The PG Tips Story
1869 - The first brew
Arthur Brooke opens his first shop in Manchester and its success lays in his sale of reliable tea blends. His big break comes in the late 1870s when a grocer asks for a bulk order of tea at wholesale prices.
1930s - The pre-digestive era
Arthur Brooke launches in the UK tea market under the name of 'Pre-Gest-Tea'. Grocers abbreviate it to PG, and the company adds 'tips' to highlight the fact that PG uses the top two leaves and a bud to make its tea.
1960 - It's in the bag
The makers of PG Tips introduce the tea bag to a stunned nation. They catch on quickly and soon, tea bags out-sell loose-leaf tea.
1996 - The 8th wonder of the world
The makers of PG Tips launch the revolutionary PG Tips pyramid bags. With more room inside, it acts like a miniature teapot, giving the leaves more room to move.
2008 - Green leaves
PG Tips joins forces with the Rainforest Alliance to ensure PG Tips tea suppliers meet their high sustainability standards.

What sets PG Tips apart is their commitment to quality. Each tea bag is crafted from carefully selected tea leaves, sourced from the finest tea gardens around the world. This attention to detail results in a brew that is consistently full-bodied and flavorful, with a distinctively robust character that's perfect for any time of day.
One of the things I appreciate most about PG Tips is their unique pyramid-shaped bags. Not only do these bags allow the tea leaves to unfurl and release their full flavor, but they also make for a visually striking presentation. It's a small detail, but it adds to the overall experience of enjoying a cup of PG Tips tea.
The flavor profile of PG Tips is wonderfully balanced, with notes of malty richness and a subtle hint of bitterness that is perfectly complemented by a splash of milk. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a biscuit or slice of cake, PG Tips tea never fails to hit the spot.
In terms of brewing, PG Tips tea bags are incredibly versatile. Whether you prefer a strong cuppa or a more delicate brew, you can easily adjust the strength by adjusting the brewing time. Plus, the convenient individual tea bags make it easy to brew a perfect cup every time, without any mess or fuss.
Beyond the quality of the tea itself, PG Tips is a brand with a rich history and a strong commitment to sustainability. They are Rainforest Alliance certified, ensuring that the tea is ethically sourced and produced in a way that protects both the environment and the communities where it is grown.
In conclusion, PG Tips Tea Bags are a timeless classic that never disappoints. With their rich flavor, convenient packaging, and commitment to quality, they are the perfect choice for tea lovers everywhere. Whether you're starting your day with a morning brew or winding down in the evening, PG Tips is sure to satisfy.
Found what I thought was a reasonable deal @ WallyMurt ($19 for 240). Just after purchasing that one, I found this killer deal on Amazon (better than half the price). I was concerned about ordering online, as some of the other reviews stated the flavor/quality was off in the tea that they received (and that there was any inconsistency to begin with, wth? fake brand?) Luckily, I did not find this to be the case with my order. 480 bags for $18 ($0.0397 per cup) is as good as it gets. Mine shipped directly from UK, seller WorldWideMart UK. (06/2019 purchase - 04/2020 expiration). The flavor is as I expected it to be, and their shipping was adequately timed. Just worth mentioning perhaps, the WM purchased box had expiration of 05/2020... I would have thought the 'fresh' from UK would have been a better expiration date, not the case tho.
just some friendly other cuppa recommendations for my tea-loving friends (I will stick to all similar-ish to PG, & similarly prepared hot/cream/honey, and readily available basic stuff):
my all-time favorite morning cuppa is Foojoy Yunnan Pu-erh, cheap (I buy direct from Asian market for 25% of what it costs online), conveniently bagged, and seriously tasty. Being a Chinese tea, perhaps one would never consider it prepared English style. Give it a try though. Smoky and earthy, with a strange and balanced richness that oddly sits in the background rather than up-front like an acidity (hard to describe), pairs incredibly with the cream/honey. My personal heaven.
loose leaf: Edinburgh Tea & Coffee Co, Scottish Breakfast
um, daily drinker: Bigelow Earl Grey (*gasp*, hey be nice, it's free at work! Now that I have 480 bags of PG Tips, though: bye Bigelow)
honorable mentions:
Twinings Lady Grey (something a little different)
Twinings Prince of Wales (nice change of pace)
