    "excerpt": "Yorkshire Tea comes in boxes of 40, 80, 160 and 240 tea bags, weighing 125g, 250g, 500g and 750g. Every size holds the same weight of tea per bag, so the choice is about how fast your household drinks it.",
    "content_text": "Yorkshire Tea pack sizes, in short: 40 bags is 125g, 80 is 250g, 160 is 500g and 240 is 750g. Each bag holds the same 3.1g of tea, so pick the box your household will finish in a month or two.\nYorkshire Tea is sold in boxes of 40, 80, 160 and 240 tea bags, weighing 125g, 250g, 500g and 750g. The tea and the weight per bag are the same in all four, so the only question is how many mugs you get through. All four sizes are on the Yorkshire Tea shelf at teas.co.uk.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in November 2026.\nThe four sizes in one table\n\nBoxWeightTea per bagLasts at 4 mugs a dayLasts at 8 mugs a day\n40 tea bags125g3.1g10 days5 days\n80 tea bags250g3.1g20 days10 days\n160 tea bags500g3.1g40 days20 days\n240 tea bags750g3.1g60 days30 days\n\nThe days assume one bag per mug. Divide any box weight by its bag count and you get the same answer: 3.125g of tea per bag.\n\nThe same tea in every box\nTaylors of Harrogate lists these as pack sizes of one tea, not as different products. It describes Yorkshire Tea as a blend of 10 to 20 black teas from Africa and India, and gives an average of 48mg of caffeine per cup, based on 200ml of water and five minutes of brewing. Nothing about that changes with the size of the box. If you have wondered whether the blend itself has shifted over the years, see has Yorkshire Tea changed its recipe.\nWhat does change is the cost per bag. Bigger boxes often work out cheaper per mug, but offers move around, so we do not print prices here. To compare, take the live price of each box in the shop block and divide it by the number of bags.\nWhich size suits which household\n\n40 bags. One person who drinks a mug or two a day, a guest room, a caravan, or a first try of the blend. It is gone in a few weeks, so it is always fresh.\n80 bags. The standard box and the easiest to store. It suits one or two tea drinkers and lasts about three weeks at four mugs a day.\n160 bags. A couple who both drink tea through the day, or a small family. Roughly six weeks at four mugs a day, three weeks at eight. We look at this size in Yorkshire Tea 160.\n240 bags. A busy family kitchen, a shared house, a small office or a club. A month at eight mugs a day. Our guide to running a busy kitchen on the Yorkshire Tea 240 box covers it in detail.\n\nA simple rule: buy the biggest box you will finish in about two months. Past that, a smaller box bought more often is the better habit.\nSizes and blends beyond these four\nTaylors also lists tea bag packs of 400, 600 and 1040 on its own site. We do not stock those. The largest Yorkshire Tea box we sell is the 240.\nThe other blends come in fewer sizes.

For the same exercise with another brand, see Tetley tea bag sizes compared.\nKeeping a big box at its best\nTaylors' storage advice is one line: keep the tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. With a 160 or 240 box, that means keeping the bulk of the bags sealed in a cupboard and decanting a week's worth into a caddy by the kettle. The card box itself goes in your paper and cardboard recycling.\nYorkshire Tea sizes at a glance\n\nYou areChoose\nOne light tea drinker, or trying the blend40 tea bags, 125g\nOne or two regular tea drinkers80 tea bags, 250g\nA couple or small family on several mugs a day160 tea bags, 500g\nA big household, office or club240 tea bags, 750g\n\nCommon questions\nHow much does a box of 240 Yorkshire Tea bags weigh?\n750g. That is 3.125g of tea per bag, the same as every other size.\nIs the tea in the big boxes different from the small ones?\nNot by weight or by name.

At four mugs a day that is 40 days of tea.\n\nReference noted\nPack sizes, blend description, caffeine figure, storage and packaging advice were checked against Yorkshire Tea: the original blend, Yorkshire Tea: Yorkshire Gold and Yorkshire Tea: Hard Water.
