Make sure your next bottle of whiskey is really whiskey.  A recent article in the Mirror (UK) tells about a  39-year old Liverpool (UK) man who used cold PG Tips tips to swindle 800 stores out of approximately £16,000 (about $30,000).

The man would dupe stores into switching bottles of Jack Daniels whisky. Customers would buy Jack Daniels only to find it was filled with cold PG Tips.

The man plead quilty to 5 charges of fraud. After being sentenced, he will serve his time and then deported from the UK.

Take a break to play the Two Continents game with Monkey.

To start, go to the game site.  In the game, you join Monkey on his journey with PG Tips from tea farms in Kenya, across the ocean and back to England for a cup of tea with the Queen.

The instructions may be a bit confusing.  Use the space bar and arrows at the same time.

As we are not gamers, we played a few time but did not make it past the first level.

Try your luck.

If you have questions about PG Tips, now you get answers direct from the company.  Unilever, the maker of PG Tips Tea, has put together a FAQ covering several areas of their business.

This is one of the first way PG Tips was delivered to stores.

As you can probably tell, we love PG Tips Tea.  Here is a picture of the type of box we keep around the office. It is the box of individually wrapped PG Tips tea bags.

Box of 25 individually wrapped PG Tips tea bags.

This PG Tips tea bag was created in 2005 for the brand’s 75th birthday. It contains 280 diamonds but still includes real PG Tips tea inside.

Although you cant get this tea bag, you can get all your PG Tips Teas at teadog.com.

Before having your next cup of tea, find out if your favorite brand is helping to make the world a little better. Our favorite tea, PG Tips, is taking action.

PG Tips is working to make conditions better for workers in tea growing countries. To make this happen, PG Tips is working with the Rainforest Alliance. The Rainforest Alliance is working to verify that, by 2010, all PG Tips tea growers practice sustainability.

All tea used in making the brand will come from tea growers that provide workers and their families with good working conditions and benefits (housing, education, healthcare). Additionally, growers must use farming methods that are environmentally-friendly.

When you buy a cup with tea grown in this manner, you are saying you approve of treating workers decently and protecting the environment. Who knew your small cup of tea can say so much.

Be watching for the new JustPGTips.com Superhero.  He is Commander PG, head of the PG Tips Army of tea drinkers.  He  is on the lookout for tea drinkers that are drinking inferior tea and gives them some PG Tips.

Do you love PG Tips Tea? Do you hate PG Tips? Are you loyal to some other English Tea brand? We are looking for a few people to be part of the PG Tips Taste Challenge.

We will send you a few PG Tips tea bags and a few Russian tea bags.  The tea bags will be in individually wrapped packets to preserve freshness.   Taste both and tell us what you think.   You can send us your review and we will put in here or post in on your site or blog.

It is best if you can make this a blind taste test. Get someone to help you make 2 cups of tea. Then, without knowing the difference, taste both and pick the best.  That’s it.  Simple.

Just use our Contact Form to send us your information so we can contact you.

Here is a rendering of a box of PG Tips.  We liked this version. Maybe we will see some changes to the PG Tips box (but probably not).
