Without knowing more about your current technique, I can only echo what others have said: use really boiling water, steep for a few minutes (I usually do it about 5 for a cup, more for a teapot) stir, and then squeeze the teabag against the side of the cup with your spoon (or squish it between two spoons) before removing it. That is the technique that I learned at the ripe old age of 9 when I was first tasked with making the evening tea for my mum and aunt.
Have you tried PG Tips somewhere else and liked it? Maybe it's just the tea you don't like. I thought I hated tea for years (such a traitor to my roots!) until I had it outside of my own home--I just don't like the brand my mum likes.
