A fair tea

I usually buy leaf tea, but wanted to buy tea bags to take camping (they are easier when you are moving about). When in Tesco’s I bought a pkt of Clipper fair trade tea bags containing 80 tea bags.(this op was written in the summer then forgotten about)


These tea bags you prepare as you would any tea bag, pour boiling water onto the tea bag and let it infuse for 2 or 3 minutes.
I prefer my tea very weak so only let it brew for a short time. They recommend 1 tea bag per person but since I, and my husband, drink very weak tea, I dip it in one cup and then dunk it in the other, or if I am using a pot use only 1 tea bag.

This tea is nice not too strong a delicious flavour nice and light not to heavy tasting strongly of tannin.
My husband drinks his black. The tea is a lovely golden colour. It can be used to prepare iced tea I have never done this.
Yes I like this blend tea I shall certainly buy it again.
The bags the tea is enclosed are unbleached

This tea has added advantage; the tea leaves are purchased from tea estates where there are good standards of production. Where the tea pickers are provided with a good standard of social and economic welfare where the people who live there and the wildlife is looked after. Fair trade guarantees a better deal for third world producers I like to think my drinking tea does not exploit others.

This tea costs £1.78p from tesco, for 80 bags, PG tips cost £1.48 for 80 bags.
