Typhoo has been making tea in Britain since 1903, when a Birmingham grocer first blended what became one of Britain's most enduring household tea brands. So enduring that it became a staple in British Army ration packs from the First World War - a familiar comfort in the most unfamiliar of circumstances. Today's Typhoo is 100% pure black tea sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified gardens in Kenya, blended and packed in the UK. The blend has recently been refined under new ownership for a fuller flavour and smoother finish. Ethical Tea Partnership member. Kosher certified. Bold, full-bodied, and well-rounded with a smooth finish. Strong enough to start the morning, smooth enough to drink all day without ever feeling aggressive. The kind of no-nonsense British cup that has been on kitchen counters for over 120 years - and earned its place there. If you enjoy Typhoo, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same bold, smooth everyday cup - medium bodied, rich, and satisfying. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 1 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk and sugar to taste. Works morning, afternoon, or evening. How does it compare? Similar to Yorkshire Tea Similar to PG Tips Similar to Glengettie Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips are the closest mainstream comparisons - all three are bold, no-nonsense British everyday blends with a devoted following. Glengettie shares the same pure Kenyan character and the same working-class British heritage that made these teas household staples.
