Other brands besides Tetley?

Question

I noticed that Tetley Tea has a lot of colouring in it. It staines the mugs. I have recently switched to Mark & Spencer Freetrade teabags. Anyone can recommend other brands? What about Twinnings?

Answer 1

lipton...although i do like tetley better and i havent had a real stain problem either though

Answer 2

Tazo tea is great and  republic of tea is as well very good.

Answer 3

i like evolution tea. if your local supermarket doesn't carry it, they have a website you can purchase from online. i like the organic green tea the best.

Answer 4

Good Morning Killing Boredom @ work,

Personally I agree w/ya. I have switched to white tea. On occasion I'll have reg if nothing else is available. Anyhoo, here's a great site for more info on white tea. It's actually better for U than green. Search around @ your local $1.00 stores. I have found quite a few varieties @ mine. The metal tins are the cutest too! Best of luck. :)

Answer 5

Lipton, Red Rose, Celestial Seasonings, Twinnings, and I know there are a few more but am drawing a blank right now.

Thanks for the heads up on Tetley.  I just made some into ice tea and I really like the flavor of it....it isn't bitter.  But now I know to watch my cups and glasses for staining!

Oh and to get the stains out, try either a scrub with vinegar and baking soda, or soak them in water to which you have added some regular Clorox bleach then wash as usual.

Answer 6

I have found that ALL teas discolour mugs just like they discolour your teeth. That's why some dentisits and companies are doing so well with their whitening agents/systems.  Lots of products like Tazo & Celestial Seasonings are really tisanes and not teas. They're actually made from berries, blossoms and leaves from plants other than varieties of actual tea.
