Salada Orange Pekoe tastes like Hay

I am not a tea drinker but I always keep a box of orange pekoe Salada tea in my cupboard for those occasions when I do want it. It was the one our family bought for generations. I have found in the past years that this brand does not taste like it used to years ago. It's gotten worse and my latest purchase tastes like hay and has a barn-like horse manure smell.

There was no richness to it. This is not tea. I demand that the company tells us where these tea leaves are grown and how, and where were they grown in the past. It could also be the bags that they use - they look plasticky.

It looks like another mass produced by the cheapest means possible product yet again by investment corporations. I am going to look for a different brand this time.

Did not like the taste of the strong orange, I also thought this one might be good due to being orange and I love orange in most drinks and such but sadly it was not to my liking. Would not buy this again.

Honestly, I did not like it...I brought it to the office (since never heard of this brand before until now) and decided to give it a try. It was cheaper than rest, no one knew what it was haha which was kind of bad.
The orange pekoe was NOT the same flavour. Did not brew as nicely, and honestly the aroma and flavour was not the same as the other tea brands that have perfected the orange pekoe flavour. I was disappointed, I looked just now and doesn't look like many people are drinking the salada brand of teas.....
