LCurator note · PG Tips
Only worth committing to 400 bags if PG Tips is genuinely your tea, not a maybe, because brand loyalty is what makes a drum this size sensible rather than a gamble. 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.
