wagh bakri chai.

I agree. Even though Tetley isn't Desi, I used to love their elaichi tea bags.

Lipton.

Went to the UK once and everyone drank kettle tea. It was a travesty.

I get Teamonk and Onlyleaf. Love both, but not sure about their availability outside India.

Using teabags to make Desi tea is blasphemous. I have yet to have a cup where I could have a sip without having the reflex to regurgitate. Use danedar (granulated) tea (You can get Lipton, Tapal etc at a local desi shop), bringing it to a boil first and then cookng at a slow heat for a period of time according to how kadak (strong) you want it.

ur above method - you can tell the difference - back home, but in the UK, as our milk is poor - teabgas are fine.

Ok, So now how do you make ur cuppa,

i oil the kettle but not till its end - i use 35% water - put in 2 longh, good 2 pinches of cinnamon, 1 pinch of ginger, 1 star anise.- leave it along with a lid/plate ontop of pan- for 3mins, put teabags in for 4 mins - again still on medium heat-with lid/plate on pan. add 65% very warm milk - add sugar leave again for 3 mins - till it boils- squeeze tea bags -remove bags - before poring into a ceramic mug - make sure mug is warm with hot water from kettle.

enjoy

GeeBees masala chai is the closest instant premix to actual authentic pot brewed. Tried the Wagh Bakri a few times and the spices were too weak for my liking.

PG tips has fell off imo.

Yorkshire tea is now the daddy. However has to be the Pakistani tea my dad makes non of that kettle crap.
