The verdict

Where this pick fits.

The other British staple. Blended from Assam, Rwandan, and Kenyan leaves — rounder and smoother than PG Tips, built for the kettle and the mug rather than the pot. The kind of tea that disappears into the morning without asking to be noticed.

Rounder than PG Tips. Disappears into the morning without asking. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
