Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 215 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the customer service team for their efficiency, helpfulness, and remarkably quick response times when addressing concerns. Reviewers frequently highlight the excellent communication and the personalized approach, making many people feel genuinely valued and listened to by the company. This dedication to service is often cited as a key strength.

Additionally, a few other people also felt that the teabags themselves were prone to splitting or were not properly sealed, causing inconvenience.

Same complaint as all the others here

Same complaint as all the others here, you are using far less tea in the bags and the recipe has changed. You cannot go against all these customers who clearly have years of tea drinking expertise. Too many standard company replies. You clearly have no intention of admitting what you are doing so we will move the complaint to the Times and Private Eye.

Thank you for your review, Ian. We’re really sorry to hear your brews haven’t been tasting quite as they should. We can reassure you that we haven’t changed the blend, and our UK tea bags still contain 3.125g of Yorkshire Tea. If you’ve got a particular box that doesn’t seem right, our customer services team would be glad to look into it. Just drop them a note at hello@yorkshiretea.co.uk and they can arrange for our tea experts to taste test some bags and help get things sorted.

Perfume taste.

Been drinking Yorkshire Tea for years.
Random bags tasting like perfume in the last 3 boxes, including the box they sent directly as a replacement when we contacted customer service.

I had an issue with a product

I had an issue with a product which was responded to very quickly and an explanation given as to how this was likely to have occurred. It resolved my misgivings about buying this product again (one that I have used for many years).

Problem Resolved

I had a problem with the 600 bag of tea bags.

I contacted customer service and the lovely Bronte provided an explanation and offered a replacement. No arguing or negotiation, provided a solution.

Great service. Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, Reece. We’re sorry to hear our radio ad wasn’t to your taste. We like to do things a little differently with our ads, and this one was meant to be fun and light‑hearted, something that might stand out from the usual radio chatter and hopefully bring a smile to people’s day. While we’ve had a lot of positive feedback, we're sorry that this one missed the mark for you, and we’ll make sure your comments are passed on to our Marketing team. Thanks again for getting in touch, and we really do hope you’ll stick with us.☕️

I am considering changing brands after years of using Yorkshire tea . I no longer think it is as good as it used to be, not strong enough, and the taste is not the same.

Hi Linda. We’re really sorry to hear your Yorkshire Tea isn’t tasting as strong or consistent as you expect, especially after so many years of enjoying it. We haven’t changed the blend or the flavour we aim for, and our team works hard to keep every batch up to the same standard by tasting each tea before and after blending. Your feedback genuinely matters to us. If you have any boxes that don’t seem quite right, the codes on the pack help our Quality Assurance team investigate. Feel free to email our team the details to hello@yorkshiretea.co.uk so our experts can check the batch and make sure everything is as it should be.

Yorkshire Tea now tastes horrid

Came onto the Internet to see if anyone else is finding Yorkshire Tea now tastes bad. See that looks of people do! I'm disappointed as I pay around £6/7 for the big box and now feeling like it's no longer worth it. We tried a box of Miles tea last week and they were delicious!

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service. I reached out, a bit tongue in cheek, with a query about their tea bags - got an immediate and very informative and friendly reply. Couldn't ask for more - their tea is great too, been drinking it for years !

Dodgy Perforations

We had difficulty separating the teabags from paired, as supplied, to singles, for use, causing the bags to burst in the cup.
Customer Csre acted immediately and replaced the dodgy box with TWO new boxes. Happy Days!

Poorly pot of tea...

In early Dec '25 I got flu and still have remnants now and one thing that was keeping me going was a jolly good strong mug of tea, my fave being Yorkshire Tea and I have used it for so many years the brand is almost as old as I am! I noticed the tea was weak, colourless and flavourless. I put it down to being I'll and even did a covid test as that can affect what you taste. Negative test! Even now I look at it, know it's a mug of tea, but nothing. Still no colour or flavour. I've even been using two teabags to make one cup and started buying small boxes of alternative bags so that I can change brand. Sorry Yorkshire but I think I'm jumping ship. Please don't bother with the cut and paste response, please put them back to what they were. The product has changed drastically but the price hasn't!

Hi Kay, thanks for your review. We’re really sorry to hear the brew hasn’t been as consistent as you expect, especially as you usually enjoy Yorkshire Tea. We haven’t changed the blend or the flavour we aim for, and our team works hard to maintain quality by tasting every tea before and after blending.
Your feedback matters to us, and codes from any boxes you’re unhappy with help our Quality Assurance team investigate. If you ever notice an issue, please email hello@yorkshiretea.co.uk with the details so our experts can check the batch and make sure everything’s as it should be.
