Founded in 1869 by Arthur Brook, developed his own quality blends mixing together various estate teas. This ensured a more consistent quality because, as with any crop, the characteristics of a consignment can vary according to climate, time of year and general growing conditions. In 1930 PG Tips was launched in the UK as a loose leaf tea in soft packs. It was originally called Pre-Gest-Tee” but soon abbreviated by grocers and van salesmen as PG. The company adopted the official name and added ‘tips’ to highlight that PG takes only the top two leaves and a bud to make its tea. PG Tips is a popular British blend of the finest Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas which produces a rich and refreshing flavor. The definitive traditional English tea. The PG Tips pyramid tea bag gives the tea leaves more room to move around than a flat conventional tea bag. So the tea bag works like a miniature tea pot. This allows for all the freshness to be released for the best tasting cup of PG.

It’s a great blend of black teas. The taste is great and the bag is convenient.It’s not completely accurate to call…
Great Classic English Tea I’m normally a strictly loose leaf tea snob but I can’t get enough of PG Tips. It’s the classic British breakfast tea with the faint muscatel notes found in higher end indian teas. A splash of milk and a dash of sugar to top off, this is how I start each day. Be careful with steeping, if left too long this tea becomes extremely bitter and un-drinkable (unless of course that’s your thing!).
What can I say – I love this tea A native Brit – I am addicted to my PG tips. So, now that I am living in the US I am committed to buying it online. The tea is full-bodied and so flavorful. I brew it straight in my tea mug by pouring boiling water from my electric kettle straight onto the tea bag and let it steep for about a minute. It is strong enough for me by then and then I add my reduced-fat (2%) milk to reach a color akin to pale pine flooring. Drink it piping hot and its a fantastic morning pick-me-up. I prefer to buy…
