Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Loose Leaf Tea, Kilo Bag, 35.27 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I really wanted to like this tea, but it turned out to be nothing like I expected. The flavor is acceptable, but I find it to be a little bitter. I was also taken aback by the ground-up tea leaves I received. If you like loose leaf tea as much as I do, this brand of tea in bags is a good alternative. br>**The tea leaves on the left are the Ceylon tea leaves I usually purchase, while the tea leaves on the right are Yorkshire Gold tea leaves.

We drink a lot of loose leaf tea in this house, almost exclusively Taylor's of Harrogate; we've tried and will continue to try other brands and types of tea, but the Taylor's of Harrogate line has been our mainstay. ,br>For example, I'm staring at cans of Afternoon Darjeeling (yes), Tea Room Blend (not my taste), Assam Estate Leaf Tea (yes, yes), Scottish Breakfast (not really) and English (our go-to lately) and, for the first time in donkey's years, Earl Gray (surprisingly enjoyable). br>Amazon recommended this tea to me as a purchase, which perplexed me because I've never purchased it and don't buy journeyman teas like Lipton's and others. I did, however, purchase it. Mostly because of the low price and the fact that it's a Taylor's of Harrogate product, I believe it could be a good cup of tea even at such a low price. To be honest, it isn't. The tea itself is an unappealing mass of little crumbs and balls of crushed leaf, at least to my taste. The bag that came with it looked a little battered, which may help to explain the bad part, which is that the tea itself is an unappealing mass of little crumbs and balls of crushed leaf. It has a dusty appearance, indicating that some of it has leaked into the cup or pot in which it is brewed. It's not a pleasant experience to drink dregs. br>I don't like the flavor because it's a little woody or muddled. Because this is a first impression, it's possible that the flavor will grow on me, but I doubt it. When the tea is smelled dry, it has a floral note, but it also has a sharp aftertaste that hints at the woody aftertaste of the brewed leaf. br>If you're looking for a tea with a moderate amount of caffeine, this one will suffice; after drinking a cup, I definitely feel energized. br>Based on my experience with this product, I would recommend Taylor's of Harrogate's other loose leaf teas instead. In the grand scheme of things, their higher monetary cost pales in comparison to the far superior flavor that these other teas produce. The named estate teas are a unique experience.

I was very excited because I thought I was getting loose leaf tea (Yorkshire Tea) - I usually get Yorkshire Tea in bags. countless years - I like it a lot. However, I received fine powder, which is weak even when brewed for a long time and appears to be fake in some ways. In addition, the flavor of the brew is distinct. As a result, I'm curious. I've been wondering if someone is faking something in the Amazon orders I've received recently.

I once saw an interview where Liam Nielsen bemoaned the "fact" that his favorite tea, Yorkshire Gold, was unavailable in the United States. Regrettably, he has never heard of Amazon because he is so well-protected. This tea is great for breakfast because it has a great flavor and gives you a boost without the bitterness that other breakfast teas can have. br>br>I've been drinking this for several years, as well as their Yorkshire tea (red label) - Changing back and forth between the two based on Amazon's sale prices, which fluctuate. I just wish there was a decaf version of this for my iced tea. br>br>I buy a kilo or an eight-pound bag. 8 oz depending on price/availability; once the bag is opened, store any unused tea in an airtight container to preserve flavor.

I decided to give Yorkshire Gold a try after seeing Sir Patrick Stewart recommend it. Very let down. This isn't a high-end tea; it's just regular teabag tea sold as "loose leaf. " The tea is CTC (crush tear curl), with very small pieces, a lot of fannings, and a lot of dust; the flavor is not subtle. This tea will be relegated to the back of my tea shelf, where it will most likely languish until I decide to compost it.

I was used to using a tea strainer in a teapot with loose leaves, for example. This may be a step you're not ready for if you're used to tea in a bag. Personally, I'm avoiding the chemicals that can leach out of tea bags. Because the tea leaves are small and dry like granules, you don't need as much to get a flavorful full-bodied cup of tea. Tea for the whole body. In a large tea pot (one that can hold up to 8 cups of water or 4 mugs), I usually place a heaping tablespoon of the tea. I'll buy it again if I see it at a good price, and I've noticed that Amazon most likely uses an algorithm to adjust prices in response to demand.

I'm a bit of a self-centered person, like many others here. 'I'm a tea snob,' confessed the tea snob. 'However, why not?' The Cofeeistas flaunt and push each other around. Tea is not a popular beverage in America (though it is in the rest of the world); however, it is popular in the rest of the world. Shame on you. br>I've been buying this tea for a few years now for early morning draughts of the delectable reddish-brown color. It's the brown tea that delivers. I save other, more expensive teas for later in the day, when I'm more alert and don't need anything to get me going. That may give the impression that I think of this as 'fuel,' but I don't. It's a very good, simple tea with a pleasant flavor. But don't expect anything spectacular: but a good solid value for your money that far outweighs anything you could get off the shelves of your local store. When paired with this, Twinings, for example, tastes like mud! Having said that, I don't believe I've ever ordered this tea and had it arrive on time. I'm not sure why this is, but it means that whenever I order tea, I always have about two weeks' worth of tea left and always run out before the next bags arrive on time. Perhaps UPS is to blame, or perhaps the seller, or perhaps customs, or perhaps all of the above. In any case, if you enjoy it as much as I do, order it at least a month to six weeks ahead of time, or you'll be stuck with inferior brews for ten days while waiting for someone, somewhere to do their job properly and deliver this very nice product to you, the impatient customer, and to me.
