People who regularly drink tea while revising
If you often make the same black tea, a box of 80 tea bags can be a handy way to stock up. Carrefour and Joybuy list PG Tips Original in this size, with 232 g of tea.
Who is this option for?
People who prefer plain black tea
Check the ingredients before choosing between a plain blend and a flavoured tea. Joybuy’s listing for PG Tips Original, 80 tea bags, names black tea as the ingredient.
People who are mindful of their sleep
If you study late into the evening, think about when you have your last cup and how much caffeine you consume from other sources. Anses says caffeine can delay falling asleep, and its effects vary from person to person.
What should you look for?
A box of 80 tea bags suits a routine built around the same tea. Auchan also stocks Lipton Yellow Label in a 100-bag box if the exact number matters less. If you’d like to switch between blends, it’s worth looking at the smaller sizes from Twinings, Kusmi Tea and Yate.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Tea bag supply | Compare the number of tea bags and the net weight. Make sure you can reseal the box after opening. | If I often make the same tea, I want to have a supply without buying several boxes. Around 42% of consumers would make this their top priority. |
| Taste and variety | Read the ingredients to tell plain black tea apart from flavoured blends before choosing a larger size. | If I might get bored of just one blend, I’d rather be able to switch between different flavours. Taste would be the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Caffeine and timing | Consider what time you drink your tea and whether you have other caffeinated drinks. | If I’m revising late, I want to avoid a cup of black tea disrupting my sleep. This would be the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
Things to bear in mind
-
Assuming every large box contains 80 tea bags
The sizes mentioned range from small boxes to packs of 50, 80 or 100 tea bags. A box of 100 won’t meet a specific requirement for 80.
Check the number of tea bags and the net weight shown for the product you choose.
-
Choosing black tea for late-night revision without thinking about caffeine
According to Anses, caffeine can delay falling asleep and reduce how long or how well you sleep. Its effects vary from person to person.
If you’re sensitive to caffeine, consider when you drink it and what other sources you consume during the day.
-
Buying 80 tea bags of a blend you haven’t tried
If you don’t like the taste, you may not get much use out of a large box. Plain black tea and flavoured tea may not suit the same mood.
Check the ingredients and, if you’re unsure about a blend, consider trying a smaller size first.
