PG Tips Gold Special Blend, 70 Tea Bags 203g
If standard PG Tips tastes too sharp and tannic to you, Gold is the same family with the edges sanded off: higher grade leaf makes a rounder, almost silky cup with a bready malt depth in place of the brisk slap. It still takes milk like the everyday blend, it just sips more kindly, which is why it works as an afternoon cup as much as a morning one. A modest but real step up for not much more money; not a different tea, just a smoother one.
PG Tips Gold Special Blend, in brief.
The 70 bag pack of PG Tips Gold Special Blend is a 203g box of black tea blended from hand-picked leaves from Rwanda, Kenya and Assam. The current box promises a smooth, rich cup with plenty of aroma.
At a glance: 70 black tea bags · 203g · smooth, aromatic style. Brew with boiling water for one to two minutes, then add milk if desired.
