        Tea
🇳🇱 PG Tips is popular here in the UK.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ringtons (a personal favourite) is popular in and around Newcastle, where the company is based.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Yorkshire Tea (also exceedingly popular in the north as well as the midlands) is owned by Betty's & Taylors.
🇬🇧 Tetley is a popular brand owned by 🇮🇳 Tata, though personally I can't drink the stuff.

Coffee
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Black Sheep Coffee is a chain of coffee shops in the UK, but they also sell beans and grounds.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pilgrims Coffee is a small roastery on Holy Island.
While their instant coffee is never great, supermarket own-brand beans and grounds are better than you would expect. 🇬🇧 Tesco and 🇬🇧 Waitrose both sell fairly nice coffee.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Pumphrey's is another small coffee roaster, from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Many independent cafés and shops in the north-east sell their coffee, but I believe you have to buy beans and grounds directly.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Red Box Coffee is based in Edinburgh and they sell tea and coffee, both of which are quite nice.

M&S Kenyan is my goto. But maybe it's time to look into local roasters.

Why use the Polish flag for Tesco?

Mandela effect. I could have sworn it was a Polish company. Corrected now!
