TyPhoo Decaf - 80 Bags

Typhoo has been one of Britain's everyday teas for generations, the box that sits next to the kettle in kitchens up and down the country. The decaf is the one that comes out after dinner, when the regular stuff would be asking for trouble.

People in Canada go looking for it because a cup of tea is personal. You want the one your mum made, the one that tasted right at the end of a long day, and a tea from home lands differently when home is an ocean away.

Eighty bags in a box, which is a decent run of evenings even in a house that drinks tea like it is a sport. Keep the box closed in a dry cupboard away from anything strong-smelling, and it stays as it should. Boil the kettle properly, give it a couple of minutes, then milk to taste.

A decaf brew wants a biscuit, and most people pick up a packet of Rich Tea or digestives with it. Some keep a box of regular Typhoo next to it for the mornings, so the house runs on one tea all day.
