Typhoo British Black Tea

Typhoo delivers a bold, brisk cup with authentic British tea character—the kind of strong, flavourful brew you'd expect from a proper British cuppa. What really stands out is how smooth it is, even when you accidentally leave the bag in too long. It doesn't turn bitter like many black teas do when overbrewed, making it very forgiving for everyday brewing.

This is actually excellent for beginners! The forgiving nature of Typhoo is one of its biggest strengths—you can overbrew it without ending up with a bitter, undrinkable cup. The simple paper teabag format is straightforward, and you'll get consistent results every time. Plus, with 120 teabags at this price point, it's a low-risk way to explore British-style black tea.

Don't let the approachable nature fool you—this tea has the bold, brisk strength that serious tea enthusiasts appreciate. Multiple long-time tea drinkers specifically mention its 'very flavourful' and strong character. The authentic British tea taste makes it suitable for daily, long-term consumption without getting boring. It's that rare combination of being beginner-friendly while still delivering the robust flavor experienced tea drinkers want.

Typhoo offers excellent value, especially when you consider you're getting 120 teabags of a consistently good British tea. Several reviewers specifically called out the good price point. You're not sacrificing quality for quantity here—the tea stays fresh thanks to good packaging, and the reliable flavor means you won't waste bags on disappointing cups.

The beauty of Typhoo is its flexibility—use freshly boiled water and steep for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like it. Because it doesn't go bitter easily, you can adjust to your taste without worry. For the full British experience, add a splash of milk after brewing. The smooth, flavourful character holds up beautifully whether you take it with milk and sugar or prefer it straight.
