Glengettie has been Wales's favourite tea since 1952, when it was first developed for Welsh miners who needed a proper, strong cup to get through the day. The blend has barely changed since - Kenyan teas for rich colour and distinctive flavour, Assam for brisk strength, and specifically designed to work with Wales's naturally soft water. Full-bodied, malty, and satisfying with a rich, dark brew. The kind of tea that holds up to a heavy splash of milk and still has character to spare. A generational favourite that has been passed down through Welsh households for over 70 years. Foil sealed teabags keep every bag fresh. If you enjoy Glengettie, our Scotch and Abram's Scottish Breakfast is our take on that same bold, no-nonsense character - full-bodied, robust, and built to start the day. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk. This tea is built for it. A longer steep brings out the full malty character. How does it compare? Similar to Typhoo Similar to Barry's Master Blend Similar to Builder's Tea Typhoo is the closest mainstream comparison - both are bold, everyday British teas with a strong malty character. Barry's Master Blend is the closest Irish equivalent in terms of strength and body. Builder's Tea is worth comparing if you want something with a similar no-nonsense, workday character.
