Frequent household tea drinkers
A 240-bag box can mean fewer repeat purchases when the household makes black tea throughout the week. Make sure there is room to keep the pack cool and dry.
Who might use a 240-bag box?
Shared-kitchen and informal-hosting buyers
A clearly counted box is useful when tea is served at regular afternoon snacks or in a shared kitchen. Costco describes its PG Tips 240-bag packs as suitable for catering or shared offices.
Bulk buyers with a preferred tea style
The listed 240-bag options are everyday black teas. If the household wants decaf, a flavoured blend or organic tea, choose the tea style before committing to the box size.
What matters when choosing a box?
Start with how often the tea will be used, then compare the exact packs rather than relying on the shared 240-bag count.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Check the bag count and net weight together. ASDA lists PG Tips at 240 bags and 696g; Tesco lists Tetley at 240 bags and 750g. | Tea is made often enough for a large box to be useful, but I still need space to store it. |
| Brewing method | Read the instructions for the exact pack. Costco describes a brew of under two minutes for its PG Tips pyramid bags; Bettys suggests 4–5 minutes for Yorkshire Tea. | For a short afternoon break, I want to know how the suggested brewing time fits our routine. |
| Tea style | Check the ingredient label and whether the pack is the standard black-tea version. Look for the specific blend or format you want rather than assuming a brand name identifies it. | We need a particular tea style, so the right blend matters more to us than reaching exactly 240 bags. |
| Storage and labels | Check the exact pack’s storage, ingredient and allergen information. Typhoo advises cool, dry storage for its 240-bag box. | I have somewhere suitable for a large pack and want to keep its label available while we use it. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming 240 bags always means the same amount of tea
ASDA lists PG Tips 240 at 696g, while Tesco and Morrisons list the Tetley and Yorkshire Tea 240-bag packs at 750g. The same bag count does not mean the same net weight.
Compare both figures on the exact boxes you are considering.
-
Choosing the box size before the tea style
An everyday black-tea box may not suit a household seeking decaf or a different blend. Twinings lists other black-tea styles and pack sizes, while Clipper describes its Organic Everyday Tea as an organic black-tea blend.
Decide on the tea style first, then check which pack sizes are offered for that product.
-
Assuming a listed box can be ordered immediately
Typhoo’s own shop marked its 240-bag product sold out on 1 October 2026. A product listing alone does not establish current availability.
Check the live stock status before relying on a particular box for a shared kitchen or gathering.
Brand and format references
These references describe particular products and ranges, not every tea sold under each brand.
Tetley
An everyday black-tea option listed by Tesco in a 240-bag, 750g pack.
- Tetley says its tea leaves come from Rainforest Alliance Certified tea gardens.
- Check the exact pack if you need a decaffeinated or flavoured tea instead.
PG Tips
A 240-bag everyday black-tea option with a stated net weight of 696g.
- Costco describes the 240-bag product as using pyramid bags and gives brewing guidance of under two minutes.
- Its 696g net weight differs from the 750g Tetley and Yorkshire Tea packs discussed here.
Yorkshire Tea
An everyday black tea listed in a 240-bag, 750g pack.
- Bettys suggests a 4–5 minute infusion when brewing the 240-bag product in a mug.
- This standard black-tea pack is not a decaffeinated alternative.
Typhoo
Typhoo describes its 240-bag product as black tea and advises cool, dry storage.
- The brand states that each bag contains 3.125g of tea.
- Its own shop marked the product sold out on 1 October 2026; check current stock.
Twinings
A reference for shoppers considering a different black-tea blend or pack size.
- Twinings lists English Breakfast and Earl Grey in 120- and 300-bag formats.
- Those listed formats are not an exact 240-bag substitute.
Clipper
An organic black-tea alternative when that product characteristic matters more than an exact 240-bag count.
- Clipper lists organically grown black tea as the ingredient in its Organic Everyday Tea.
- Tesco lists Organic Everyday Tea in 80- and 160-bag formats, rather than the 240-bag format discussed here.

Questions about 240-bag tea boxes
Does a 240-bag box make 240 cups?
It can make up to 240 single-bag brews if you use one bag per cup. Using more than one bag for a mug or pot changes how long the box lasts; also check net weight, which is 696g for the PG Tips pack listed by ASDA and 750g for the Tetley and Yorkshire Tea packs listed by Tesco and Morrisons.
Should every tea bag be brewed for the same time?
No. Follow the instructions for the exact pack. Costco describes brewing its PG Tips pyramid-bag product in under two minutes, while Bettys suggests 4–5 minutes for its Yorkshire Tea 240-bag product.
How should I store a large tea-bag box?
Follow the storage instructions on your pack; Typhoo advises keeping its 240-bag product cool and dry. Keep the pack information available so you can check its ingredients and allergen statement while using the tea.
