PG Tips Line-up Expanding!

PG Tips has long been one of the most recognizable tea brands in the United Kingdom. Known for its robust blends and distinctive pyramid tea bags, the brand has earned a loyal following among tea drinkers for generations.

In 2014, PG Tips expanded its offerings with new premium blends and herbal infusions, giving tea lovers even more choices for their daily cuppa.

Premium Range

PG Tips developed these blends by using carefully selected tea leaves and processing methods designed to enhance flavor and aroma.

  • The Fresh One
    A blend of Kenyan teas crafted to deliver a smooth, fresh-tasting cup with a bright character and rich color. Its aroma has been compared to freshly baked bread, making it an inviting choice for everyday tea drinking.
  • The Strong One
    A bold blend featuring Kenyan and other African teas. Full-bodied and malty, this tea stands up particularly well to the traditional British additions of milk and sugar.

  • Smooth Red Bush & Vanilla
    South African rooibos is paired with vanilla and accented by hibiscus and cranberry flavors for a naturally caffeine-free, aromatic infusion.
  • Delicate Camomile
    A gentle chamomile-based herbal infusion ideal for relaxing at the end of the day.
  • Refreshing Peppermint
    A clean, caffeine-free peppermint infusion that makes a refreshing alternative to traditional tea or coffee.

The Famous Pyramid Tea Bag

All of these products feature PG Tips’ signature pyramid-shaped tea bag, introduced in the 1990s. The pyramid design provides more room for tea leaves and herbal ingredients to expand during brewing, encouraging better water circulation and fuller flavor extraction.

The tea bags are made from a porous material that allows water to flow freely through the contents, helping the tea or infusion brew quickly and evenly.

The Bottom Line

Whether you prefer a strong traditional black tea, a fresh and smooth breakfast blend, or a caffeine-free herbal infusion, PG Tips offers a variety of options to suit different tastes and occasions.

Try one—or try them all. You may just discover a new favorite.
