I've tried Tesco red label as it won a blind taste test on "Eat Well For Less"

It's OK, but a bit on the harsh side. Their gold label is eminently drinkable, however.

I use Sainsbury's red label blend.
A fine flavoured everyday tea.
I have used this blend for nearly 50 years.

Toasted muffins and seafood cocktail for luncheon, along with a pear, a banana and two

I have finally drunk all of the leaf tea that I discovered my late father had stashed away here there and everywhere, so I have bought some different ones to try.

Today's trial was not a success. I do not like Yorkshire Tea. The flavour is "thin" and one-dimensional, plus it has a strong, bitter undertone which I find unpleasant. I will drink it, but I shan't be buying it again.

'Ere, what do you mean thin?

Alphabet soup, followed by jacket potato with cheese & coleslaw, plus a couple of slices of that beautiful ribeye beef.

Lacking in depth of flavour.

I'm normally an English Breakfast girl when it comes to teabags. Fine for a mug, but when I require a pot, I prefer to use leaf tea. Unfortunately, my local Tesco doesn't have that great a selection of leaf teas. Waitrose does, but their basic teas are twice the price of Tesco Gold.

I don't think even a yard glass would make it taste any better

Have you tried.
Before you make a statement like that!

This is going to turn into a tea version of "green eggs and ham"

I go for Sainsbury's red label tea. An every day tea with a fine flavour.

Me too, about 20 years ago. But, while I admit the Tesco's equivalent to red label is serviceable but unsophisticated, Sainsburys red label is even less sophisticated. At least that's how I'm guessing @Reynard 's tea tastebuds will react.
