Yorkshire TeaGold Loose Leaf, 8.8 Ounce, Black TeaRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

Being picky about tea, I found this blend at my favorite tea garden. When the tea garden closed I looked urgently for where I could get this blend and happily found it! Not only do I drink it hot every morning but have concocted a delicious sweet tea with this blend that is very refreshing.This larger size is very well insulated and keeps the tea fresh, no matter how long it is stored.I have had great difficulties getting this size - which is my only frustration with the product.It is a truly classic tea blend and I hope it is always made available!

I must admit to being a a bit of a tea snob; though perhaps not the 'right' kind of tea snob. I judge tea on how it tastes, not by how I think it should taste based on its price. I disappointed a tea lover once by not saying that my favorite tea was Darjeeling - which I find to be just a little flat. I like my black tea to have a strong reddish color and a good bite of tannin. I drink it brewed strongly and quickly, with a touch of sugar and a splash of milk. I expect it to be fragrant, with just a touch of smoke. I have used Twining's loose leafed teas and like them, though perhaps not quite as much. I have used one or two more expensive loose leafed teas in tins and I like them, too. I have tried a few Tazo teas and have found it impossible to get the tea strong enough, even when using ten or twenty times the tea (by cost, not by weight)! Taylor's of Harrogate gives me a rich, dark, strong brew with good bite. It may be just a bit less fragrant than really expensive teas, but I love the flavor.Those who drink tea occasionally and like to look at the tins on the counter will likely find those to be a good value. Those who guzzle half a gallon of tea a day may find that they save a little money buying tea in these huge foil pouches. And they can do so without giving up any flavor or fragrance. Sealed in these large foil bags, I find the tea to be at least as fresh and sprightly as that in any tin. I move it in batches from the bag into an old tin that I keep on the counter. The bag I keep hidden in the cupboard, sealed with a clip, and seem to use it fast enough that it always seems fresh.

(I attest that I wrote this review as an actual humanoid, not AI, and I'm in no way affiliated with Taylor's of Harrowgate)So I've been fishing around for new tea blends to try and, based on all the positive press, I decided to give this a whirl, buying the slightly-less-economical smaller size (the other is 140 sachets or something like that) just in case I wound up disagreeing (because what would I do with 139 unused tea bags?)But I'm definitely going to order the larger size next time, because this is pure pleasure in liquid form. I'm not enough of a tea-snob to be able to adequately describe its various characteristics, but it's a blend of several different plain black teas, giving it a wonderful flavour-profile that's quite smooth on my palate (I'm almost certain I detected notes of Assam and English Breakfast in the mix). It's easy to see why this is such a popular tea across the pond.The tea itself is made in the "pellet-fashion" rather than true loose-leaf, but in this case that just means they were able to fit more of this ambrosia into a single bag. It doesn't seem to impact the actual flavour at all. For best results in storing, you'll probably want to use a separate container, since this particular size doesn't come in sachets. I use two teaspoons in a 14 oz. cup, steeped for four minutes, with a splash of Coffee-Mate coconut creme creamer, and every cup has been perfection so far.I know 5-star reviews are often seen as dodgy things not to be trusted, but I assure you I gave it 5-stars simply because I found absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it arrived completely unharmed.

This is good tea. It is an 8 ounce package at a decent price. I blend it with Taylor’s Scottish tea, which is too strong by itself.

This tea is very good. I use a tea ball and steep for a couple of minutes and it is not bitter at all. I will continue to purchase this brand.

Good tea, very fine cut. Those who prefer long leaves should choose a different brand.

I like the taste but it is just above average so 3 stars but really two or one star for quality - it is more of the powder then any tea leaves so goes through my tea decanter . Mild taste , no bitterness , good with bit of milk .

As a former coffee drinker, I occasionally wish I could find a tea with bold full bodied flavor...found it! This tea has satisfied the craving and I would choose this over coffee any day. Terrific either hot or iced.
