About PG Tips

PG Tips is a brand of tea in the UK, owned by Unilever, which also owns many other brands of tea, including Lipton. PG Tips came into being in 1930; the brand was invented somewhat accidentally; Arthur Brooke, who founded the Brooke Bond brand, launched a new blend under the name "Pre-Gest-Tea", referencing the idea that tea could aid digestion. Grocers selling this blend began abbreviating it to PG. The term "tips" was then added to emphasize that only top two leaves and a bud of the tea plant were used.

PG Tips is popular in the UK; in the United States it was not originally widely available, but has become more widely sold in recent years.

PG Tips tea is not the same as tippy tea, which often contains a greater proportion of tips and leaf buds than one bud to two leaves.

PG Extra Strong is a no-frills but robustly flavored black tea that delivers a nice punch of tea for about 10 to 11 cents a bag (from an 80-ct box). This British tea (now under the Lipton/Unilever corporate umbrella) was on sale at the World Market where I bought a big box of Typhoo's same-named tea a few years ago. ...

It now has only 70 bags instead of 80. The tea itself does not taste as strong as it did and there is a faint whiff of Bergamot. PG Tips have said they have discontinued th...

First impressions, The smell of raspberry is very welcoming. However, the taste is also full of raspberry that it’s overpowering the subtle hints of green tea. The bitterness of the tea base and the raspberry flavour don’t go well together...

PG Tips is a blend of CTC teas. Most American grocery store teas are "orthodox" teas, however. That's worth knowing for a few reasons.

First, while orthodox production results in leaf pieces of various sizes (dust, fannings, broken leaf, whole leaf), the CTC machines produce small, uniform pellets. One thing that me...

A trip to London introduced me to this brand. I must say I enjoy the black tea it offers. I prefer with milk and sugar. Very affordable to the average tea drinker.
