## Description

Typhoo Premium Everyday: The 240-Bag Box, in summary: A plain, strong black tea in round mug-sized bags, 240 to the box. Brew three to four minutes, lift the bag out before adding milk, and decant a few weeks' supply so the rest stays sealed.
Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.
With any big box, the question worth asking first is whether the bags have shrunk to fit, and here they have not: 750g across 240 bags is a little over three grams each, a full one-cup dose. What follows is how to get a good mug out of every one of them, from the first week of the box to the last.
Black tea, nothing else, built for milk 
The published ingredient list is a single line: black tea. There is no flavouring, and none of the major allergens is named. The leaf in a round one-cup bag is cut small so it gives up colour and strength fast, which is why a mug looks ready well before it really is, and why what rises off the cup is a gentle warmth and a hint of malt, with not much of a nose at all.
It is a working tea and makes no secret of it. There is a plain malty note underneath, a brisk strength and enough grip to stop milk flattening the cup, but not the smooth, rounded depth of a fancier blend. Drunk black it comes across hard and a little thin. With a proper splash of whole milk it becomes what most of the country simply calls tea, and that is the job it was made for.
Three minutes, then the milk 
A standard mug wants three minutes, or four for a stronger cup, and then the bag comes out. Everyday leaf releases its good qualities quickly and then carries on releasing tannin, so leaving the bag in pushes the cup from strong to harsh in roughly ninety seconds. If a mug of this ever tastes bitter, the clock is almost always to blame rather than the box.
Add milk only once the bag is out. Cold milk poured onto a steeping bag drops the water temperature and stalls the brew, which is how people end up with a pale mug that still tastes rough. Whole milk suits it better than skimmed. A teapot is fine too, using three bags for a 750ml pot; just remember these are designed for a mug, and lift them out before you pour the first cup.
Keeping 240 bags fresh, and a use for the spares 
Two hundred and forty bags is months of tea for most households, and that is the one real catch. Tea in a box does not spoil, but it does go flat as it meets air and kitchen smells. The answer is simple: fill an airtight tin by the kettle with a few weeks of bags and leave the box itself shut, somewhere cool and dry and away from the spice cupboard.
The size makes sense for a busy house, an office kitchen or a workshop kettle, anywhere tea is brewed without ceremony. It earns its place in baking too: a tea loaf needs its dried fruit steeped in strong, plain black tea, and with a box this size there are always bags to spare. It is caffeinated, and there is no decaffeinated version of this box.

FAQ
Are the bags smaller because the box is bigger? No. 750g across 240 bags works out at a little over three grams a bag, a full one-cup dose.
Does Typhoo Premium Everyday contain caffeine? Yes. It is an ordinary caffeinated black tea, and there is no decaffeinated version of this box.
How long should it brew? Give a mug three minutes, or four for a stronger cup, and remove the bag before the milk goes in.
Can I drink it without milk? You can, but it is at its best with milk. Black, it reads plain and a little hard; milk softens the grip into a round, easy mug.
How do I keep a 240-bag box fresh? Move a few weeks of bags into an airtight tin and leave the box closed in a cool, dry cupboard. It will not spoil, but it will go flat if left open.
Curator's note: Judge it with the milk in, not black; it was never meant to be sipped plain. And keep a few bags back for the tea loaf, because that is where a strong, simple brew really earns its keep. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
