McVities Classic Rich Tea Reviews

I have always loved McVities Rich Tea ever since I can remember! you can keep your chocolate Digestives and your burbons - this is what I rush to the cupboard for to have with my cuppa tea! **The Packaging** The biscuits are wrapped in quite a Flimsy wrapper which does leave them vulnerable when being transported from the shop to ...  Read the complete review

I am so bad. I recently jacked in the 'diet' and am back to eating junk again!!! It's no good, I should stop going shopping.... and should really stop reading food reviews as they quite often encourage me. Anyway... Rich tea biscuits are not my usual choice, I usually prefer something with more, well... chocolate! I only ended up ...  Read the complete review

Rice tea are in many ways the perfect biscuits to go with a cup of tea, however they are also not the best in some ways too. If you have seen the Peter Kay live stand up then you may know these rich tea biscuits as one dips, as basically they can only be dipped once, and quickly at that until they become fairly soggy and cant stand solid any ...  Read the complete review

I am always on a mission to save a few pennies whilst still being able to treat myself to the things that I enjoy in life so when I saw a multipack of miscellaneous McVities products I just had to snap it up at the bargain price of £1.00 from a local supermarket. Amongst others there was a packet of Rich Tea biscuits within and I promptly added ...  Read the complete review

I like having some snacks in the biscuit barrel, even thought I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a huge biscuit fan. I tend to opt for McVities over other brands, or supermarket own makes, as they're reliably tasty. I know Rich Tea biscuits are different to digestives, but I would opt for the digestives given the choice. McVities are ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of biscuits, but usually opt for the 'more exciting' varieties. However, on my last trip to the supermarket a packet of McVities Classic Rich Tea biccies caught my eye. Haven't had one for yonks, but for some odd reason I really fancied a boring (& lets face it, bland) biccie. Then I spotted the dreaded words that ...  Read the complete review

The name explains it all. It is one of the classic biscuits. It is probably between McVities digestives and McVities Classic Rich Tea in being the best biscuit to dip into your tea. Biscuits to me are very addictive. And the good thing is that McVities Classic Rich Tea is made out of what I call healthy ingredients. It is mostly made ...  Read the complete review

Whilst on my lunch break today I noticed that the Select And Save shop by where I work was selling a 300g packet of McVities Classic Rich Tea for just 19p on a 3 day super sale deal running for just 3 days between 18/06/09 and 21/06/09. Usual price is 78p. Bargain!! They are not even out-of-date, they are good until 06/02/2010. These ...  Read the complete review

McVities Rich Tea biscuits have always been part of my life. I remember eating them as a youngster and I have never tired of their simplicity and flavour. They're quite pricey for 'plain' biscuits, but the premium is well rewarded in terms of taste. The price varies widely from shop-to-shop depending on current offers but 75p for a packet of ...  Read the complete review

I'm lucky in one sense in that i've never had a sweet tooth, so choosing snacks means i tend to stay away from rich choclatey desserts and biscuits! I generally have a pretty plain taste, and enjoy fairly simple culinarily pleasures. For me Rich Tea fall into this bracket and ever since i was a child its been my favourite biscuit of ...  Read the complete review

I have been a fan of Mcvities Classic Rich Tea biscuits since I have started drinking tea, which would be about 10 years ago. I love biscuits but then again not all. I don't like too sweet biscuits or too chocolaty and I feel these rich tea biscuits are perfect. I have to have a packet of these biscuits in my kitchen cupboard. The ...  Read the complete review

Today I went to my local Sainsbury's and all I went for was biscuits! I desperately wanted some to go with a cuppa whilst watching tonight's soaps in bed after a much needed long soak. Ok they weren't the only thing I bought although I really only went for these! Typically me I'm afraid lol. I always pick whatever I fancy and I do like ...  Read the complete review

These are a bit of a blast from the past. They were always in the biscuit barrel when I was a kid, and there was always some of these left at the end of the week, when all the more interesting biscuits had been eaten. Even now, when I am in the supermarket, I always avoid the plain biscuits section and go straight for the chocolate ...  Read the complete review

McVities Classic Rich Tea biscuits are so far down my list of favourite biscuits that I rarely eat them. I would much rather a biscuit covered in chocolate or one with jam or cream in. Once in a blue moon will I get a craving for a plain biscuit but when I do, the Rich Tea is king. Its also worth noting that I am writing this review during Lent. ...  Read the complete review

Rich Tea Biscuits - Lord of all Biscuits! Sometimes, all you want is a lovely, plain sweet biscuit without chocolate and whenever I get this craving I reach for the Rich Tea Biscuits. According to an article I read, back in 2004 Terry Wogan called the rich tea, "The Lord of all Biscuits," and I do think he's on to ...  Read the complete review

hmmm...well if i had my way rather than tucking into a packet of rich teas i would far prefer to eat some tasty hob nobs or digestives...but eating those sorts of biscuits is not kind to the waistline and although not as exciting as these varieties, Rich teas still have their charms! Namely the cost, which at only 70p ish for a 300g pack is ...  Read the complete review

I have been resisting buying rich tea biscuits as I know my weakness for it. Rich tea biscuit never stay around for very long. My resistance failed when the clever supermarket placed the McVities Classic Rich Tea biscuits on the shelf near to the checkout. Topping that, 2 packs of 300g McVities rich tea biscuits at £1, I just have to ...  Read the complete review

Being a serial dunker, biscuits don't last long in my vicinity when there's a cup of tea around. I'm generally not very picky about which biscuits get dunked either - as long as they're not Mini Cheddars... yes, some people do actually dip those into tea, yuck! As I mentioned in my review for Tesco's own Rich Tea, the biscuits were ...  Read the complete review

Rich tea have to be one of the most boring biscuits out there. Imagine the scene 'Do you want a biscuit? 'ooo yes please!' 'I've only got rich tea' 'Ohhh (disappointed) go on then' If you are going to have a biscuit as a snack surely you should go the whole hog and have a proper biscuit. However they are quite a tasty ...  Read the complete review

Eating them without any liquid accompaniment can lead to dry mouth syndrome. A 300g packet of McVitie's Classic Rich Tea biscuits will set you back about 70p at your supermarket. ...  Read the complete review
