If you love a well balanced and robust tea you will love Taylor's Yorkshire Red loose leaf tea. I am also a fan of Taylor's Gold, but first thing in the morning, there is only one tea going in my pot, and that's the Red. It's not a miracle tea, you still need to take the time to make and brew it well. You will also need to experiment with how long you brew it and the amount of tea you use. Why Loose leaf? You can adjust and tweak the amount to your liking. Also, tea bags are often made with plastics, I don't think Taylor's does, but still it's extra production and materials that just get trashed. The packaging is less and you don't have a big box to store in your cupboards. Tips for a perfect brew (for one) - boiling water (steam is better if you have it) - warm the pot for a few a minute or so with some boiled water (I use a stainless straight sided pot, heats quickly and is easier to clean) - bring water back to boil - empty pot of warming water and put in a heaped teaspoon of tea - add boiling water (about 16oz) and give it a good stir - put a mat under the pot and cover with a tea caddy - stir tea after a few minutes, put caddy back on - one final stir and then pour - I find 4-5 minutes is the ideal brew time - if it's not quite strong enough, give it a minute, take a few sips and use what's left in the top to give it a bit more strength - if you will want another cup, add extra half teaspoon of tea and top up the pot with boiling water Final point- if you are in Harrogate, Yorkshire, go to Betty's tea shop for a proper cuppa and a toasted tea cake, bliss...

Great flavour. We love this tea. Loose leaf is better than the tea bags. Saying that the teabags are nice too.

Nice strong tea Very powerful tein-content. Need a power-boost in the afternoon? Better than Red Bull!

My favorite is an Irish brand but this is a good alternative. The flavor is milder but it can be made stronger without bitterness. It’s also less expensive than the other and more easily available.

Delicious. I'll need a larger bag next time. They were in pearl form. Works the same as leaf.

Good quality.

It is good. Just wish it were slightly stronger.

I consider black tea strong when I need a level teaspoon. Because these tea leaves are granular, I used a level teaspoon. Then I steeped the tea for 5 minutes like usual. The tea was so bitter, but I tried it again on another day. I’m so glad that I did! The second time I made this tea, I used a level teaspoon once again but steeped it for 3 minutes instead of 5 minutes. It was wonderful! I would not steep it for more than 3 minutes.
