Teabags For 28P!

[brandyrose]

What do you think is in the teabags? Shopping today and saw 80 teabags for 28p? - would you buy them? Are they OK?

claimed to have bags of flavour and mixed leaves!!

Anybody out there know anything about tea?

I just felt they may be full of some kind of tea dust and I dont think I'd enjoy this tea as I'd wonder how they could do them that cheap... but I might just be a snob and I should give them a go for the heck of it.

if you like them, who cares if they are made from tea dust?

For 28p I'd give them a try....It's not like you're losing much.

I only drink darjeeling tea.

Most tea bags are full of tea dust anyway. I was in a tea plantation in Sri Lanka and they showed us the machine that sifts the tea. The large bits of leaf went to the market in the Middle East, the rest went to other parts of the world and the dust that landed underneath went in teabags. You might as well give them a try.

Best not bother then woofgang

At 28p you can't really lose. Having said that, tea is a very important drink for me and I wouldn't bother!

[brandyrose]

You have a point - what the hell. They probably taste great.

[mazie]

Where did you see them brandyrose?

[Hopkirk]

I wouldn't bother.

You get what you pay for

[mazie]

It's 28p Hopkirk and they may be great...So not a major loss

[ferlew]

No way.....I enjoy my tea, granted it's only Tetley, but I like it.

I have some Typhoo pyramid teabags at the moment. Today one of them burst in the mug. Loads of dust at the bottom of the mug. Try the 28p ones. I suspect they will be just as 'good'

Begins with an S and ends with an s...

Yea - I like good food etc., too but I think maybe its good to mix it all up abit sometimes because you get stuck thinking some things are not OK and they often are OK and some expensive things have rubbish in them too. What's the worst that can happen - wasted 28p. Its perception I guess. Someone obviously thinks they are packed with flavour!

If they're rubbish, put them on your rose bushes after dunking them. Your roses will definitely like them.

Dunk the teabags, not your roses!

Thanks DSJ thats a good idea.
