Typhoo Tea falls into adminstration (www.bbc.co.uk)

Typhoo Tea has fallen into administration as the 120-year-old brand's sales slump, losses widen and debts rise.

Advisory firm Kroll has been appointed to handle the administration and find a buyer for the tea business.

Vape and battery maker Supreme is front runner to buy Typhoo, but it said there was "no certainty" a deal will go ahead.

Typhoo has been trying to turn itself around for some time, but it suffered a setback after trespassers damaged its former factory in Moreton, Merseyside last year.

It is currently majority-owned by private equity firm Zetland Capital.

Ahh and there it is

Do people... like Typhoo? I'm sure I could acquire the taste. It's not awful, but I've only ever purchased one box. I felt it was every so slight salty, like it had been stored next to some bouillon cubes.

No offence if this tea is your jam.
