Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold, 40 TeabagsRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

This has a smooth, strong flavor and caramel color. I usually drink PG tips gold, but that has been harder to find. This will now be my go to for tea for its similar strength and consistency. This tin is also a nice bonus and a great way to store the tea to maintain freshness.

Yorkshire Tea is by far one of the best tea brands. Each brewed bags offers a strong, bold and clean taste. Great for tea lovers who enjoy a dark cup of tea.

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.

This is beyond a five star tea. This is the best tea I have ever had. I have given up coffee and have started drinking Yorkshire gold instead. It is bold but not better it is smooth and the flavor is the best. I did not know there was such a difference in teas but I am a believer and sold on this brand. It's a little expensive but well worth the price.

As a dedicated tea drinker in the morning, and throughout the day, I think this is the best of the English tea brands. It has a full taste, without being overpowering, as well as subtle other flavors from being blended with a variety of high end teas. I always travel with a number of these tea bags stashed in my luggage since tea in American hotels is lacking in flavor.

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.

The best English Tea bags for flavor And strength. You won't be disappointed!

The best cuppa in the world for a British person living overseas to come home to after a long day. So glad to be able to get it at a great price. Amazon needs to send them in a box rather than a bag, though, as they always arrive crushed.
