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

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.

Well I’m panicked and alarmed!

We’re doing our weekly shop tomorrow and need some. If they have any I might have to cause a shortage and stock up!

I always have at least 500 tea bags on standby…….really, I don’t drink coffee and only drink decaf tea.
It has to be good!
Ringtons or Yorkshire are my preference.

I second that! I drink this all the time,it’s lovely and a fraction of the price of the ‘big’ names.

Aldi gold label is a really nice tea.

escaped I find the perforations annoying too. When I open a new box of teabags I snip them all apart with scissors. A quick but satisfying task.

Can't say I would miss it. Taylors make some much better teas than that stuff

NOOOOOOOO!

PG Tips is my number 1 but Yorkshire is my number 2!

I feel quite tortured now knowing there's a YT shortage!

This is strange - I bought 4 boxes yesterday in Sweden.

Probably a short term disruption owing to everything shutting down during the storm last week.
