  • Tea
    • ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ PG Tips is popular here in the UK.
    • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Ringtons (a personal favourite) is popular in and around Newcastle, where the company is based.
    • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Yorkshire Tea (also exceedingly popular in the north as well as the midlands) is owned by Betty's & Taylors.
    • ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Tetley is a popular brand owned by ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Tata, though personally I can't drink the stuff.
  • Coffee
    • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Black Sheep Coffee is a chain of coffee shops in the UK, but they also sell beans and grounds.
    • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Pilgrims Coffee is a small roastery on Holy Island.
    • While their instant coffee is never great, supermarket own-brand beans and grounds are better than you would expect. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Tesco and ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Waitrose both sell fairly nice coffee.
    • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Pumphrey's is another small coffee roaster, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Many independent cafรฉs and shops in the north-east sell their coffee, but I believe you have to buy beans and grounds directly.
  • ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Red Box Coffee is based in Edinburgh and they sell tea and coffee, both of which are quite nice.

Why use the Polish flag for Tesco?

Mandela effect. I could have sworn it was a Polish company. Corrected now!
