Please don't buy our tea again.

Let's have a proper brew
- Replying to @sulaAliceSue, you're shouting at tea. Please do look after yourself and try to be kind to others. We're going to mute you now.
- Replying to @YorkshireTeaBut for anyone about to vent their rage online, even to a company - please remember there's a human on the other end of it, and try to be kind.
- So it's been a rough weekend. On Friday, the Chancellor shared a photo of our tea. Politicians do that sometimes (Jeremy Corbyn did it in 2017). We weren't asked or involved - and we said so the same day. Lots of people got angry with us all the same.

- Replying to @YorkshireTeaWe've spent the last three days answering furious accusations and boycott calls. For some, our tea just being drunk by someone they don't like means it's forever tainted, and they've made sure we know it.
