Why is Tetley tea more staining than other teas?

Sorry, but i did not know that it was. Lived in England and now back in the US and unaware that it stains more than other teas.

I have never had to use chlorine to clean a cup out from Tetley, unless of course your using the cup repeatedly without washing it. I agree with the general consensus here though that it doesn't stain more than other black teas unless your comparing it to green or herbal teas. Oh and I brush my teeth just as often as I normally do without drinking tea and they look the same to me.

Don't know, but I agree, it IS.I have to use (dreaded) chlorine periodically, to clean cups, and my teeth are always in need of strenuous cleaning from the stains from tea.

I believe the higher tannin causes more staining. I agree, this brand stains more but it makes a great cuppa.

Perhaps because the British Blend is good n' strong, just as it should be! They are unlike so many other tea bags that make tea that's too weak to get out of the pot!

Tetley doesn't stain any more than any other "black" teas. If you are comparing it to green teas or herbal teas, then of course it stains more. Just remember that ALL black teas stain.

Mine have not stained at all yet; I have used them to cool chocolate covered nuts, and to bake biscuits. Maybe the generic brand is the problem?

Staining is mininmal and easily removed. I have stored spagetthi sauce without any problem. Some have said that a light spray with cooking oil will minimize staining but I haven't tried it myself.

I use the 1/2 lb Lipton Loose tea, which I don't believe is very finely ground, and his holes leak leaves out everywhere. It's pretty excessive, which is why I'm returning him.

Im not sure. We have 5 people drinking the tea so we probably go through it a little faster than others (It has been about 2 months). Also, tt takes fine, but it does taste a little different than the normal Earl Grey tea.

It probably is, I have the biscuit color, although its quite a dark tan, darker than I really wanted, personally I wouldn't buy it again, I didn't think it took out tea stains very well, and it also requires you to wear gloves as its a skin irritate. I found all purpose soft scrub to do a better job, and for the price they wanted, to me it just wasn't worth it. I hope this helps you decide.....

I'd need a little more information before I could a answer your question... Did you use the product as directed? How much did you use on the stain at one time? I've never had that happen with this product. You could have used too much or not let it dry between uses, or something in the carpet cleaner may have reacted with the enzymes in the Nature's Miracle. I personally love the product and always recommend it.

I drink a lot of tea also and it stains teeth as badly as coffee. I use the optic stuff in the morning at least 30 min before eating drinking, mainly focus on using it at night before I go to bed so it lasts longer.

I have tried turning my cup upside down only to see if it would leak. It does not leak, but the cap does fill up with the liquid so opening after turning the cup upside down becomes tricky or even dangerous if the tea is very hot. As for staining, it depends on what sort of tea you drink on the regular. So far, mine has not stained but I rinse it after each use. I think this purcahse was very worth it. I have been looking for a travel mug just for tea for many years and this is the first one I have had that I would recommend.

I like Bigelow's regular green tea better. Also, this organic tea actually made me have issues with coughing while drinking it. The regular kind from the stores does not cause me this same issue. I tried stopping and starting repeatedly. Always the same issue.

The cup doesn't stain at all, at least, not with oolong/green tea, which is what we use it for. The mesh strainer does stain over time, but it doesn't affect the flavor of the tea. You can't take the leaves out by turning the cup upside down; the leaves stay in the brew, so with oolong or green tea you just drink down to the level of the leaves and then add more water. We drink 4, 5, 6 infusions this way every day.

I've had mine for years. The container does not get stained. The mesh filter does a little, as it is harder to clean.

I've experienced the staining. Recommend wiping the face of the pads wit mineral spirits before using.

We have an ivory rug and I find no stains . There is always a possibility of some stains because these are dried hide and there may be some grease in them . My lab usually took his outside

I've been using it almost every day for two months and it hasn't stained. Unfortunately, there's no real way to take the leaves out while there's liquid inside, but that hasn't been an issue for me, I just take them out after I'm done drinking my tea. For me, this tumbler was totally worth it; it's made loose leaf tea so much more convenient and you can just throw some leaves and hot water in there and enjoy it at or on the way to work and school (plus, you can use it for other beverages too).

Have not experienced that. I use mine for coffee and water and have had no problems with staining or other issues.

I can't really tell because I have not use it very much yet. I don't think you'll have this stains if you clean it after sweating or use it , regularly. I use the black one more frequently instead of this, it is more easy on my joints and bones.
