LCurator note · Tetley
Four hundred bags sits right on the line between a household stocking up and somewhere that should really be on a wholesale account. The Africa-and-India blend is the standard reliable Tetley, so the cup is not the question, the throughput is: an office kitchen or a genuinely tea-soaked family will clear it fresh, while an average home is still on the same box months later drinking it past its best. Match the pack to how fast the kettle actually goes.

About this tea

At a glance: 400 black tea bags · 1.25kg · robust everyday style. Black tea naturally contains caffeine, but the amount in a cup varies with the tea, water, brew time and serving size.

Tetley Original 400 Tea Bags
This 1.25kg catering-size pack contains 400 Tetley Original tea bags. It is designed for households, offices and shared kitchens that make black tea frequently and want a familiar, dependable cup.
Taste and serving
Expect a brisk black-tea character with enough body for milk, although it can also be served black. Adjust milk and sweetness to taste rather than treating one recipe as compulsory.
Caffeine, ingredients and sourcing
This is black tea and naturally contains caffeine. We do not state a fixed milligram amount per cup because extraction changes with water volume, temperature and brew time. Check the current pack for the definitive ingredient and allergen information.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

The story behind Tetley
Tetley invented the drawstring tea bag in the UK and has been a household staple since 1837. The Original 80s and 240s are the everyday picks; the novelty range (Digestive Biscuit, Lemon Drizzle, Cherry Bakewell) is one of the most-distinctive in mainstream British retail. Owned by Tata Consumer Products, Rainforest Alliance certified.

Tasting notes
The taste profile
Flavour and brewing
Black tea develops its colour and brisk flavour through oxidation of the leaf. In the cup, brew time, water volume and milk have a much greater practical effect than a fixed tasting score. Start with the pack directions, then shorten the brew for a lighter cup or extend it for more body.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Use one bag per mug with freshly boiled water and follow the directions on the current pack. A shorter brew gives a lighter cup; allowing more time gives a fuller result. Remove the bag before adding milk if used.
