As a product of generations of working class Scots, I have always been happy with regular tea. None oh that fancy stuff lassie! My mom drinks Tetley and so do I. Orange Pekoe. I will get fancy with the odd cup of Earl Grey but that it about it. We won’t mention the packets of David’s Tea that the hubs “discovered” yesterday.
I am more of a coffee drinker, but have followed the generational tastes and so tea has always been the afternoon drink of choice. I tend to fall back on coffee for the caffeine since I just cannot stay awake these days without it. But a wee cuppa tea and a biscuit is so much more civilized.
Thank you then Tetley for introducing PERK.
Canadians will be the first in the world to wake-up to the only tea in Canada that contains the same amount of caffeine as coffee. Tetley Perk’s tasty Orange Pekoe blend is enhanced with naturally sourced caffeine extract. The total amount of caffeine in each 175 ml cup is 100 mg – the same as a cup of coffee. This compares to the original Tetley Orange Pekoe that contains a modest 34 mg of caffeine. If you enjoy a Tetley Perk at breakfast, you could easily consume an additional eight cups of original Tetley Orange Pekoe and still stay under Health Canada’s recommended daily intake of caffeine, which is 400 mg of caffeine a day.
My first taste test is a bit off since I only seem to have SKIM milk in the house (blerg). I can’t tell if it was my imagination or not if I thought I could taste the caffeine…..I will do a comparison test soon when I can share the experiment with my mom.
All in all though…if you like tea, and are a Tetley fan like myself, the PERK version is worth trying if you feel you need an extra boost in the morning or afternoon….whenever you need it.
