We've been using Tea Pigs which is pretty good (and about half the price of T2).

Not sure I could taste the difference at that price point, but we have a T2 locally.

No opinion on the quality of their tea, but Tea Pigs was the first brand which came to mind when I read 'plastic teabag': https://www.teapigs.co.uk/tea/shop-by-category/black/single-...

They claim they don't use plastic at all, not even for packaging:

That's an excellent page - I wish I had found that while I was browsing around. I've long been suspicious of the materials of these 'luxury' teabags (but that's probably the traditionalist in me).

EDIT: in fact, looking at this page[1], it seems they might be one of the only ones who do make a biodegradable bag ...

Good Grief T2 are pricey!

Try these guys: https://www.johnwatt.co.uk Great selection, coffees too. Online ordering seems to cover the main European nations.

We have a shop nearby, so can't comment on delivery etc.

T2 is all about drowning out a mid-grade tea with random fruity flavors. Their actual high-quality teas are dangerously overpriced. I guess they make an okay Earl Grey, but I'm not a huge fan of the brand generally.

Try Lupicia (which has retail shops in the Bay Area), or Rare Tea Co, or Kettl, or something.

There is one flavour from T2 that's the best tea I have ever had. Too bad it costs $50 for their small box.

can you expand on _something_? I'd love to try out all those you're familiar with and recommend
