They are only for a few blends and the classic Steenbergs labels for blends, spices etc in the glass jars are unchanged and remain as the core option – still with the “Blended in Yorkshire”. These are a new and alternate style to respond to customers who have said they find the jars very difficult to read, a bit low tech and without a recipe idea. On the tins themselves, we were forced to find an alternate source when we had supply issues with our Indian spice dabbahs as the Indian companies were unable to deliver product ever or of a consistent quality plus the price of the tins had tripled due to price rises in stainless steel; we had actually stopped doing them for some time. Finally when we showed the new versions last year in draft at the Speciality and Fine Food Fair we received a very favourable response, so I guess a few people liked them.

For me, one of the great charms of Steenbergs jars and tins is the label with 'Blended in Yorkshire' in vaguely italic script. These, in comparison, are a bit cartoony.. garish even, and nowhere near as individual and distinctive. I'm sorry you've abandoned the Indian tins in favour of ones from China, too.
