I get visitors (or people heading back to UK for hols) to bring it back for me! You can get PG Tips but it's nowhere near as good

I've never seen it here. I buy the Waitrose tea, but watch out, they do a decaf version too - the normal version is called Gold (assuming you're not into decaf). I've tried the Twinnings English Breakfast tea and the Boh Cameron Highlands tea but the peeps in the family prefer the Waitrose one (the others are too strong they say)

You can buy it online!
This thread made me laugh. I used to have a FAB friend in HK who I used to meet up with around the region when our husbands where doing triathlons. I always heard her telling the waiters, "no thank you dear, I've got my own teabags, just bring me some water". One day I was having breakfast and she called over to me "Don't drink that rubbish, come join me for some Yorkshire Tea ". Apparently she took her teabags everywhere with her, you can buy them in HK. It was quite amusing to watch this really nice (from Yorkshire of course), really young and trendy woman insisting on her Yorkshire Tea.

I must head off to Mustafa's, as I get visitors to bring them over in vast quantities. Jackson's, Twining's, M&S and Waitrose are all pale immitations. Yorkshire Tea is simply the best bag on the market. (and I'm a Southerner)
PP, you've made my day.

Thanks for the tip on Mustafa's! I must check it out. We've also been relying on guests to bring some over but our stocks are running low and no visitors due for a couple of months... Will let you know if we manage to find some at Mustafa's

Earlier this week I read this thread with interest since, although British, I am not normally a strong tea drinker. I prefer Earl Grey leaving the Yorkshire Tea drinking to my parents in the UK. However I'm now in the first trimester of pregnancy and really sick with it. I now hate Earl Grey and all pale washy teas turn my stomach. As I was passing through Wheelock Place the other day I remembered this thread and bought some strong M&S tea. Woke up very sick this morning, remembered the tea, snipped open the packet....What a relief to find something I actually want and gives a bit of relief. So thanks so much for that recommendation!

You poor love. Yes, a nice cup of strong tea and some toast will make you feel better. Good luck with your pregnancy. If you decide to go decaf later on, the M&S decaf tea is just as tasty as normal tea.
