The post started with: “Yes this is what I’ve got up to on a dull Tuesday night to really spice things up.”<\/p>\n

They had then taken a tea bag from each box and muddled up the order.<\/p>\n

In the tea brands, they included: Twinings English Breakfast, Ty-Phoo, Yorkshire Tea, Tetley, ASDA Essentials Tea, and PG Tips.<\/p>\n

The pair took a picture of each box to help them remember which was which in the rankings.<\/p>\n

They continued: “We naturally thought the best-tasting tea was PG tips but were blown away at the reveal.<\/p>\n

“We ranked them as follows:<\/p>\n

“ASDA brand<\/p>\n

“Yorkshire Tea<\/p>\n

“Twinings<\/p>\n

“PG Tips<\/p>\n

“Tetley<\/p>\n

“Ty-Phoo<\/p>\n

“When we saw the top-ranked tea was ASDA, and that we placed PG in 4th (was a little obnoxiously bitter) couldn’t believe it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The user then admitted she only guessed that Ty-Phoo would come last in the rankings with the colour being “something you’d find dripping through the drain of a washing machine.”<\/p>\n

Harsh!<\/p>\n

Despite, the scathing review, they also said that all the other teas were a “nice gold.”<\/p>\n

The post continued: “I feel like I’m questioning everything, and we realised our opinions of teas are coloured less by their taste, and more by our pre-conceptions (except for Ty-phoo, an absolute pover-tea).<\/p>\n

“But yes now we have 100s of tea bags to get through so will have to find a suitable home for some.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The ranking saw people take to the comment section of the thread with one person writing: “Could some brands require more or less time to brew? Particularly with the overly bitter or insipid ones?<\/p>\n

“Regardless, fascinating work and good job.”<\/p>\n

But it turns out the tea taste test can help you save some money as one user shared: “My wife (a non tea drinker) made me do this, and I couldn’t tell the difference between Tetley and Tesco basics. So now I get basics and save a good few quid each time.”<\/p>\n

A third said: “We made the mistake (or maybe not) of trying Rington’s Gold tea. We no longer buy anything else and have started buying it in 400 bag boxes (catering size).<\/p>\n

“Definitely worth picking some up to add to your experiment.”<\/p>\n

Another commented: “I knew Yorkshire Tea would be up there because i reckon I’m the best TEA CONNOISSEUR.”<\/p>\n

And finally, someone added: “Asda being top is a surprise, but anyone would be a fool for thinking PG tips is better than Yorkshire.”<\/p>\n

Has this taste test swayed your next purchase?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
