Tea pigs anyone?

[Kite_Rider]

I love tea pigs teas and have been drinking them for years now, best tea ever I reckon. Anyone else?
I've just had a delivery of new flavours... the 'happy' tea is devine, but the 'up beet' doesn't do it for me.

I always think of you when I visit a certain tea room in Kirkwall. They have a menu full of tea pigs! Mr T and I sometimes pop in after shopping and have one of their home made scones with cream - and tea

 

[newforest]

Yes I like them.
My problem is if I happen to have lunch out and order something like this, it always tastes a hundred times better than at home!

....ermm please ...what are these tea pigs you speak of? I am an Earl Grey person myself but would love to know what I am missing out on?

Oooh never tried tea pigs or ever heard of them Can i buy them in Tesco's I wonder ?

 

[Cortrasna]

Oooh I might order some of those - especially like the look of the extra strong Earl Grey. the one I use is a bit wishy washy - thanks Nf

I excitedly thought this was a thread about tea cup pigs! I don't drink tea, but I like the name!

I love both tea pigs and teacup pigs so either way I'm all good

You might get them but they will probably only have one or two different flavours.

Amazon do them don't they?

 

[Star the Fell]

Never heard of them!
My first thought was the same as @Ale miniature pigs that can fit in a tea cup

Our regional supermarket, Booths, stock quite a good range of them. I did a double take at one fancy variety - forget the name, something exotic. £20 a box!! -Put me right off.

I think they do but check the price, even with amazon prime they may be more than buying direct from teapigs.

At £20 a box they are making a massive mark up. I wouldn't buy them if they cost that much.

I've not tried the extra strong Earl Grey, just because I think they would be too strong for me, I like Earl Grey but tea pigs tea is very full of flavour, in fact I use one bag twice and the second cup is always as nice as the first! Not that IM tight or anything but I don't like waste.

Sorry to disappoint you They do herb teas too Ale, one of my favorites is chamomile. For what it's worth, I've never heard of tea cup pigs!

I got some teapigs in tescos, I decided on the Mao feng green tea but I am not that keen, i will drink it but next time I will try something different. It smells and tastes a bit meaty..and i'm a veggie so not the best for me..I know it can't be meaty but that's the only way I can describe it

Not tried the green tea as Im not a fan of it in general, maybe the teapigs one is a bit stronger than most, but no idea why it would taste meaty, sounds quite revolting!

I bought Twinnings Lemon and Ginger. Assisted with a decent squeeze of honey.
For my possible lurgy.
