    "content_text": "Typhoo QT, in short: Typhoo has not said QT is discontinued, and its own online shop still lists it. It is hard to find in shops, and the 125g jar is in the teas.co.uk catalogue.\nTyphoo has made no announcement that QT instant tea is discontinued. Its own online shop still lists QT One Cup Instant Tea With Whitener, although both sizes showed as sold out there when we checked on 13 November 2026. What we can say is that it has become hard to find in shops. We keep Typhoo QT One Cup Instant Tea With Whitener, 125g in our catalogue, and the shop block below shows whether it is in stock today.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in November 2026.\nWhat Typhoo itself shows\nWe went to the maker first. On 13 November 2026 Typhoo's website listed QT as a current product in two sizes, a 125g jar and a 225g jar, and its About page showed QT in the range with a best seller label. Neither size could be added to the basket on the day we looked: both were marked sold out.\nWe found no statement from Typhoo, on the product page or in its news posts, that QT has been withdrawn. So the honest answer is this: not discontinued as far as the maker has said, but in short supply.\nWhy people think it has gone\nBecause it has dropped out of sight in the shops where people used to buy it. Reviews left for Typhoo on Trustpilot include a shopper who wrote in December 2025 that their local supermarket was not stocking the 125g QT and that they had bought it online instead.\nThe brand has also been through a change of owner. Typhoo Tea went into administration in November 2024 and was bought by Supreme in December 2024, and trade reports of the deal list QT among the brands that went with it. We do not know why any particular supermarket stopped listing QT, and we will not guess. The background is in the Typhoo collapse: what happened and who owns Typhoo now.\nWhat QT is and how to make it\nQT is instant black tea in granules, with the whitener already mixed in. Typhoo's instructions are as simple as it gets:\n\nPut one teaspoon of granules in a mug.\nAdd hot water and stir.\n\nTyphoo says no extra milk is needed, which is the whole point of the product: a milky cup of tea with nothing but a kettle. It suggests it for travel, camping and busy mornings.\n\nSizeServings, by Typhoo's countAt teas.co.uk\n125g jarAbout 50In our catalogue\n225g jarAbout 90Not stocked\n\nFor how instant tea compares with a bag in a mug, see instant tea: Lift, Typhoo QT and the convenience debate.\n\nWhere to buy it, and what to try if you cannot\nThe 125g jar sits on our instant tea shelf. If it is showing as out of stock when you look, there is no exact substitute in our range, because nothing else we sell is an instant tea with whitener. The nearest options are these.\n\nLift Instant Lemon Black Tea, 165g. Also instant, also from the Typhoo family of brands, but a lemon tea, not a milky one. There is a reduced sweetness version too.\nTetley One Cup English Breakfast Tea, 72 Tea Bags 144g. Not instant, but a bag sized for one mug if speed is what you are after.\n\nFor teas that their makers have formally withdrawn, see our list of discontinued teas and the page of alternatives to rare and discontinued teas. QT is not on that list.\nTyphoo QT at a glance\n\nQuestionAnswer\nHas Typhoo said it is discontinued?No\nListed on Typhoo's own shop?Yes, but sold out on 13 November 2026\nIn supermarkets?Hard to find\nWhat it isInstant black tea granules with whitener\nHow to make itOne teaspoon, hot water, no milk\nAt teas.co.uk125g jar in the catalogue\n\nCommon questions\nDo you need to add milk to Typhoo QT?\nNo. The whitener is already in the granules, and Typhoo says no additional milk is needed.\nHow many cups does a jar of QT make?\nTyphoo puts the 125g jar at about 50 cups, using one teaspoon per mug.
