You can drink us both guilt free #BlackLivesMatter 9:50 PM · Jun 8, 2020 although all tea brands i think really comes from the same plantations and steeped in slavery and colonialism Edited February 22, 2023 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you about Typhoo, I think Yorkshire Tea is okay, but over priced. Twinings are okay, but need to be left a while to brew. Been years since I had PG tips so can't comment. Rington's tea is nice - if you can get hold of it. I agree with you about the Sandwich shop at Pond Street bus station - overpriced, crap quality, and service with a scowl. I can enjoy Yorkshire tea,but my long time preference is Ringtons. They still deliver on a regular basis in he Sheffield area. I suppose you do get used to a particular brew,as do with beer.

I know that Taylor's of Harrogate, who own YT, give donation to the Tory Party. I mean that doesn't preclude them from supporting BLM, nevertheless I am surprised.

My lad drinks tea, I'm more a coffee man but he's banned from YT and PGT. I'm of the opinion that anyone who supports blm gets absolutely zero money from me👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
