Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold 40ct, Black Tea

This is hands down my favorite tea! Yorkshire Tea makes a rich, full-bodied cup that’s smooth and flavorful without being bitter. It brews strong enough to enjoy with milk but is just as good on its own. The 80-bag pack is great value, and the freshness is always consistent. If you love a proper, comforting cup of tea, this is the one to get. Highly recommend!

What can I say? To me, this is the best tea you can get in bags. Strong, rich, and full of flavor! The best tea.

Black tea is the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of them. It’s incredibly strong, with a quality of 9.5 out of 10 (just in case they release a whole leaf version in the future). The color is a perfect 10 out of 10, and the taste is also a perfect 10 out of 10.

Excellent tea. Much better than the new, extremely weak, PG Tips garbage.

This is assam tea, it is a common tea to make ice tea. Has a golden color. No calories, a lot of health benefits in tea. I am a tea drinker, not so much a coffee drinker only on occasion.The taste is better quality than the common teas at the grocery store. When you taste this tea, then try grocery store teas, you will experience the difference. I have found this tea in whole foods and stop n shop international aisle. It's more expensive, but taste it you will understand why.

The is a very good Earl Grey tea for serious tea drinkers. It has a strong flavor that casual tea drinkers might find undesirable. If you like big flavor this tea is for you. Just remember to make sure the water has a temperature of at least 212 degrees.

I’m limited in what tea I like. Twinings Black Tea is pretty much it (so far). I don’t like green tea, camomile, flavored, flowery or even spicy EB tea. I went out on a limb + ordered this + it’s SO GOOD. I use 2 teabags usually but for this brand I only need 1. Highly recommend especially for people that aren’t very adventurous.

I’ve been drinking tea for over 15 years — mostly gourmet stuff, and mainly loose leaf green varieties. They’re very tasty, but sometimes one wants something with a little more heft. I’ve had pu’er and Lapsong Souchang, but they to run on the expensive side, like fine cigars and good bourbon.I’ve never found an inexpensive black tea that wasn’t “stringy” tasting and bitter. The only black teas I’ve really enjoyed were Earl Greys, but, again, sometimes one wants something “plain.” Of late, I’ve placated myself with the WalMart black tea my wife buys, but I’ve grown disenchanted with pimping out my taste buds for something so disappointing and unsatisfying.I’ve tried PG Tips in the past, and found it to be very good. I was going to buy some, and then I ran across Yorkshire. Intrigued, I began to read reviews and watch taste tests. A couple days ago I pulled the trigger on a box of Yorkshire Gold. Dear God! This tea checks all boxes. It’s inexpensive, first off, so I can enjoy it in mass quantities. Secondly, here’s my impression of the taste profile:This (in my opinion) is what a standard, everyday black tea ought to be. The scent is neither attention-getting (like Lapsong or Earl Grey), but it’s not flat either. It’s THERE. The mouth feel is chewy, with a bit of heft. I normally drink my blacks with milk. This tea has a bit of a bitter finish, but bitter in a good way — let’s you know you’ve tasted something without rolling your tongue up into a dry ball. To me, there’s not much taste progression from opening to finish; the profile seems consistent throughout. This tea is like the warm greeting of an old friend, whom you don’t want to leave. I could easily switch in the morning from my Starbucks Pike Place to this. Coffee’s just too much caffeine for me; black tea is just right.Today, I added about a teaspoon of stevia to my cup (I can’t have much sugar). The bitter completely went away, and the flavor really blossomed and came into its own. This tea screams for milk and a bit of sweet. Perhaps it’s blended with that in mind (that is, after all, how many friends across the pond take their tea), but it all came together. Caramel-y, a bit spicy, with a hint of earthy smokiness.Far as I’m concerned, this tea, while inexpensive, is three-dimensional and drinks like a much more expensive cup. It’s nothing like the thin, overly-astringent swill I’ve come to expect from finer truck stops everywhere.As an aside, I always use fresh, filtered water, and pour it over the tea at juuust under boiling. I recommend the same to all gentle readers — especially those whose tap water is especially hard or fraught with metallics. Do that with a dash of milk and a bit of sweet, and you’ll have a real brew to savor that won’t break the bank.
