PG Tips has been one of Britain's most iconic tea brands since 1930, when Arthur Brooke first blended what he called Pre-Gestive Tea in Manchester. Gold is the premium step up from the Original - a luxurious blend of Rwandan, Kenyan, and Assam teas, blended by master blenders at their Trafford Park factory using only the top two leaves and a bud from each plant. Every estate is Rainforest Alliance Certified. Rich, full-bodied, and smooth with a golden character that is noticeably more refined than the Original. The Rwanda and Kenya teas bring brightness and warmth, the Assam adds malt and depth. Still unmistakably PG Tips - just at its most polished. Works beautifully with milk or without. If you enjoy PG Tips Gold, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same golden, full-bodied premium everyday cup - smooth, rich, and satisfying. 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 if you like. It holds up beautifully. No sugar needed but it pairs well if you take it. How does it compare? Lighter: PG Tips Original Similar to Yorkshire Gold Similar to Dorset Sunshine Blend PG Tips Original is the lighter everyday option from the same brand if Gold feels too full-bodied for all-day drinking. Yorkshire Gold is the closest direct competitor - both are premium gold blends built on East African and Assam origins with the same polished, refined character. Dorset Sunshine Blend shares the same Rift Valley and Assam provenance with a similar award-winning everyday quality.
