Green tea

McDonalds have recently changed from Tetley to PG Tips tea. Thus removing the main reason I had for being a customer

Not because of the brand particularly, though I do find it a much harsher taste

The tea bags no longer have that handy draw string which means you could remove it neatly without scorching your fingers & leaving a nasty trail of brown drips

To add insult to injury this switch is for so-called ethical reasons. PG tips are Rainforest Alliance Certified

If we really think the world needs forests we could start by replanting the Peak Forest & letting other people have their turn with the benefits of living on cleared land
