Yorkshire Tea shortage!

escaped

Oh no!
Although I hope it's because they're reviewing the design of their teabags. Every time I try to tear one off, (they come in pairs), I end up splitting one of the bags because I can't separate them easily. Tea leaves everywhere. The perforations just aren't working? Grrrr.

I used to have the same problem separating them and splitting the bags. The way to do it is to separate them from the middle of the perforation; also only separate a few at a time. I've not torn a single teabag since I started doing this.

I don't drink tea - can't stand the stuff no no panic here!

I often see shelves like this and imagine they are awaiting a delivery.

No shortage yesterday in Home Bargains or Sainsburys at the weekend.

Happen as not it’ll be having a Price Upgrade😂

You’re probably right!

Don't panic! Still available in all outlets here (E.Midlands)

The price of it and we have the decaff mode , I would a surprise if there was a rush to stock it at nearly £7 for the large box.

It's been so many years since I've been reliably able to stock up in England with my tea of choice. Trailing from supermarket to supermarket, just to make up a sufficient amount - and finding the shelves empty. Who ever knows why?

Thank the lord for Twinings Ireland who have sent my latest order, delivered today, so I'll have what I need in my tea store for months to come. 🥳

Not a fan of this tea as find it way too strong. Aldi Red label tea for me, Yorkshire teabag would last me 3 days so not a problem for me!

Give Lancashire tea a try..it’s delicious 😊

Oh no! But I’ve got lots in my cupboard.
I really hate having to tear the bags apart / soooo annoying especially if they tear.

Plenty in our local B and M today.

Plenty in.local Asda.

Tetleys every time for us

Yorkshire is my second choice of tea.......much prefer Twynings Breakfast blend.

Went to Morrisons buy a big box of Yorkshire tea bags and was flabbergasted at the price... £8.25... hot footed it over the road to Lidl and same size box of Yorkshire tea was £5.49.

Why are there sudden shortages? It was Bird's custard before Christmas and Ovaltine has been in short / infrequent supply for a long time.

Ringtons! Yes! Best tea I've ever had

How many teabags in it? I bought YTea decaff today, 150 bags in it for £6.30 which was a bit more expensive than usual.

I don’t want to spread panic and alarm, but might Storm Eowyn be to blame for blighting the Yorkshire tea harvest?

Naughty RosiesMaw2 😄there is no shortage!

Oreo, it was 210 tea bags.

Ok so a bargain in Lidl😃

I don’t think there is a shortage, just a blip in that particular shop and its stocking procedure.
It’ll be pasta and toilet rolls next!

Who remembers the sugar shortage in the late 70's? I was in hospital after having a C-section and there wasn't a grain of sugar on any of the Obs & Gynae wards.

No shortage in our house, we drink very little tea, both coffee lovers, but it's there for guests who do. Yorkshire tea is my preference when I occasionally fancy a cup. When we had our painter decorator working in the house, I needed industrial provisions of tea, I've never known anyone to drink so much of the brew.

Yes. It was 1974. After wasting a precious lunch hour in the queue at the Co-op trying to buy some for the office I decided it wasn't worth the bother and returned to work. I stopped adding sugar to tea and coffee at home and told my co-workers that if they wanted sugar they could go and queue for it themselves!
