To steer this back to TWG, although not really in a positive way, I personally feel that their bags don't provide sufficient "oomph" to make a proper cup of, say, English Breakfast - and I don't take my tea particularly strong. I should perhaps do a proper scientific comparison

I agree, TWG's English Breakfast blend is cr*p. Couldn't stand up to a fry-up.
If you wean yourself from milk in your tea, nickbot, you might find a breakfast tea that surpasses your beloved PG Tips (I agree too that Twinings Everyday merits a mention in the 'taken with milk' category). It's the Palace Breakfast blend from Tea Palace (I was told the InterContinental London serves it).‘Lean into the sharp points’

I was most disappointed after "treating" myself to a box of TWG English Breakfast tea bags (at not insignificant cost) to come to this negative realisation; oddly enough, I actually have a pleasant memory of TWG E.B. tea when I drank it in T2 and T3 SKL J last year, both occasions when prepared in a mug.Last edited by nickbot; 12 September 2010, 04:26 AM.

Perhaps I worded my original statement poorly - there are some teas, taken black, which I can take - namely fruit infusions, green, jasmine and Earl Grey at a push

But back to the topic: My companion had a chamomile tea (she was developing a cold) from the TWG selection and we were really baffled by the huge amount of chamomile flowers in the fabric bag. This was definitely the greatest experience I've ever had with infusions (and I'm not using the word "tea" here ).
