I had a slight issue with my decaf tea bags and thought I’d let them know in case there was an issue for more people. They dealt with it swiftly, were really helpful, explained what might have caused the issue and have sent out some replacements. Well done Yorkshire tea, there are reasons I don’t mind paying a little more for my tea bags and their great customer service is one of those reasons!

I am sorry to agree that the quality of the tea and the bags themselves have become inferior. A customer for many years I now have trouble getting a consistent brew. Some will be fine whilst others can be tasteless or bitter. The bags are splitting more often too. What once was a fantastic brand has now become wishy washy with more bad brews than good ones sorry to say.

What has happened to Yorkshire tea bags? I have used them for years and I had no complaints in fact they gave a great cuppa just recently they have changed.
They have a weak and horrible taste and the colour is like a dirty muddy colour my teapot is stained black
I have email the company and I have had no response.
Will not buy these teabags again

Today I emailed Taylors regarding my Yorkshire tea, when I opened my box most of the bags were perforated .
They emailed me straight back and have said they will send me a new box out. I received a lovely email explaining what had happened. They are very efficient.

We’ve been drinking regular Yorkshire Tea for years but have noticed the tea has become weak, insipid and flavourless. I found a box from last year that was the full strength tea I recognise. What has happened?

No longer a ‘proper brew’!
Used to love Yorkshire Tea, always our ‘go to’ brand. It used to brew a lovely strong cuppa regardless of whether it was Decaf or ‘normal’. And the cups used to stain very readily. Our latest box is very poor, brews a weak cuppa and leaves the cups spotless and free from stains.
Yet another case of shrinkflation I’m sure with Taylors reducing the amount of tea in the bags I suspect.
I won’t be buying again.

Whatever you have done stop it and go back to what ypu were doing. You were UK's best tea and world known. Why change the strength, depth, taste and colour to such a degree that your tea is like a supermarket brand. I am so disappointed and upset by this. My tea is so bad right now. Please, please sort it out immediately. We all miss the greatest tea.

I contacted Yorkshire Tea by telephone regarding a complaint about unsealed tea bags. The customer service was excellent. The lady was polite and understanding. She dealt with my complaint quickly and responded by email as promised with a perfect resolution on the same day. Thank you

We had a issue with teabags not being sealed fully. This was reported and we sent the batch number over and this could pinpoint the machine and production date and time this happened and hopefully would not happen again. We don't expect things like this to happen but even machines have a off day and just glad it's running OK now. A replacement box teabags was sent out straight away. Keep up the good work.

I posted a review a week ago to the effect that YT was no longer our ‘go to’ brand as the tea no longer had the strength and depth of flavour we enjoyed and that we were seeking a replacement brand. After an exchange with YT Customer Services, and reassurances that the tasting profile of YT had not been changed we had a further taste-off with a replacement box. I’m pleased to say that the taste/depth of flavour was as we recalled. We may have previously purchased a ‘bad batch’. We appreciate YT’s responsive customer service. We will remain a regular purchaser.

Best tea in the world. I never leave home without a few tea bags!
emailed to let them know my box of teabags weren’t properly perforated, and within an hour, I’d received a response with an explanation and a new box posted out to my house!
Thanks Bronte and the Taylor team x
