In 1903, a group of tea enthusiasts came together to create a brand that would soon become a household name - Typhoo Tea. For decades, Typhoo has been a beloved staple in cupboards all around the world. However, recent circumstances have led the century-old company to file for administration.
The announcement came yesterday, when Typhoo revealed that it had recorded losses of nearly £40 million in the past year. This was followed by their decision to appoint administrators in an attempt to repay their debts. It's been less than two weeks since this news broke, but it's important to note that this doesn't mean Typhoo's tea will disappear from supermarket shelves overnight.
The administration process allows the company to continue trading as usual while a new buyer is sought. This means that for the time being, tea lovers can still enjoy their favorite Typhoo blends. The company's iconic slogan, "you only get an oo with Typhoo," has been a household catchphrase for over a century since its founding in Birmingham.
Despite their long-standing success, Typhoo has faced financial struggles in recent years. The rise in popularity of coffee, the impact of the pandemic, and the ongoing cost of living crisis have all contributed to mounting losses for the tea maker. And just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, a break-in at their factory last year dealt them another blow.
This break-in at their Moreton factory caused significant damage and resulted in even greater losses for the company. In fact, their losses widened from £9,600,000 to a staggering £38,000,000 in just one year. Meanwhile, their sales plummeted from £33,700,000 to £25,300,000.
Despite these challenges, Typhoo remains determined to find a way to keep their doors open and continue providing their loyal customers with delicious teas.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a successful rescue and brighter future for Typhoo Tea.
