## Description

Clipper Organic Everyday: The Organic Builder's Brew, in summary: Clipper's everyday black tea, organic and packed at household scale in 80 or 160 round bags of about 2.9g. Brisk, moderately malty and made for milk: one bag, one mug, three minutes, bag out before the milk.
Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.
Organic tea usually comes in small boxes bought as a treat; this one comes by the hundred and sixty and is meant to live by the kettle. The cup itself is deliberately ordinary, which is exactly what an everyday tea is for.
A one-line label and a familiar cup 
The ingredient list is a single line: organically grown black tea. There is no flavouring and nothing added, and the published list names none of the 14 major allergens. In the mug that means a brisk, clean lift at the front, real body below it, though well short of a straight Assam's weight of malt, and enough tannin to keep its shape once the milk goes in.
Knowing what it is not helps too. The caffeine is left in, and this is a blend rather than an estate or single-origin speciality chosen for its provenance. It is the organic version of the cup most households already drink several times a day, the builder's end of Clipper's range, designed around milk and a busy morning.
Eighty bags or a hundred and sixty 
Both cartons hold the same tea at the same bag weight: 232g across 80 bags and 464g across 160, which is about 2.9g a bag either way. That puts them in standard everyday territory, with slightly more leaf than the 2.5g found in many Twinings bags. Each bag makes one mug; a second pour from a spent everyday bag is little more than hot water.
Choose by how quickly the house gets through tea. The 80-bag box suits a smaller household or a first try; the 160-bag family carton is for a kitchen where the kettle goes on all day and you would rather the everyday box were the organic one. If Fairtrade is the mark you shop for, Clipper's Fairtrade Everyday states it in its name.
Three minutes, then the milk 
Allow a bag per 250ml mug and freshly boiled water. After three minutes take the bag out, give it a gentle squeeze against the side of the mug, and only then add the milk; milk poured onto a bag that is still steeping cools the water and stalls the brew. Colour arrives long before flavour, so a bag pulled at ninety seconds gives a mug that looks strong and tastes of little.
Taken black it reads slightly underpowered, so if you skip the milk, add a fourth minute rather than a second bag. With milk it lands where an everyday tea should. On the food side it wants something with snap and spice, or dark chocolate: a ginger biscuit or an oaty dark chocolate biscuit stands up to a brisk, milky mug.

FAQ
How much tea is in each Clipper Organic Everyday bag? About 2.9g, worked out from 464g across 160 bags or 232g across 80.
Can I drink Clipper Organic Everyday without milk? You can, but it is built for milk. Taken black, give it an extra minute in the mug.
Is the 160-bag carton the same tea as the 80? Yes: the same organic black tea at the same bag weight. Only the carton size changes.
Is Clipper Organic Everyday decaffeinated? No, it is an ordinary caffeinated black tea. Clipper's organic and Fairtrade decaf is the box for late cups.
Why does my tea look strong but taste weak? Colour comes out well before flavour. Leave the bag in for the full three minutes before lifting it out.
Curator's note: Three minutes, bag out, then milk, every time. It is a plain, dependable mug, and with this by the kettle I would not bother keeping a separate box for guests. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
