It's getting cold out. Do they sell Tetley tea at Costco? If not, where can I find some? Smile

No Tetley at Costco, just Lipton and South African Rooibos, which is quite good.

You might try the supermarket sections of the big department stores. I know I've seen it there, but can't remember when/where. They also had Earl Grey.

why is this an acceptable answer to "where can I find something in Korea"? not everyone has benevolent parents waiting around to spend $$ on sending overseas. if they did, presumably it would have occurred to the poster to ask them.

unless you are offering the services of your "mam" to the rest of us, do you see how it is not very helpful?

Actually, it is the most helpful answer.

Tetley teabags cannot be bought in Korea.
The only thing close to Tetley teabags in Korea cost about $8 for 25.
They are cheap to buy in the UK. About $5 for 200.
They are very light and don't cost much to send in the mail.
If you don't have a dear ol' Mam in the UK, the chances are you will know somebody willing to send you the teabags. I'm guessing Papa Smurf meant 'your Mam, or whoever'.

People have been sending me teabags from the UK for 9 years now. Or I get a big bag when I go there. It really is the best way to get your British tea fix.

I get mine sent from home, too. If you really don't have anyone to send the stuff on their own dime, pony up for cost and postage.

I ran out about 2-3 months ago and have weaned myself onto Lipton (yellow boxed) jobbies. They seem to hit the spot just as well as Tetley's, or maye i'm just used to them now?

Me Mam and Dad bought a load of Yorkshire Tea over when they came. It makes me happy every morning. In fact, I'm going to make one right now.

I hate you. Here I was all happy I'd come back from Seoul with a load of Twinings and someone has to go and mention Yorkshire.

Last time I fondly enjoyed a cup of Tetley, it came in stringless circle bags. PG Tips comes in the pyramid though.

If anyone finds Williamson Earl Grey I will be deeply indebted to you.
