The London Cuppa closed?
The one and only tea my daughter likes to drink seems to be unavailable now. We need a replacement! The box says this is tea from Nepal and Kenya. I guess I need to drink a cup because I haven’t had it in about ten years probably, but I don’t drink much tea bag tea nor a lot of breakfast style that is intended to have milk and sugar added. I am thinking Tetley British Blend, PG Tips, Yorkshire Gold, or Taylor’s of Harrogate might have something similar. Any advice? I hate to buy boxes of all of the above when we would likely not enjoy drinking it if it doesn’t pass muster for her, but we can always pass it on to someone else if she doesn’t care for it.
I’m not familiar with this tea brand and don’t know how big it is, but you could look into contacting them if they still have an online presence. Maybe it’s a tea that they buy from a wholesaler that supplies other companies.
We have bought their tea for over fifteen years, and I think they were fairly large as they are a UK company but we could find their tea years ago at places like TJMaxx and Marshall’s, but the webpage is closed and all the places that carried their tea say it is out of stock.
Too bad it’s a larger company that’s hard to contact! I used to drink PG Tips back when I drank tea from teabags, but I don’t know whether it’s similar. Good luck with your search!
Sadly I didn’t found it anywhere either . What could be similar and comes to my mind is Bird&Blend Great British Cuppa; available as loose leaf as well as tea pyramids.
I too am (was) a fan of London Cuppa. Their website has been abandoned and the business appears to be permanently closed. On my search for a replacement I have tried Lidl’s English Breakfast (awful) and The Republic of Tea’s British Breakfast – The Perfect Cuppa (surprisingly weak, I need to try it again to be sure). While it’s not the same as ‘The’ London Cuppa, I have been drinking Basilur’s English Breakfast for many years. It is quite good.
I have enjoyed the Basilur teas I have tried! We tried Red Rose (weak), Twinings English Breakfast (not quite London Cuppa-ish), Tetley British Blend (not bad but not as strong as LC), Big Red Sun by Harney (still experimenting and I think it is the same as Royal English Breakfast), and Ceylon And India by Harney – her favorite so far as a possible replacement. Next up I may buy some PG Tips or Yorkshire Gold for her to try.
Thanks for your input! Perhaps between us we will hit the jackpot! London Cuppa was a blend of Kenyan and Indian teas, so I am trying to find teas with those two types, but to get the strength right we may need to venture elsewhere.
