ever tried T2?

joshvm 7y ago
We've been using Tea Pigs which is pretty good (and about half the price of T2). Not sure I could taste the difference at that price point, but we have a T2 locally.

  Good Grief T2 are pricey! Try these guys: https://www.johnwatt.co.uk https://www.johnwatt.co.uk Great selection, coffees too. Online ordering seems to cover the main European nations. We have a shop nearby, so can't comment on delivery etc.

  No opinion on the quality of their tea, but Tea Pigs was the first brand which came to mind when I read 'plastic teabag': https://www.teapigs.co.uk/tea/shop-by-category/black/single-estate-breakfast-tea.htm https://www.teapigs.co.uk/tea/shop-by-category/black/single-...

    They claim they don't use plastic at all, not even for packaging: https://www.teapigs.co.uk/about/sustainability-and-values https://www.teapigs.co.uk/about/sustainability-and-values

      That's an excellent page - I wish I had found that while I was browsing around. I've long been suspicious of the materials of these 'luxury' teabags (but that's probably the traditionalist in me). EDIT: in fact, looking at this page[1], it seems they might be one of the only ones who do make a biodegradable bag ... 1. https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/is-your-favourite-tea-made-with-plastic/ https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/is-your-favourite-tea-mad...

T2 is all about drowning out a mid-grade tea with random fruity flavors. Their actual high-quality teas are dangerously overpriced. I guess they make an okay Earl Grey, but I'm not a huge fan of the brand generally. Try Lupicia (which has retail shops in the Bay Area), or Rare Tea Co, or Kettl, or something.

  can you expand on _something_? I'd love to try out all those you're familiar with and recommend

  There is one flavour from T2 that's the best tea I have ever had. Too bad it costs $50 for their small box.
