Yorkshire Tea teabags - less tea in them?

Doc_N

It now takes three or four Yorkshire Tea teabags to produce the same strength of tea that the last box produced - just a box of poorly filled teabags, or has anyone else noticed this apparent change?

I'm sure if you complain to Yorkshire Tea they'll send Michael Parkinson round personally with a replacement box, and some complimentary Fat Rascals.

My Yorkshire Tea bags haven't changed is size or strength. Are you sure you're not using the 'one cup' bags?

Well if it now only takes three or four tea bags to produce the same strength of tea that your entire last box produced then they must be considerably stronger

I think it was too wet last year for all the tea plantations in Yorkshire so the quality of tea suffered, tha'll be reet nex t'year.

It's not the tea, it's caused by dilution of your water. Yes, that's right, they're watering your water down.

Probably caused by The French.

I do not use that brand but I have noticed tea bags or leaves have been in steady decline for the last few years. Take Earl Grey, for instance... it has NO SCENT at all (or taste!!). That goes for all brands you can find in the supermarket at least. We have stopped buying it. Same with several types of breakfast tea.
