LCurator note · PG Tips
PG Tips earns its corner of the cupboard with a brisker, more tannic bite than the softer everyday blends, the Kenyan leaf gives it that sharp morning slap while the Assam adds a caramel-malt roundness so it is not just astringent. It is built for milk and a proper wake-up, less a sipping tea than a get-going one. The 80-bag is the standard household size; nothing clever, just the brand doing exactly what its drinkers expect, consistently.

About this tea
PG Tips Original English Breakfast, in brief.
PG Tips Original English Breakfast in the eighty-bag pack is the famous builders'-tea brand at its everyday best, a brisk, robust, full-bodied amber cup made for high-volume households and offices. It is the caffeinated counterpart to the PG Tips Decaf we also stock, the one to reach for when you want a strong, no-nonsense daily brew that handles a generous splash of milk perfectly rather than a delicate or gentle tea, well clear of supermarket own-brand.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
Steep3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
ServiceAdd a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
Iced versionBrew 4 bags strong in 500ml, dissolve 4 tablespoons of caster sugar in the warm tea, cool, dilute with 500ml of cold water and the juice of 2 lemons.
CaffeineContains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
Best withA full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
