Yorkshire Gold is the best.
Great alternatives are Lancashire tea, and Farrer's Lakeland tea.

While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.

Mass Market tea rankings:


Twinings everyday (GOAT of all teas)
Yorkshire (good tea, acceptable substitute)
PG tips (comes in pyramids, tea for guests)
Tetley (to be drink on hospital night shifts only)
Typhoo (do not drink)

Lipton requires excavation equipment to be correctly ranked down in the bowels of the earth

Sounds like a crisp descriptor. That said, I do like a good cup of "Dangerously Cheesy", by which I mean the milks gone off.

I got given a Whittards advent calendar last year, so got to try some of their other teas I wouldn’t have looked at before. Their mango and bergamot tea was my surprise favourite, and is worth your time.

Twinings also stopped doing just Camomile Tea (at least, at Morrisons) and instead is all different flavours so I've had to try their stupid "unwind/relax/time out whatever" mixed box so I could figure out which one was tolerable. The spiced apple w/ camomile wasn't too bad but still, it's frustrating STOP CHANGING THINGS

in the vaguest sense, i guess. it's smoked tea, supposed to be smoked over fishnets (presumably hence the salmon)

give supermarket teabags a go if you see any, as i figure they're most likely to not be oversmoked. i got some loose leaf once that just tasted of cigarette ash

in terms of other smokey teas there's keemun or russian caravan, which i think tend less smoky. whittards don't seem to keem anymore, but they do have russian caravan
