Three hundred pyramid tea bags, the largest PG Tips count on the shelf and the cheapest per cup of the four. No net weight is printed on the listing, only the bag count, so the Weight column is left blank. Same-day delivery across the Utrecht region.
Description
PG Tips is the tea Britain drinks without thinking about it, and it turns up in Indian and Pakistani kitchens here for a specific reason: it is strong enough to survive milk. Most supermarket English tea goes thin the moment dairy hits it, which is why families who grew up on pan brewed chai tend to land on this brand rather than a lighter one.
The pyramid shape is not marketing for its own sake. A flat bag pins the leaf against wet paper, while a pyramid gives it room to swirl, so the same weight of tea gives up more in the same two minutes. For a proper strong cup use one bag, squeeze it against the side, then milk. For something nearer chai, use two bags in a pan with milk and water and let it come up to the boil.
How long will 300 bags last? A four cup a day household gets roughly two and a half months out of a box. It is the buy if tea is a daily habit rather than an occasional one.
Can I make masala chai with these? Yes, and it works better than most English tea. Use two bags per pan, add your spices to the water, and boil rather than steep.
If that is more than you need, take the 160 bag box, and the full shelf carries the loose leaf brands too. Vegetarian. Keep the box closed and away from strong smelling spices, because paper bags take up whatever is next to them.
