LCurator note · PG Tips
Only take on 400 bags if PG Tips is definitely your tea and not a maybe; loyalty to the brand is what turns a drum this size from a gamble into a sensible buy. The brew is identical to the small box, brisk and milk-ready; the size just buys a lower price per cup for a household that will drink it daily. Keep it sealed and out of the light, and finish it before the briskness fades, four hundred bags goes flat on a slow drinker.
