I’m sorry to report the continued decline of Aldi’s “Scottish Blend” tea. It is now beyond terrible. Awful. The worst. The worse of the worst. Even worse than that.

Naturally I’m not going to go from an Aldi special to Twinings. I’m not made of money. So, I’m looking for recommendations of a good cheap tea. Ideally one that goes well with your plant milk as well as cow juice.

If possible, Sainsburys, M&S, Aldi, Food Warehouse or Poundies. Maybe Lidl at a stretch. They others are too far away and require me going in the car, and I’m too lazy environmentally conscious for that.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Or Asda! For some reason I forgot that Asda is literally the nearest supermarket to the house.

    Don’t know if Sainsbury’s sell it (Tesco’s do), Clipper Tea is quite nice. Not too expensive either.

      Ah yes. Thanks. I did used to drink Clipper, back before kids when we would buy groceries at a farm shop, it was very nice.

        And their bags don’t contain plastic like most others do.

        Don’t put your standard crap tea bags in the compost.

          Went to Asda and got some Clipper English Breakfast! Looking forward to trying them out. Don’t mind saying I feel like Lord Snooty with my posh tea bags.

        If you’re not opposed to ordering it online, it gets a lot cheaper when you buy in bulk.
