I have had some of their other teas though, and if I were rich enough... The marksies 'standard' one is fine, I'll pick some up the next time I'm motivated enough to go to that bit of Douglas. I have plenty of other tea to be drinking, I just fancied a hit of the earl and didn't have any in. Quite what is 'finest' about that Tesco product claiming to be tea remains a mystery.

Kopek Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Tescos Earl Grey loses its aroma very soon after opening the foil pack. Try Twinnings though I'm not an expert on tea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure there was a Robinson's where WHSmith is, but I'd have been small so could have been wrong. I don't think it would have been there by the time I was old enough to go into town on my own. There was and it was a fair size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
