Advantages: A surprisingly distinctive and creamy flavour, cheap, easy to find, quintessentially English

Disadvantages: You might have to pay a few pennies more than usual.

I happened upon this distinctively refreshing and creamy tea after my parents *ahem* borrowed one or two from a Travel Lodge they'd stayed at earlier that month. I am of course referring here to the commerial teabag product, rather than the specially brewed one ironically mainly available abroad.

It has a lovely aroma that's a little lighter than what you'd expect from Tetley's, but as far as the colour goes its more or less indistinguishable from any other tea. The best thing about it is, predictably, the taste;

It is best enjoyed with milk only, as sugar generally overpowers its distinctive flavour. It is relatively strong but still goes down easy, doesn't leave much of an aftertaste and is fine for any occasion.

You will generally pay around 60p for a box of 20 in the UK which averages out at 3p each, not much more than you'd pay for a normal box of teabags but definitely worth it for the taste.

Summary: Delicious and worth the money.
