Description
Tetley and PG Tips have split British kitchens between them for decades, and the difference is real if slight: Tetley brews a touch lighter and less malty, which some people read as smoother and others as weaker. It is worth knowing which side you fall on before committing to three hundred bags of either.
The round bag is the traditional format and lies flat in the mug, so it wants a slightly longer steep than a pyramid to give up the same strength. Two and a half minutes rather than two, then a squeeze. For milk chai in a pan use two bags, and expect a gentler result than the same number of Indian CTC teaspoons would give.
How does it compare with PG Tips? Lighter and less malty in the cup. If you take your tea strong with plenty of milk, PG Tips holds up better; if you find that harsh, this is the smoother box.
Round bags or pyramid bags, does it matter? A little. Pyramids let the leaf move so they brew faster. Round bags get to the same place with an extra thirty seconds.
The obvious comparison is the PG Tips 300 box, and the rest of the aisle holds the Indian and Pakistani leaf. Vegetarian. Keep the box closed and away from strong smelling spices, because paper bags take up whatever is next to them.
