Editing PG Tips (section)

==Products==
The Brooke Bond name has now been dropped from all packaging and the product is now known as PG Tips. PG Tips is available as [[loose tea]], [[tea bag]]s, and in vending formats. A "Special Blend" tea, which is the same as the tea blended for the brand's 75th anniversary, is available in tea bag form only. The tea used in PG Tips is imported in bulk as estate teas from around the world and blended in precise proportions set by the [[Tea tasting|tea tasters]] to make blend 777, which can contain between 12 and 35 estate teas (depending on the season, etc.) at the [[Trafford Park]] factory in the Metropolitan Borough of [[Trafford]], [[Greater Manchester]].

PG Tags, tea bags with a string, were launched in 1985. [[Tetrahedron|Tetrahedron-shaped]] tea bags, branded as "Pyramid Bags," launched in 1996. The tetrahedral bag was designed to help the tea leaves move more freely, as loose tea moves in a teapot, and supposedly create a better infusion. One 2011 version of the product packaging made the claim: "The PG Tips pyramid tea bag gives the tea leaves 50% more room to move around than a flat conventional tea bag. So the tea bag works more like a miniature teapot. This allows for all the freshness to be released for the best-tasting cup of PG."<ref>{{cite web|title=PG Tips Tea, Popular Brands|url=http://www.famousfoods.com/pgtipstea.html|publisher=FamousFoods.com|access-date=19 September 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010105650/http://famousfoods.com/pgtipstea.html|archive-date=10 October 2011}}</ref> During the [[#The T-Birds (2002–2005)|T-Birds era]], the tetrahedral tea bags were remade with a "freeflow" material to allow further infusion of the tea.
