In April, PG Tips confirmed it had pulled its instant tea granules line after changes to manufacturing negatively affected their taste. As a result, the product had been temporarily pulled as PG Tips took “some time out to review our options”, McNamara added.

Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more Leaf tea is designed for freshbrew vending systems. The leaf tea we supply at Vending Superstore comes in impressive 1kg bags. Each bag is able to get as many as 400 cups at a gram throw of 22.5g for each 200ml cup (7oz vending size). Freshbrew machines differ from other systems as they use leaf tea rather than granules to deliver a tasty, crisp cup of tea each and every time. If you have a freshbrew machine, leaf tea is ideal.

It’s hard to believe there isn’t a demand for this; all the vending machines that use it and all the loyal customers that for years bought it,” they said. In a customer service message, the brand said it was “working extremely hard to fix the problems” with the biodegradable bags, having made “huge improvements at our factory in Manchester”. I've always said PG Tips are the hardest to brew right but when done properly are THE best teabags bar none and it was true... until today. PG Tips also faced ire from consumers earlier this year over complaints its newly biodegradable pyramid teabags broke apart too easily. To allow you to tell your friends about your favourite products we have also added Facebook, Tweet and pin it buttons to make this easier for you.

Here at Vending Superstore, we are huge fans of a good cup of tea. Whether you’re sitting down with your feet up after a long day or just waking up, nothing can beat the perfect brew. PG Tips has discontinued its instant tea granules after changes to manufacturing negatively affected their taste. I wasn't hopeful but thought I'd give them a go and was even more disappointed than I thought id be.
