I used to be a total PG Tips girl...classy hey ;) and then my children came along, and the bills started rolling in...so I decided that as I drink A LOT of tea (about one cup an hour!), I would try and cut the cost of my shopping bills and try Sainsburys Basics teabags.

They were something like 30p so I wasnt expecting much, and I do like my tea fairly strong (milk, no sugar if youre making one!) so I was kind of fearing the worse - but hey; I neednt have worried as there wasnt a hint of dishwater-grey char in sight!

I am fairly impatient, so I really cant be doing with letting my teabags brew in a teapot for 3-4 minutes- which is the proper thing to do, as any ardent tea lover knows - I literally boil a kettle, put the teabag in a mug, fill with hot water then give a quick stir and add the milk.

Even with this method, the tea ends up tasting quite strongly of tea(rather than just water); in fact, I would go as far to say it tastes just as good as the Monkeys favourite PG Tips!

Bargain!
