when will your tea bags become plastic free

HI there! About 1/5 of UK Yorkshire Tea bags have now switched to a plant-based plastic called PLA, and we're aiming to switch the majority of the range by July 2021. PLA is sometimes called "plastic free" because it's plant-based and compostable in food waste and garden waste bins; however, we don't use that term ourselves.

Are the teabags bleach free?

The tea bag paper is whitened using a chlorine-free process. It's partly for quality (the brown colour can hide manufacturing issues like heat marks, which we want to pick up); and partly for flavour (natural wood pulp has variable levels of lignin in it, which has a detectable taste).

What are they expire date? I’m considering ordering a box to bring to my home country

The bags last for years. I order this to Scandinavia on a regular basis and it takes us about 1yr to 6 months to go through the largest size pack. As long as you keep the bag properly shut, in an airtight container and stored in a slightly cooler and dry pantry you should have no issues storing these for at least 1-2 years after expiration. The only danger with dry goods like these going "out of date" is that they will loose flavour overtime and may if stored incorrectly (too moist) develop a slight mold which in any case if they do spoil you will notice this straight away as they will develop a surface fuzz and a funky smell.

why has the price gone up so much since lockdown? gone up over £10 per bag, this is profiteering!!!! I buy these from you every few weeks

Hi there! Lots of items on Amazon are sold by more than one seller - you can see all the different sellers (and select one) by clicking on the link saying '3 new' (or '2 new', or some other number) just beneath the price in the listing. If Amazon itself is briefly out of stock and awaiting more, the listing defaults to one of those other sellers. They can charge whatever they like, because they're just private individuals or Amazon Marketplace shops that have bought something and are selling it on. But we'd encourage you not to pay inflated prices, especially as at the time of writing this, Amazon has stock back in and is charging its normal price.
