PG Tips One Cup

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

I’ve had to drink so much PG Tips recently I think I’m becoming numb to how bad it tastes.

PG Tips One Cup is the same old PG Tips taste we all know and loathe, but presented in a handy tampon designed to allow as little diffusion as possible.

The lack of room to move means the [...]

PG Tips Special Blend Tea

Monday, March 26th, 2007

This box of PG Tips Special Brew was one of many filling a reduced shelf in my local Tesco. From the start it doesn’t have all that much going for it.

1. There is a lot of it on the reduced shelf.
2. Its name is reminiscent of tramps favorite, Carlsberg Special Brew.
3. Its PG Tips.

But in [...]

Twinings Everyday Tea

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Twinings Everyday Tea is certainly a tea fit for Steven Fry, wether its suitable for his builder as well is debatable. Indeed, it may not even be compleetly suitable for Fry either. In trying to capture a section of the market Twinings thought they were missing out on they seem to have pleased no-one.

Lancashire tea

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Tea, apparently, has its own wars of the roses. Although it appears that Yorkshire has won by the popular vote, Lancashire continues to throw its hat into the ring.

Being from Liverpool I should naturally favour Lancashire tea to Yorkshire tea, but it would take a lot to dethronemy beloved Yorkshire Tea.

Lancashire tea has the same [...]

PG Tips

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

PG Tips is a piss-poor excuse for tea. heaven knows why its so popular because its easilly the worst every-day tea available. Having said that, its not terrible, after all, its still tea. If it was all that was on offer I would still accept it, although I would think twice.

PG Tips use the [...]

The Rise of Poitical Lying, Peter Oborne

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

This is a review of a book I wrote on Amazon. I Don’t know if they will post it seeing as it implies Oborne wanks over Thatcher (Edit: They did post it, Amazon aren’t afraid of a bit of wanking.), so I posted it here too. I’ve never written a review on Amazon before, but [...]

Clipper Organic Redbush

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

Redbush, or Rooibos as it now seems very middle class to call it, is a naturally sweet and caffene free tea. The overall taste is very soothing and the lack of caffene makes it perfect for a relaxing evening drink that won’t keep you up.

The aroma smells as sweet as the tea tastes. Its full [...]

Twinings Assam

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

Assam is a more ‘standard’ tasting tea, but with the quality blending Twinings gives to all of their teas. This is a brilliant daytime tea, its strong enough to have a classic flavour but not too heavy so as to slow you down. Perfect to relax at the end of a day of work or [...]

Twinings Earl Grey

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

Twinings have been the worlds best tea blenders for 300 years this year, and they still produce a huge range of very British teas.

Twinings were the inventors of Earl Grey tea, after Richard Twining was personally asked by 2nd Earl Grey to blend a tea to match a Chineese blend given to the Earl. Twining [...]

Ty•phoo

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Apparently this tea is ‘full of little oo’s’ and if the advert is to be believed causes you to sound like you’ve been given a surprise fucking/scalded your finger each time you take a mouthful.

That hasn’t yet happend for me, but it is one of the more warming teas I have drunk, its a great [...]
