<P> One of the adverts was a spoof of the "deli scene" from the movie When Harry Met Sally; in the advert Monkey describes the taste of PG Tips by saying "Oh Yes" repeatedly like in the movie, finishing with a woman at a table nearby asking the waiter "I'll have whatever he's having". The ad ends with the tagline "How would you describe the taste?" It was first shown on 3 February 2010 . </P> <P> Another advert, promoting the naturally occurring theanine in PG Tips, featured Monkey and Al playing the characters of Captain Mainwaring and Private Pike from the popular sitcom Dad's Army . </P> <P> When PG Tips released the "Special Moments" range (initially "The New Ones"), another advert was released to advertise the "Fresh" one . It featured Monkey and Al out rambling . Monkey says to Al that they need a cup of the "Fresh" one . Al takes so long to decide how the tea tastes that before he can come to a conclusion, Monkey has been swept away by an eagle . This advert was later modified showing Monkey being dropped off in the eagle's nest with the four flavours of the Special Moments range, as well as two eagle chicks next to him . After the US federal decision in support of same - sex marriage in 2015, PG Tips depicted its Monkey character under the rainbow flag in a message of support for the LGBT community . </P> <P> In 2015, as part of a rebrand, adverts now feature Monkey observing absurd things and deciding to "Keep it tea ." </P>

Where does the tea in pg tips come from
