People from UK.. what's your favorite Earl Grey tea brand?
 

Hello!

I usually drink Lipton, but I'm pretty sure there are better ones.. where do you get yours and what do you buy?

Not from the UK, but there are so many great loose Teas out there. This is the one I like. http://www.tealeaves.com/loose/russian-earl-grey. Very distinct bergamot flavour which I think is the mark of a good earl grey

Earl Grey is fucking horrible.

Surprisingly not that many Brits drink anything other than standard tea and that comes mainly in bags.

People are more into gourmet coffee than anything else at the moment.

Drinking Earl Grey would be considered pretty pretentious by most.

As far as the question is concerned I have heard that Twining's high end brands are good - Although I am a coffee drinker so I can not confirm...

i like poo...

taste like medicine :2 cents:

I live in the USA and drink Earl Grey every morning inluding right now. My favorite is Twinings.

Twinings seconded

M&S own brand loose earl grey get's my vote.

Available in the UK, too.

English Breakfast for me

I'm a fan:thumbsup:thumbsup

Can't remember the last time I drank tea.

I mostly drink Japanese green tea (ocha), however I like some British and Chinese teas as well.

For Earl Grey, I also like Twinings (they must do good marketing in North America). I especially like it with a dash of milk or with a squeeze of lemon. :ticking

Twinnings - the rest are wannabees

made into a London Fog :thumbsup

this is the one I have at home. Also, my sister lives in Patagonia (lots of Welsh people there) and sent me a nice wooden box with 20 different teas, 24 bags of each, including Earl Grey and it's amazing, but that box won't last long (some of them are horrible tho. Rose petals... whaaaagggg)

In my country Twinings is considered low-end :)

Curious to see how many of you like it. Maybe it's different...

and which brand represents the middle?

???

I guess Lipton? Or they are pretty much the same.. And yes, you could call it middle, rather than low-end, we have worse teas than these :)

But it's not (considered) the best / premium, that's for sure.

Now I'm drinking this:

it's pretty well made (but probably available only in Europe, in LIDL supermarkets).

Real men drink double espressos, tea is for grannies, no?

I like this

I bought

recently and it's the best tea i've tasted in a long time.
I always liked tea but never was like wow, that's nice! After drinking this i was like wow, this shit is nice!

That is Oolong Tea, not Earl Grey. :error

Not saying it's not good, but also wanted to point out that Deluxe is a house/generic brand of the LIDL store chain (so they probably don't even make it, and instead likely pay to add their own Deluxe packing):

When you read something like this, even if you don't know the brand, you know that they do good marketing-brainwashing :winkwink:

Strange, I always thought lipton was the low end. Well for sure at least lower than twinnings.

why only people from the UK? US People don't like tea? If you recall, we have been partying with tea for like 250 years! Hello?! Ever heard of the Boston Tea Party? That was us pal, with tea.

yea, same here, around here lipton is the crap you buy for $1.99 at walmart for 100 tea bags...

I know it's Oolong, I was just saying what I drink now. My stomach agrees with oolong tea :)
And I also mentioned that Deluxe is only available in LIDL stores, so probably just Europeans tried/ know it.

Yep thats what i would call tea lovers NOT!

On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor
