Hello to the tetley tetley tea bag staff, peoples manufacturers , Please excuse me for being prompt and to the point sirs miss who ever, but i have been enjoying this wonderful and tasty beautiful cup of British tea for over fifteen years now and i have to say that i am presently disappointed with the taste or the flavor, I must say that my tetley i bought in the same new packages just does not taste nor have that natural kick to it like the older tetley tea so please bring back the older tea ..

The genius that is Brian Wilson. No wonder he went a little mad, realizing that his inspired songwriting and angelic harmonic compositions were used to sell oddly-shaped teabags.

Everyone went with the round bags for a while! it was a real trend! I love this "beach boys" Tetley ad, really brings back memories! the round bag was far more successful than their pyramid bag! that sunk without a trace!

Brilliant Tetley advert from the year i was born! I love how they get as close to the original song as possible, they even spoofed the Flintstones theme a few years later, and you would've thought the original singers were singing it, but with different lyrics.
