  1. what has happened to the taste of pgtips, the flavour has changed and the tea is very weak, there is only enough tea in the bag to make a small cup NOT a mug, I have been buying pgtips for years but I dont think they are the original pgtips. I am now switching the brand of tea that I buy. I am very very disappointed that you can spoil the nations favourite cuppa !!!! arggh
