Graham, one of our British friends, has just returned from a visit home for the holidays. He brought us some PG Tips tea, which he says is his favorite.

Here's our verdict. The Lifeboat tea is more like what JtS is used to back home in Newfoundland. We both find it to be much heartier and more earthy and robust. I think it makes a good morning (wake up) tea. The PG Tips has a more delicate, flowery fragrance and flavor, and I think it would make a lovely afternoon or evening tea. I like the Lifeboat tea with whole wheat biscuits (I think scones would be good with it, too), but I think the PG Tips would be great with all kinds of confections, cakes, or pastries.
