No flavour. Terrible tea. Used to be good

Recent boxes of yorkshire teabags have no flavour at all. We have been buying the brand for years but the last two boxes have been terrible. We thought at first it was a glitch but it seems not. We are about 40 bags into a 240 but it's only because we are yorkshire that we haven't thrown the box out. Aldi for us from now on.

Hi Andy, thank you for your review. If there's ever a particular box you're concerned about, we'd like to know about it so that we can feed back to our Quality Assurance Team. Would you mind letting our customer services team know at hello@yorkshiretea.co.uk so they can put this right? We'd need to know the blend and box size you bought as well as the best before date and the other production details that are printed on the base of the box.

Had an issue with some of the Yorkshire Tea teabags in the pack I bought. Customer services at Taylors of Harrogate was fantastic.
In particular, Bronte was so prompt, polite and responsive to my email.

Yorkshire Tea Bags.. What has happened?…

I have no idea what has happened to 'Yorkshire Tea Bags' but over the last couple of months, the tea has tasted quite bland, seemingly weak and it doesn't help by brewing for an extended time either... Something has obviously changed as is evident by looking at all the 'low scoring' reviews and comments... surely can't all be a coincidence.. can it?.
Someone somewhere within the company knows what's going on and they're no doubt not informing the customer service side of the changes.. hence the standard response.. (pre-empting response - Please see below). Lets hope they change it back before we all desert what was a 'proper brew'.

Issue raised with product

I raised the issue regarding the unsealed tea bags one evening and received a prompt response the next morning. The response detailed what may have been the issue and advised replacement bags will be sent.

amazon 600 bag purchase

Second time in a year i have had tea bags that are below the standard i have come to expect and love from yorkshire tea, they have the strength but seem to have no flavour with a bitter aftertaste, judging by reviews on here it seems a trend now so may have to reconsider my choice in future..poor show guys, will be chucking them in the bin.

Decline in quality

I have been drinking Yorkshire brand tea for many years. But lately the quality has seriously declined. The bags no longer provide a strong flavorful pot of tea. Worse still, I recommended it to friends who thought it was dreadful-- weak and without flavour. I tried Yorkshire Gold as well, and it was the same-- weak and without much flavour. I have no idea what has happened but I'm now looking for a new brand.

You've changed the Strength & Blend, STOP!

I’ve been a dedicated Yorkshire Tea drinker for decades, and I’ve always loved the rich strength and flavour that made this brand stand out. But the last several boxes (not just one) have been consistently weak, pallid, and lacking the depth of flavour we used to expect — even when steeped longer than usual. This isn’t a one-off bad box; it’s a pattern that many loyal customers are now reporting box after box.

Customers are not asking for perfection — just for the tea we remember. Yet every time someone points this out, the official response repeatedly pushes the line that the issue is due to a single faulty box and insists nothing has changed to the blend or strength. That simply doesn’t align with what people are actually experiencing. The sheer number of reports of weak flavour, altered taste, and poorly filled/tearing bags makes it very clear that something has changed in either sourcing, blend ratios, processing, or packaging — and it’s affecting the quality.

Ignoring this feedback isn’t good customer service. Long-standing customers who would normally defend Yorkshire Tea are switching brands because they feel the company won’t listen. Saying “it’s just a single box” feels dismissive and out of touch with the actual volume of consistent complaints.

Please take your customers seriously. If there has been a change in the tea’s strength, blend, or production process, acknowledge it openly — and act on the feedback. Loyal drinkers want the strong, proper brew we’ve loved for years, not excuses. Like others I'm now switching as the product is now poor tasting cheap tat, and we can't trust you! I strongly suggest you re-consider your silly cost saving exercise before you have no customers left. Once people change brands it's unlikely they'll EVER return.

IN RESPONSE TO THE FEEDBACK FROM YORKSHIRE TEA:

If you are sourcing the leaves from different locations at different times of the year this should be explained on the box for customers so we have a choice. Changing the leaves is like changing the ingredients and makes a core difference to how the product will taste. Effectively it becomes a different product and should be identified accordingly on the packaging.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, and for sticking with us for so many years. We’re really sorry to hear your brews haven’t been up to scratch lately, that’s absolutely not what we want for anyone, especially someone who’s been with us for decades.
A proper brew matters, and when it doesn’t taste right, it’s frustrating. While we haven’t changed the strength or the recipe we aim for, we do sometimes have to adjust where our leaves come from and the balance of teas in each batch. That’s down to things like weather and growing conditions in the countries we buy from, the reliability of supply, and making sure we can still source the quality of leaf our blend depends on. Our tea buyers do their very best to ensure consistency and quality, tasting each individual tea before blending and then tasting every blended batch up to eight times before it's packed, If you’re willing, we’d really appreciate the chance to look into the specific batches you’ve had so we can investigate properly. Our customer care team is always happy to help, and you can reach us at hello@yorkshiretea.co.uk.

Great customer service

I am a great fan of Yorkshire Tea bags and no other Teabag are allowed in my house.
I had an issue when several of the tea bags split open and the leaves were floating in my cup.
I contacted Customer Service by email and got an immediate response and they dealt with my issue promptly. Great response and full praise to the company.
