what's happened to Typhoo tea bags.

I used to be able to get four cups from one bag, now I am lucky to get one.

is this another sign of global warming.........


The square bags with the string are much weaker than the good old
round bags. Just had a cup (round bag).

Square bags with string was how teabags were when they first appeared
40+ years ago.
Which is presumably why the premium brands still use them (giving the
image of traditional good quality)
So are Typhoo trying to reposition themselves as a quality tea?
