Typhoo Tea has been rescued by vape maker Supreme in a £10m deal which it said would keep the brand "in British hands".

The 120-year-old teamaker fell in to administration in November as its sales slumped and debts rose.

Manchester-based Supreme makes the e-cigarette brand 88Vape and distributes nicotine and home products to supermarkets.

Something, something, businesses getting replaced with vape shops.

I can’t work out if this is just a ploy to get grannies hooked on nasty tea flavoured vapes.

I've been huffing tea for years. Cough, cough.
