Welcome to our virtual TeaRoom. Please share what is in your cup today.
Yesterday in a rather animated discussion, "comforting" was the term of choice of more responders than any other. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Today's TeaRoom TeaPoll and discussion topic, what's your bag? OK, you are marooned on an island and some cargo floats ashore, good news and bad news. Suddenly you can have tea again as inside a crate is a large selection supermarket grade TeaBags! So, choose your poison? Lipton, Tetley, Red Rose, Bigelow, Celestial Seasoning, or do you abstain?
I am looking forward to sharing TeaDay with everyone, so, bottoms up!

Red Rose is pretty good. Celestial Seasoning's "Devonshire English Breakfast" blend is sufficiently strong. Would prefer Twining's or PGTips...
On this island, there better be coconut shells and fresh water and sugar cane, otherwise I'd be sucking on a dry tea bag and that would be
No tea yet...still trying to pry family out of bed so we can go get breakfast.

Well, my Englishman husband makes PG Tips all the time, and hence I drink it fairly often too - "well mashed" - so I suppose I would vote for that.
I'm sure someone is going to point out the omission of Yorkshire Gold, BTW. I know it's not that easy to come by in North America, but I have many friends (especially expat Britons) who swear by it.
In my cup... er... PG Tips

By the way, this reminds me of something... oh yes, it's Mrs Doyle of Father Ted, buying her week's worth of tea at the local grocery:

NEXT! ... maybe matcha ...I would choose Red Rose. That's what I grew up with. I can't buy Red Rose here in Colorado but my aunt in Maine sends me a box of 100 two or three times a year so I get my fix. I carry Red Rose tea bags to school with me. A cup of "tea" costs $1.37 but a cup of hot water costs twenty-seven cents. 
If I'm going to have a cup of marginal tea, it might as well be my favorite brand of marginal. And Red Rose is pretty good when it comes to tea bag tea.
