Next on our “Breakdown of Brands” series, we want to bring to you PG Tips. Sourced out of the UK/Great Britain, PG Tips has been a Britain novelty since the 1930s. They have a special “Pyramid Bag”, developed in the 1990s, that their teas come packaged in that they like to describe as a mini teapot, allowing the leaves room to infuse. They offer Decaf tea, Fruit tea, Herbal tea and Green teas. 2005 was PG Tips 75th birthday, so they must be doing something right!
Their leaves are 100% natural and environmentally sourced..they are all about helping the planet, which we at English Tea Store love.
In 2006, they introduced “Monkey” as the face of PG Tips.
Monkeys Top Tips:
- Use Fresh Tap Water (more oxygen = fuller flavor)
- If Using Hard Water, Use a Metal Kettle
- Savor Every Sip!

“I am a huge tea drinker. I have tried every tea I ever came across. PG Tips is by far the best tasting tea I have used. It is stronger than most tea bags but not too strong. It’s just perfect. I drink it with honey and a little milk. I was first introduced to PG Tips on one of my trips to England. I couldn’t find it in the U.S. until someone told me about the English tea store.
