Popular Post northsouthdevide Posted May 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2021 Since tesco stopped stocking thier own brand tea bags, I've resorted to buying typhoon from lazada.... They're probably my least favourite, but out of Yorkshire, pg tips and tetley, (all available) they were the cheapest option. Im thinking about stocking up on the tetley next time I order. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilmah are an improvement on Lipton's, mind you, so are dust sweepings off the floor. Why not drink PG Tips here? I do.

GrandPapillon Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Not sure how much they cost in Thailand, but they do taste better, that is Lipton back in Europe, they taste like <deleted>, so I always buy a box in TESCO and bring them back Edited May 16, 2021 by GrandPapillon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 ^^^ I'm gonna try the Typhoo 80 bags for 135bht. That's about the same price as the Tesco Original I was buying before they stopped stocking it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazada is where I buy my tea from these days. It is worth mentioning that some of the sellers on Lazada regularly sell out of tea bags so OP, if you are a prolific tea drinker then it maybe prudent to buy a few boxes rather than just one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) The expat stores in Pattaya have a good choice and at least one delivers. I'd never touch Lipton or any of the other available ones again. Siamsburis for example Edited May 16, 2021 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 PG Tips. Normally 199 baht for 40 from Villa, but a friend found them for me for 95 baht, which is very reasonable considering they are 62 baht (£1.40) in the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good price for the Typhoo One Cup from Lazada. I bought the Typhoo One Cup Special Blend ( Red Box ) for 145 baht in January. A quick look at Lazada and saw some chancer trying to sell the same for 290 baht. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Tesco Premium tea Tesco sold out to a Thai company so you won't always get the real deal stuff here. Lot's of "Tesco own" products now not available but for now at least the major stores have not descended to the level of the regional Tescos. A bit like when Carrefour was taken over, there's still some Farang goods at the Big C Extra that makes it shoppable for Farangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then we had to boil drinking water and it was common to add just a wee bit of tea for color and flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Roiboos is the best tea you can buy in Thailand, available at Tops. Of course at 250 Baht not a steal, but at least it's drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is important though, I don't want to pay more than 2bht/bag. And it needs to be strong enough to use every bag three times. Although I'm not tight! Liptons isn't even strong enough for one cup, no matter how long you leave the bag. Edited May 17, 2021 by BritManToo 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just never think of going in there, I presume there is still one in Central Festival BR Mall? Went in once and the prices put my tail between my legs.
