Question 1

How much caffeine does the Regular Typhoo tea have per cup?

Accepted Answer

I have some info for you below, but... Shipe? That, to me, is an unusual name. I had a music theory teacher at Nassau Community College named Charles (I think his buds called him Chuck-might be mistaken) Shipe. He also played pipe organ and directed the choir at a church in Cold Spring Harbor LI NY. I know that cause he "volunteered" me to sing with his group one Easter. He then "volunteered" me again to sing many of the tenor soli to GF Handel's The Messiah. Anyway, it would be so cool if you knew him. He was one of the finest of many teachers I've had in my musical studies over many years. He was also a quality guy, a good man. SO rare nowadays. MY email (re: Charles Shipe) if you care to respond is bassrep@gmail.com Thanks for reading...Tea, as in tea in tea bags is typically 33-50mg per cup. This UK/US conversion, with tea, is interesting. Most UK sites say a "cuppa" is 190ml or 6.4 oz. Some say 200ml, closer to 6.5 oz. USA calls a cup of joe or tea 6 oz. Semantics, well, math. ANYWAY, some DOCS are saying, specifically, Typhoo is 75mg. That would make it the strongest tea in the world times 150%. Love to know differences in USDA vs. UK Authorities, but I'm not finding much nut info on any UK teas. But, Typhoo company, which is actually a big multinational over there, defers to The Tea Advisory Panel. Now don't you feel more secure?! The T.A.P. says: Brewed/Drip coffee 75mg Instant (UGH!) Coffee 50mg and Tea at 25mg. However, and dig this language: "FSA Food Surveillance Unit. In this survey caffeine in a serving of tea, as brewed by adults in the UK, was found to be typically 33mg in a 190ml cup." I've seen a few folks talk about the differences, by nation, in tea brewing techniques. Great info at TAP http://www.teaadvisorypanel.com/tea-and-health/health-facts So, D Shipe, after all of my blabber mouthing... I'm going with 33mg per 6.5 oz. cup. Which, not so surprisingly is only a few 1,000ths off the 40mg in an 8 oz. cup per Pjtug

Question 2

Several questions: stronger than the new pg tips? not marketed to usa? pyramid bags? strong?! good with milk and honey?

Accepted Answer

I prefer them to PG tips. they are stronger. You can purchase them in the USA but they are imported from the UK. Bags are strong and they come packed 60 to a package. I use milk with milk but no honey or sugar. Most peop;e use sugar.
