After learning of its discontinuation, one fan wrote on X: "That's a shame. It was a thing of beauty."
The same user had previously quizzed the brand on where the teabags had gone, typing: "@TwiningsUK hello there. Do you still sell the inner strength tea bags please.

Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Urgent warning over ‘exploding' gadget bought from airports recalled after ‘causing fires and burns'
AN urgent warning has been issued over "exploding" gadget that Brits buy from airports. The "overpriced" device has been recalled over the risk of causing fire and burns. 1 A magnetic wireless power bank has been recalled over safety issues Credit: Istore A company called iStore has recalled its 5,000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank over fears of causing fire and burns. Customers have been warned that the power bank's lithium ion battery can "overheat and ignite" while charging. There have already been three reports of the device exploding with one user sustaining minor burns and over £11,000 in property damage. Between February 2023 and May 2025, the company's online shop and airport vending machines sold about 8,520 of the power banks in the United States and an additional 6,400 in Canada. read more on tech Travellers about to board a long-haul flight could pick up the gadget for $46 to $65. How to check if you own the affected Power Bank Model Customers have been told to look out for the model number IST-09991/W05 written on the back and the iStore logo etched on the front to recognise the recalled product. The iStore logo may appear above the model number on some units. The recalled magnetic power bank also has a USB-C port for recharging it. Most read in Tech How to claim a refund Customers who have a recalled power bank are advised by iStore to stop using it right away and dispose of it properly. You should also email two pictures to recall@ to request a refund. Aldi urgently recalls £3.29 freezer essential over dangerous disease that affects 1 in 100 of Brits A permanent marker should be used to write "recalled" on the front of the power bank in one picture, and the model number should be displayed on the back in the second. The firm also asks for a copy of the purchase receipt, although it is not required to obtain a refund. Growing concern There is a growing concern for aviation safety as passengers carry more battery-powered items on flights. Last year, the US Federal Aviation Administration recorded three incidents of lithium batteries overheating on planes every two weeks globally In January this year, South Korea said that a spare power bank was the possible cause of a fire that had engulfed a Since that incident, airlines globally have been tightening power bank rules. Aviation rules generally say power banks should be carried in cabin baggage but increasingly airlines are banning their use on board and say they must be kept within view to spot any problems. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item

Kat Farmer's new George at Asda Collection The buzz comes just weeks after Asda launched its first-ever stand-alone George store in Leeds, which could be rolled out nationwide if it proves a hit. The new store, which opened on Saturday, May 10, in the old Asda Living unit at Crown Point Retail Park, is a dream come true for George fans. It's packed with affordable fashion, stylish homeware, must-have toys, and adorable baby gear, plus a brand new café to keep you fuelled mid-shop. There are currently 30 Asda Living stores in the UK, but the supermarket giant is testing the waters with this new George-only concept. Bosses are expected to make a decision later this year on whether more will launch across the country.

We've previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes - including the ones that will save you the most money. Look out for booze deals Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals. She said: "Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%. "The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.

Eilish said: "I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store. "Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases. "For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda's new Barbie range spotted in store. "Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p."
