when will your tea bags become plastic free

HI there! About 1/5 of UK Yorkshire Tea bags have now switched to a plant-based plastic called PLA, and we're aiming to switch the majority of the range by July 2021. PLA is sometimes called "plastic free" because it's plant-based and compostable in food waste and garden waste bins; however, we don't use that term ourselves.

Are the teabags bleach free?

The tea bag paper is whitened using a chlorine-free process. It's partly for quality (the brown colour can hide manufacturing issues like heat marks, which we want to pick up); and partly for flavour (natural wood pulp has variable levels of lignin in it, which has a detectable taste).

What are they expire date? I’m considering ordering a box to bring to my home country

The bags last for years. I order this to Scandinavia on a regular basis and it takes us about 1yr to 6 months to go through the largest size pack. As long as you keep the bag properly shut, in an airtight container and stored in a slightly cooler and dry pantry you should have no issues storing these for at least 1-2 years after expiration. The only danger with dry goods like these going "out of date" is that they will loose flavour overtime and may if stored incorrectly (too moist) develop a slight mold which in any case if they do spoil you will notice this straight away as they will develop a surface fuzz and a funky smell.

why has the price gone up so much since lockdown? gone up over £10 per bag, this is profiteering!!!! I buy these from you every few weeks

Hi there! Lots of items on Amazon are sold by more than one seller - you can see all the different sellers (and select one) by clicking on the link saying '3 new' (or '2 new', or some other number) just beneath the price in the listing. If Amazon itself is briefly out of stock and awaiting more, the listing defaults to one of those other sellers. They can charge whatever they like, because they're just private individuals or Amazon Marketplace shops that have bought something and are selling it on. But we'd encourage you not to pay inflated prices, especially as at the time of writing this, Amazon has stock back in and is charging its normal price.

Great Tea

Purchased for office/work. Great for stocking the office kitchen. When there are over two dozen teas made a day, the 1040 bags help make thing last. Make sure to find a way to seal the bag though. Otherwise the strength of the tea bags might start to fade over time.

Good product, delivery failed the first time.

The Yorkshire tea is fine. It arrived in good condition. The delivery failed the first time since I wasn't notified by PostNl, the Dutch postal service. Is was send back to sender. I was reimmbursed shortly after that. I orderbedrag the product a second time. This time I checked my PostNl app, which mentioed the arrival. Apparently it went to a distribution point where they keep it for max 10 days before sending it back to selder.I could pick it up within the time they keep it.

Voor de verwende thee drinker. Het heeft body, character en een lekkere nasmaak. Het is wel van belang dat een goede trektijd aangehouden word van rond de 4 minuten (minimaal 3, max 5) en dat direct net af kokend water gebruikt word, dus niet bv 1 minuten later pas bij het theezakje doen. Doe je dat niet dan is de smaak beduidend minder. Laat je bv PG tips 4 minuten trekken dan is dat heel bitter, Yorkshire daartegen krijgt een rijkere smaak die (nog (te lang trekken komt dat wel)) niet bitterder is geworden. Als engelse stijl (zwarte) thee drinker raad ik deze absoluut aan als een van de betere thee's. Beter dan Pickwick enz.

We’ve purchased and tried several local brands of tea bags here in Japan, but have found them tasteless. Yorkshire Tea bags on the other hand, even though costing 50% more per tea bag compared with local brands, are a 100% better in taste. Expensive but worth it especially for your proper cup of morning breakfast tea.
