Tetley Tea Bags 100 Pack 200g

The Original Tetley Tea Cup Bag

Sometimes you need a secret tunnel behind the bookcase. Sometimes you just need to disappear with a cup of Tetley.

A reliable, full-bodied tea. An everyday tea. A leave the phone off the hook and leave them a 'do not disturb' note kinda tea. A tea that gives you just enough time to plot your next temporary getaway.

Some people don't quite get the whole "just give me five minutes to enjoy this cuppa in peace" situation. Not to worry. Our new tea bag tags double as 'Do Not Disturb' messages. Leave one on the counter, hang it on a doorknob, or hand them out to repeat interrupters.

In 19837, two brothers decided to stir up the tea industry, by horse. Really. Each morning for 19 years Joseph and Edward Tetley loaded a packhorse with their finest tea and peddled it until the Yorkshire sun set. How did they (and the horse) do it for so long? We have no idea.

Finally they set up shop in London. The horse was gone but the Tetley spirit remained: one part pragmatic attitude, an equal measure of working class roots and a generous spoonful of 'stiff upper lip'.

There you have it. An almost-200-ish year history we're quite proud of.
