When did Tetley do away with the metal staples holding the tags onto their tea bags? .....bloody things keep coming off thus proving glue is worse than a mechanical fixing .....

You should be using leaf tea, not teabags.

Insert tea spoon into cup, lift bag with spoon and remove.
so what is the point of having a tag on a string then ? ...
Identity
None whatever.
how much ? ...
The only point I have ever seen is that when you order a tea in a cafe, you can see which tea you got. I have returned one in the past, when they gave me plain tea instead of Earl Grey. I would have noticed when I tasted it, but the tag told me before I did.
"Tampax Teabags"
tea bagging....bona
Jim GM4 DHJ ... was thinking very hard :
Pay the extra for some quality tea - Yorkshire Tea.
Tried that, wasn't overly impressed. Also tried the two grades of Tesco leaf tea, but ended up preferring PG Tips Loose Leaf.
tried that...nothing special
do you read cups timmy ? ....
There isn't really enough sun in Yorkshire for the plants to grow properly ;-)
And apparently some of these bags now contain plastic, sneaked back inafter some years due to strength problems, apparently. Brian
But there is in Cornwall, apparently

Also grown in Scotland

No idea what the teas are like though. And I read that the UK climate is similar to that in Darjeeling, so no reason why it shouldn't be grown in Yorkshire. I have a tea plant in my garden (Camellia sinensis sinensis), out of curiosity rather than to make tea with it.
We were given some Cormish tea - it tasted terrible - we threw it away.
But it's not even grown in Yorkshire!
