I must admit I am more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, I love both but I mainly drink tea and I drink quite a lot of it during the day and in the evening. I just cannot wake up unless I have had my morning cuppa, whichever choice I make on the day. It is an essential drink for my before I have my glass of Orange juice with my breakfast. I have bought these teabags a number of times in the past but when I saw them half price from Sainsbury's I bought 3 of them as I knew I liked them and they suited me well. They are only available at Sainsbury's as it is one of their own brands. The tea bags are also fair trade. They are in a Red box, with a ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's Red Label tea bags come in boxes of 80, 160 and 240. Obviously the bigger the box, the cheaper they become (only by a marginal few pennies per/100g mind you). As they come packaged within a vibrant, eye catching red box, it makes them instantly recognisable within the teabag section. They are becoming "Fair-trade" certified and you will find the logo on the box. As they are sealed by a polythene overwrap, your teabags will remain fresh for you to put into your teabag jar at home. The plastic packaging is easy to remove so you can enjoy your cuppa right away. At £2.91, they're great value for money. Remember, these are ...  Read the complete review

I love tea! Hi, my name's Dave and I'm a tea-aholic...... At home I drink Yorkshire tea which, in my opinion, is by far and away the best - I put 2 teabags in my pint mug pour the boiling water, leave to stew for 20 minutes and then drink - it tastes superb and I do it 7 or 8 times a day....... I also set up a Tea Lovers group on Facebook, however that is probably another matter for another day! I know none of this is applicable to Sainsbury Red Label Tea Bags, however I hope I am establishing my credentials as somebody who knows, likes and enjoys tea and is therefore qualified to review teabags! At work we also buy teabags, because the ...  Read the complete review

=== The product === Fairtrade round tea bags sold exclusively by Sainsburys. === The packaging === Each tea bag is packed in to a cardboard box. The box is red, in keeping with the name, and shows all the usual nutritional information, ingredients & company information. The box has a lid on it that you can lift up to remove the required amount of tea bags. I tend to put my tea bags in to a small 'tea' pot I have and then leave the rest of the tea bags in the cupboard in their box. I have been using a box since September last year as we don't drink a massive amount of tea and they've stayed nice and fresh inside the packaging. ...  Read the complete review

I usually opt for Tetley when it comes to tea bags, however due to the economy at the moment, I am trying to cut back on as many things as possible. When in Sainsburys the other day, I decided to pick up a pack of their Red Label Quality Tea Bags to see how they would compare. The pack I brought contained 160 tea bags, however there was a smaller and a larger one which could be most suited to your needs. I paid around £2.90 for these which is a very reasonable price. The packaging is as shown in the image, and although being an own branded product, they do look as if they are of a high quality, so I was expecting good things from these! Upon opening ...  Read the complete review
