Curator note · Tetley
If your usual builders brew has started tasting flat but you are not ready to fuss over loose leaf, this is the honest middle step. It is Tetley Gold territory: the same milk-friendly malt as the red box with a brighter, more aromatic top note and a faint biscuity finish, a noticeably livelier everyday cup for very little extra money.

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Tetley Seriously Refreshing, 75 Tea Bags 250g

  • Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
  • Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
  • Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
  • Service: Add 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 version: Brew 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.
  • Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
  • Best with: a full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
