tea ever since.
December 12, 2025Dec 12 https://shop.villamarket.com/product/226893 seen at Tops also (although can't find it online, other than the "tea biscuit" flavor).
