Faulty tea bags

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Since the new square tea bags have been installed every now and then I get a faulty tea bag that doesn't go black in the water. The color is a pale reddish and if you go ahead and put milk in, the milk goes off in the water.

Not a pleasant sight and money down the drain. Thinking of changing brands to be honest.

Teabags

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hi. I only drink tea and have always had PG Tips since I had my own house in 1987.

When you changed from pyramid bags to square bags, the tea never tasted the same, but I still carried on using them. However, in the last few months, the bags seem to be really cheap. The bags split really easily so the tea leaves end up floating in my tea, and I end up discarding another cup of tea.

Why did you change from pyramids in the beginning?... A very sad customer, Paula.

Changed pyramid tea bags

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Ceased trading pyramid tea bags. Changed tea and now owned by Liptons.

Flavour isn't as good. Probably because it's a Lipton blend.

L am not happy with these tea bags I buy reg. tea bags any where.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The box was crushed and some bags were leaking tea, so they went in the trash. When I made my order, I should have been notified of changes and had the right to cancel before shipping if I didn't want them.

When I ordered, the pyramid bag was still showing on my screen. This is from the Mrs., not the Mr.

Open the 240 box up, most are all ripped. I can't find the recipe for my grandma.

The picture is below. She is on a pension.

Is there anything you can do to make her a bit happier? Kind regards, she doesn't do email.

PG Tips - Unhappy

Ive been an amid tea drinker since 12 years old, Im now 34. PG tips was the only tea that I ever indulged on as it was by far the best tasting.

Youve recently changed your tea bang shape from the amazing pyramid to an insulting square.

This, to me had changed the taste of PG and now tastes like Im drinking tetley tea made by a council mum (Im a council mum, posh one though LOL) and now Im struggling to find a perfect tea again after 22 years! No more tea parties for me!

Why oh why did you drop the pouches? They were the best tea machines ever.

ANYbody can make tea bags, and yours are NO improvement. Please reconsider. Change for change’s sake?

How out of step can you march? Bring back the “pyramid bags” — Most sincerely, from Sweden —

The old adage, if it ain't broke don't fix it. So disappointed, where 's the real PG Tips?

PG Tips - Tea bags bursting

A few weeks ago, my wife bought a box of 210 tea bags from a store in Gilesgate, Durham. Literally every teabag is not sealed correctly along one edge & those that are sealed are bursting when they come into contact with hot water.This has never happened before so Id like to know what you are doing about it.
