Taylors Of Harrogate, Tea Yorkshire, 40 Count

The English are the true experts. What do Americans know? Tea perfection. Smooth and relaxing. No bitterness. A favorite of guests.

Found this tea to be more tasty than any of the three major store brands. Highly recommended.

I order this quite a bit. It's the best for black, hot tea. It's smooth while robust. Comes sealed, tamper proof. We recently hired a Brit at work, she drinks Yorkshire Gold-- reminding me how great this tea is. It doesn't disappoint. It's a blend of Assam and Kenyan teas, as I recall. Good price on AMAZON for a 40 count box.

I am weaning myself off sugary energy drinks but I am not a morning person and still need a bit of caffeine to be human. I decided to start drinking tea again and have tried several brands. This is by far the best black tea I have had. It is strong without being bitter and the flavor is rich and smooth enough that I don’t have to have sugar. It has enough caffeine to perk me up but nothing crazy. Will definitely purchase again. Highly recommend

Good for tea bags but not compared to loose leaf. I know. That's not a fair comparison of the "dust" they put in tea bags vs. good loose leaf. We are trying to save money in these uncertain times and expensive tea just didn't make the budget. This has a nice rich flavor for a cheaper tea bag. I'm picky even about my less expensive tea bags because what's the point of drinking it if it tastes bad (looking at you, Largest Tea Brand in the USA). I'm not a total tea snob. Some of my favorite tea memories were showing up for work when I worked in the UK and having a nice cuppa each morning from the carafe they had in the office. I'm sure that was cheap tea but it was brewed well and tasted so nice on a cold morning with a splash of milk. This tea is a bit bitter (so I brew it slightly less than I do my loose leaf I used to get). For a "store brand" tea I'd have to say this hits the spot if you don't over brew it. I believe it is hard to control the brewing with "dust" tea bags, but it'll just be an adjustment. I know this whole review sounds tea snobby. I LOVE tea (hate coffee). This will fit the bill nicely.

If ever a humble box of teabags deserved a knighthood, it’s this one. Taylors of Harrogate’s Yorkshire Gold is not merely a tea—it’s a quiet triumph of British blending, a golden standard for those who believe a proper cuppa should stir both the senses and the soul. From the moment the kettle sings, Yorkshire Gold delivers. The aroma is rich and reassuring, like a well-worn armchair in a sunlit parlour. Brewed to a deep amber, it offers a bold, malty character with just enough finesse to keep the conversation civil. The blend—sourced from the top ten tea gardens in Assam, Rwanda, and Kenya—is robust without being brash, smooth without sacrificing strength. Each of the 40 teabags is a promise: of mornings made bearable, of afternoons redeemed, of guests quietly impressed. Whether served in bone china or a chipped mug, it holds its dignity. In short, Yorkshire Gold is the tea you reach for when diplomacy fails and only Yorkshire will do. A national treasure in a cardboard box.

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.

Have ordered this tea twice due to pure enjoyment. Smooth and flavorful, this makes an an amazing pitcher of iced tea for summer refreshment. 😋
