I tried tea bags from Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and more — a £1.99 box beat Yorkshire Tea

Like most people in the UK, I start each day with a strong cup of tea and can easily fill my mug half a dozen times throughout my workday. There is nothing quite like a strong cuppa, and I have decided to look at the best own-brand tea bags from UK supermarkets to see who has the best brew that is worth the cost.
My usual go-to is Yorkshire Tea bags, but at Tesco, a pack of 210 now costs £5.49, while 80 bags cost £3.30. I really wanted to see if there was a cheaper alternative that was more value for money while still being tasty enough to help wake me up in the morning.
Which supermarket sells the best tea bags?
Morrison's — £1.75 for 80 tea bags
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my cup of tea from Morrison’s. After adding the milk, the first thing I noticed was that it was paler than any other tea I drank, despite being brewed for the same time. It also had a strange milky film on the stop, which did not look very appealing.
I took a sip and it was pretty flavourless but had a slightly bitter aftertaste. In my opinion, it was not nice to drink, and as a major tea lover, I was disappointed.
Both Lidl and Aldi were a little more expensive than Morrison’s, but you can buy more tea bags that seem to be of better quality. Morrison's tea was really weak, and I don't think it was worth the money.
