The stronger end of the shelf

British everyday tea covers a real range, and Typhoo sits towards the robust end of it. There is more malty depth and more of a definite bite than in the smoother blends, which is what people mean when they describe a tea as proper or strong.

That makes it the better choice if you take your tea with a generous amount of milk, because it has the body to survive it. It also makes it less forgiving: over-brew a strong blend and you get astringency, where a smoother tea would simply get darker.

Typhoo, briefly

The brand dates to 1903 and comes from Birmingham, which puts it among the oldest names still on the British tea shelf. It has spent its entire existence as an everyday tea rather than a premium one, and its identity is bound up with that.

British tea brands carry a surprising amount of regional and class association, and Typhoo's is firmly working everyday rather than special occasion. That is not a criticism in Britain; it is the point.

240 bags is the right quantity to import

Tea is one of the few things where buying the enormous box genuinely makes sense for a transatlantic order. It is light for its volume, it keeps well in a sealed container, and 240 bags at British strength is a couple of months for a household that drinks tea properly.

Making it well in American water

Boiling water, bag first, three to four minutes, squeeze, cold milk last. If it tastes thinner than you remember, the water is the likely culprit rather than the tea, and an extra thirty seconds usually fixes it.

A strong blend like this is the more resilient choice in soft water, since there is more in the leaf to extract in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

How strong is Typhoo?

Towards the robust end of British everyday tea, with more malty depth than the smoother blends.

How many bags?

Two hundred and forty, at 750g total.

Typhoo or Tetley?

Typhoo if you want a strong cup and take plenty of milk. Tetley if you want the more forgiving blend.

Will it taste the same in American water?

Possibly not, and it is worth knowing why. British blends are formulated against British water, much of which is hard. Softer American water pulls a different balance out of the same leaf, so a familiar tea can taste thinner. Brewing a little longer usually closes the gap.
