Checking in from a sweltering Chicago where the air is thick and the mercury is hovering around 90.

When I arrived at TimeZoneOne I immediately identified a serious problem. Tea and more specifically the quality of the tea the Zoners were imbibing. I returned the next day with a box of PG Tips, England’s No. 1 Tea. Since then morning tea has taken on a whole new experience,and like me, the rest of the Chicago team are converts. For those weaned on Choysa and Bell, it’s time to experience the new enlightenment.

In 1930 PG Tips launched in the UK as “Pre-Gest-Tee”. Grocers and van salesman soon abbreviated the name to PG. The company adopted this as the official name and added “tips” to highlight that PG takes only the top two leaves and a bud to make its tea.

PG Tips is famous for the chimpanzee commercials made during the 70’s.

 Time to put the jug on.
