Tetley tea and teabags

don't know if i'm the first to find this , but i just thought i would let everyone know that i have found Tetley tea in my local Spar today - black tea in four different flavours (mixed fruits, apple/pear, peach etc.) You can also get Jordens Country Crisp cereal as well!!

And your local spar would be where? Grimsby?

Tetley Tea shouldn't taste of flippin peach, anyway.
That's just wrong.

But this isnt standard English Black tea is it..?

topsy, tetly went posh and started doing fruit jobs too.
tetley, diddle liddle deee.
tea bags, diddle liddle deee.
tetley make tea bags, tetley make tea bags,make teaaaaaaaa!

good god, whatever next?

they must have appointed some soft southern jessies to the board of directors

Tetleys is Yorkshire, and Yorkshire folk don't sup peach tea (unless they are posh and from Harrogate).

Yes, Spar has had these for a while, also Tetley Earl Grey tea.

Tetley Earl Grey???
PLEASE tell me you are joking

what's the bloody world coming to
*shakes head in despair*

topsy your posh your from york. anyroad, i get my mum to send me yorkshire tea, which is from taylors of harrogate. plebs and commie pinko students drink tetley.

It's PG Tips for all my British guests.

Pg tips is for builders...

Piss off!

Statterlite fitters too!

aye, them an all! you‘re all hired help with white vans and ladders lad ;-)

my spar is in Sendling

I have also found the original Tetley PG tips - and other stuff: McV Ginger biscuits, Birds custard, Marmite, tropical fruit juice (not the horrible german multi vitamin stuff, but the lovely UK chemical stuff!) etc in the Asia shop next to HIT (they also have a tiny USA section) on the Elsenheimerstr.

I must be "builders" of the IT world then.. PG all the way!

(only since it has replaced my coke addiction though)

IT are builders without the white vans.

don't know what the difference is, but Twinnings tea purchased in Germany is not as good as Twinnings purschased in England. I spend extra have it shipped from the UK

YOu will find Tetley tea in all forms , bags, leaves etc., in the passage at Hauptbahnhof railway station. Sorry that I cant remember the name of the shop,but its owned and run by Indians and is right next to the shop where they sell pasta and so on.

They also sell the PG tips that you speak about too which incidentally is my personal favourite.

But then, Im from somewhere where it doesnt count... and we will drink almost anything!

You can get proper Tetley or PG Tips in most of the Indian shops that are scattered about over the city.
None of that peach muck, though - thank god

I prefer my Tetley in 500ml cans, and it doesnt taste bitter to me. aaahhh the taste of home

That is simply because tea in Germany in general is complete crap. Even the German made English brand tea.

ORDER IT FROM ENGLAND!

That explains a lot - I wondered why the twinings I bought here was as bad as Mesmer. PG tips all the way for me, although in an emergency Jackson's of Picadilly English breakfast is good (Kaufhof) not cheap of course but when you gotta have tea...

well, i know you can go into any asian shop and buy PGtips. There is an english shop in Isartor. If you prefer irish tea you can go to John's Corner shop in Schwabing.

@taffy. which english shop is at Isator???

Hmm I know there's an Irish shop sort of near Isartor (not really, but it's on that side of town on/near Muellerstrasse).

any updates where to buy english teabags now that the irish johns shop has closed

indian shops
that's where i've always bought mine
or one of the persian/kurdish/afghani shops around the hauptbahnhof

I´d forgotten that one - thanks for cheering me up Gideon!

There is a big chinese supermarket in Hohenzollernplatz, they sell English tees,marmite and some other english goodies.

nearly all chinese markets or indian shops sell english tea, marmite...

another one bites the dust. shame that they were nice folks in there, but the concept just never seems to work here somehow.

@coolerking: the Asian shop on the Donnersbergerstr. has PG Tips

Does John's Corner Shop sell them? Do I have to go all the way into Munich?

We're down to our last three bags and I still haven't put in an order - DOH!

(Not that I'm getting desperate. . .)

Not sure where you are, and if Tetley is an absolute requirement, but nearly all of the Asia-Markt shops sell PG Tips. I got some at Rotkreuzplatz the other day, and we used to get them next to Hit in Elsenheimerstr. until the shop closed.

John's Corner Shop is no more - try an Asian/Indian store as mentioned above.

Hmm, not a fan of PG Tips but will try looking in some local asian shops

Thanks

Let the flehvour flood out!


Me too. If I have me pants hanging down round my bum do I have builders bum?


I used to buy mine from there when I lived in Taxisstrasse. I have heard from English Mike who lives in Bag Tölz that there's a Russian market in Wolfratshausen whichsells proper tea bags.

I am also on my last packet of tea bags. Will have to lay out a white cross on the lawn and wait for the RAF to airdrop some emergency rations in.-

Bag Tolz?

Sounds dangerous.

Could post you some PG, Jezza? A box of Barry's Tea (the red, always the red) teethstainer will be mine next week and I must admit that I like that better so I could spare the PG.

Saw Tetley's in Edeka at the weekend in Ebersberg. Maybe they have it in other stores too?

I'll try my local Edeka (Neuaubing) and if I don't find any there, I guess I'll be driving over to Ebersberg tomorrow.

Thanks Boba!

Tetley Tea Bags from Pomeroy & Winterbottom - Isarvorstadt http://www.pomeroy-winterbottom.de/

Aye but the price he charges you could get gold cheaper

I've been to two Edeka's now, with no joy.

Ho hum.

I suppose they are available at the Indian/Asian shops around Karlplatz. "PG Tips" fore sure and many other British tea brands.

I'm afraid I still buy my Tetley teabags from UK after 15yrs of living here (or get whoever is home to bring some) ...never seen them anywhere here before except for an extortionate price in P&W. True that PG tips are available in asian stores...still better than German teabags though.

I just ordered a 240 pack of Tetley's teabags this week via an online shop for EUR10.39. Probably 4 or 5 euros more than you would pay in the UK but a small price to pay for a taste of home. (Still would prefer the alcoholic version. )
