To be honest I mainly bought this for its badass dragon box. I also enjoy white tea and can not usually find many blends with raspberry in them. I find the flavour to be more raspberry than white tea and the raspberry tastes a little synthetic but overall its quite lovely. Additionally, I don’t like that this doesn’t have a string on the tea bag. Petty, I know. The box also says to use boiling water which is entirely incorrect. White tea is far to delicate to be used in 100 degree water. I suggest using 80 degrees so ensure you don’t get any bitter, nasty flavours.
Flavors: Raspberry
Preparation
This is better than some other cheap white tea teabags, and probably quite ok for the price, but has none of the flavour of a decent white tea. In it’s favour it can be steeped for a good while before becoming bitter which is rare with cheap whites, what little taste it does have isn’t unpleasant, and for the price you can’t expect much. But if you want decent white tea with real sweetness and subtlety look elsewhere.
I’m currently mired in the second worst bout of flu I’ve ever had in my life. It’s awful, and it’s not going anywhere with anything resembling speed. This means that, other than Lemsip, I’m just drinking bog-standard Clipper Organic Everyday. I can’t taste, and wouldn’t enjoy, anything else right now, but this is plain, strong, straightforward stuff (and great with milk). While it’s not what I’d normally choose, it’s being my friend while I’m ill.
Hopefully I’ll be back to normal soon sigh
Preparation
Got this yesterday as part of my present from my aunt. I really like chai teas and it’s probably only tea that I drink with milk. First time I steeped this only 3mins but it wasn’t strong enough so this time 5mins.
Clippers teas might be only bagged tea mark that I like, also their ideology and using fair trade and organic is the best. This tea is actually quite spicy, which I like since if it’s too mild it doesn’t fit with milk. I need milk with my chai, it gives some body and sweetness to it. Good substitute for glogg, and suits with winter and christmas.
Flavors: Spices
Preparation
Possibly the best lazy breakfast tea there is. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another bagged tea like it. The Rington’s Connoisseur teabags are also great, but they don’t have anything flavoured like this one. The bergamot is super strong, and it brews up in seconds. I take it with milk, but it’s drinkable without. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t like bergamot, or strong citrus flavours!
VE Day 2020
Yikes, I’d forgotten just how strong this tea is! The bergamot is super powerful and as soon as the water hit the teabag I was transported back to a different time in my life. When I lived in Yorkshire, I visited a flatmate’s family in Sheffield often, and this was always the tea they had. Now I can’t drink it without being reminded of them. It’s not one I could drink often, as it is so powerful, but for a bagged black tea it really is one of the best I’ve tried. Very fitting for today – a strong English cuppa.
Preparation
Mmmm. This tea is often in my cupboard, so I don’t usually bother to take it out, although I thought I should for my sipdown challenge.
This is hands-down my favourite traditional Earl Grey. It is a staple in my house and the houses of extended family members (it now strongly reminds me of Frank’s family every time I drink it, as they have it more often than unflavoured black tea). Clipper is one of the better brands of teabags usually found in British supermarkets, and I prefer to buy these when we run out of EG when I can afford it. The bergamot is very strong, as is the base tea, which is good for me as I love strong teas. The citrus-y bergamot has a lingering almost orange note, which adds a lovely extra dimension. I wish we had some of these in at the moment – writing up this note is giving me cravings!
Sipdown! (16/203)

Brewed infusion has a juicy aroma with sweetness.
Hibiscus is overpowering and drowns out sweet fruity flavour. Underneath the hibiscus, there is a good mix of punchy berry favour. Overall sour because of the hibiscus.
Flavors: Berry, Sour, Sweet
Preparation
I found Clipper teas the other day at a local grocery store! They had maybe 6 flavoured white teas. Have you tried any of those ones? :)
I’ll definitely be on the lookout! I was pretty impressed with their bagged breakfast blend. I’m trying to find something that I can drink at school so it has to be able to withstand the incredibly hot water that they have in the student lounge and cafeteria.
I know it takes more work, but you can always put some ice in your cup before you add the hot water, just so it’s a little cooler. This would be assuming that the cafeterias have ice thingies for pop like they do over here. :)
That’s a really great idea! We don’t have any of those ice dispensers on campus but they do have chilled filtered water available… BRILLIANT! Thank you thank you! I won’t feel so restricted in my on campus tea choices anymore. I am, however, still tempted to bring a thermometer with me… probably not the best idea- you should have seen my flatmates’ faces when they saw a thermometer in the kettle.
Haha. That’s so awesome. I’d love to see some peoples reactions. :D
I’m usually not that fond of herbal infusions but this one is amazing. The flavour is rich and spicy but has a soft, round sweetness. The scent reminds me of a pumpkin spice syrup I bought at a market last fall.
I must add that liquorice root in itself makes me gag, but in this tea it’s well balanced. The fennel is noticeable but not overpowering.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Fennel Seed, Ginger, Pumpkin Spice, Spices, Sweet
Preparation
Having drunk PG nearly all of my life this last year or so been trying other ‘everyday’ tea bags available from supermarkets, pretty much all of them! I drink my tea with milk and 2 sugars always, I’ve searched for reviews and this site comes up often for help, anyway I love this tea so much so its worth a quick review! not tried the fair trade one yet just this organic version, I know its pretty expensive in comparison with other teas but I’m a huge fan, just don’t seem to get the bitterness in this like others and defiantly has a freshness taste about t -maybe the lack of bitterness? always leave the bag in for 3-4mins with a good stir, works well for us, even blind taste testing the missus she picks this :)
Preparation
Quite pleasant and relaxing. Has a grassy, slightly tangy flavour. After having read many reviews that mention “bitterness” I was expecting a different taste – but there was no bitterness at all. It has a nice smell out of the box as well.
Flavors: Grass, Herbs, Tangy
Preparation
Currently, this is my favorite herbal. I brought it back from England, so that’s why. Good memories. It would be nice to find someplace that sells it here, I like it.
What’s my friends’ favorite herbal teas? I think I am on the prowl for something good for when I run out, if I can’t find this.
Flavors: Hibiscus, Pineapple
