Better Tea in Campus Cafes

I want to see better tea implemented across campus cafes because I believe the current tea does not appeal to the majority of people. The current option is a somewhat fancy brew that comes in an environmentally unfriendly "silken" plastic or nylon type pyramid bag. As someone who enjoys a cuppa, I found the brew particularly weak despite prolonged brewing time and would welcome a simple staple brand such as 'Yorkshire' tea, for example. Surely these options would also lower supply costs - I know some bags from staple brands can be barely a penny per teabag when bulk bought.

Although only a slight adjustment, the benefit to students and staff of enjoying a simple yet delicious hot beverage that provides a warm, homely feeling has the ability to provide a better mood all-round, especially during times of stress.

Do away with the fancy stuff, give us a proper brew!

(An alternative solution would be to provide a choice of teabag at the counter, for example between the current tea or 'Yorkshire' tea. Similar to how when ordering coffee on campus you are given the choice between 'light' and 'dark' roast.)

Union President,

Unfortunately, this idea was voted on but did not reach the required threshold of votes within the one month period that voting was open for and so is not currently being worked on.
