NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The humble cup of tea is loved by Brits up and down the country – but it’s becoming ever more costly to make one.
The British Retail Consortium has warned the cost of tea bags, milk and sugar all rose last month as food price inflation jumped from 10.6% to 11.6%.
Worker shortages have also pushed up prices on top of higher costs for ingredients and energy to make a cuppa.
The ONS said a 250g pack of tea bags cost £2.28 on average, which is an increase of 25p compared with last September.
