My Tea Collection (2012)by =QuintonCharles

Photography / Humorous

At last! My tea collection at what will likely be its peak (a lot of the packets are near-empty so I was saving them until I could be bothered to take a picture

). Not every packet is full here so the below total isn't how much tea I presently own, but purely a representative of the scale of what is in this picture.

Here is a link to the collection in the cupboard!

Below is the list of the teas, with Whittard, Twinings, Miscellaneous Brands, and Miscellaneous Samples and Items, being separated. At the bottom is a total.

NOTES:

In front of the Twinings box are examples of all of the different samples inside of the box.

If you would like to know more about any particular tea, feel free to ask!

In the list, the number aside the name represents teabags (total figure; so 100 next to (x2) means each packet has 50 teabags in it) if not otherwise stated to be in grams, in which case it is either loose or an instant tea.

If you click on the company name, you will be directed to a website if possible. I have not done this for individual teas ~~for the sake of my sanity~~ in case they are discontinued. Use the search functions to find any tea that interests you.

There are 75 different teas (where different brands’ versions of the same tea only count as one type of tea e.g. Tetley’s Green tea and Whittard’s Green Tea count as one).
Between taking the photograph and finishing this list, three more packets of Whittard tea were bought:
Rosehip and Hibiscus 20
Lemon, Ginger and Echinacea 20
Acerola Cherry 20
Which brings the teabag total, by what is written on the box, to 3021.
