Picture the scene: it’s early in the morning, your body is crying out for caffeine and you’ve patiently waited for the kettle to boil. You sleepily make tea and start stirring when tragedy strikes – the teabag splits.

Earlier this year, the tea-maker announced it would introduce renewable and biodegradable teabags using a plant-based material for sealing, with the aim that all teabags would be biodegradable by the end of 2019.

Yorkshire Tea responded to football commentator Darren Fletcher’s complaint, apologising and adding that it’s “early days” for the biodegradable bags.
