Lipton Yellow Label tea bags

Lipton Yellow Label tea bags: Where in the UK can I buy some? Online or otherwise, a shop in London? Enquired directly to company and was told that it's only for export. Fab.

I think there's some on e-bay.

Fab? You must be joking. I've travelled the globe over the space of many years. In distant parts it's quite normal to be presented with a DIY Lipton's Yellow Label teabag and a pot of luke-warm water. Long ago, I came to the conclusion that Lipton had done their best for us Brits in far-flung places by producing a blend that, brewed with tepid water, was as near as you could get to a real cuppa.

Sorry to sound smug. I had the exact same problem after trying them in France last year, so whilst in Spain this year I bought a box.

Tried any on-line French or spanish supermarkets?

Thanks...'Fab' as in being a tad sarcastic- since it's manufactured in the UK, but I've always had to have mine bought on holiday in Turkey or Hong Kong, etc. If only you'd seen my expression of ecstasy when I came across some in a market stall in Somers Town...:) Since my supply ran out, I've had to resort to using Sainsbury's Gold as a mediocre substitute (nothing like...but then...) I might have to resort to buying from a website for expat Brits...the search continues...

dont know how we can do this but I am in Finland and can get you as many as you want where about in Britian are you as we have people going to London sometimes and my mum is going back to Liverpool in a couple of weeks so I suppose she could take some for you

Or me, I will be over in Worcester, wales and Leicester from next friday, and can bring some from France!

Fabuloso! Thanks for your kind offers- I'm seriously over the moon! I'm based in London, but I'll be in Milan in a few days' time and will still be there when you (Mata Hari) arrive on Friday...and I'm just thinking how something can be organised...I drink this stuff (if I have it!) at least once, sometimes twice a day, so I get through a 100 bag pack quite easily (did someone say 'addiction'?!) Would it actually be easier to have it posted over from Europe? If either one of you- espookid or mata hari can send me 100 bag packs every 3 months, I'd be quite happy to track down anything you particularly crave from over here to send to you! Thanks in advance!

Alternatively, espookid: when your mum comes over to London, I can always bake deadly Chocolate Fudge Brownies (made with Lindt 85% cocoa solid chocolate) which is orgasmic served warm with a large scoop of Haagen-Dazs vanilla in exchange...my other specialty is Torta di Mele (Italian apple cake- served warm with double cream)...oh, don't get me started!
Anyway, I might even find some in Milan after all!

There is now a British website which sells Lipton:
