Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Loose Leaf Tea, Kilo Bag

Lovely, luscious loose leaf tea, flavoursome and refreshing blend. Handy 1kg packet which is pretty good vfm. Yet to find the tea plantations in Yorkshire but they must be there somewhere. 🤔😜👍 PS the world would be a more pleasant place if we all just drank more tea, I’m convinced of it!🫶

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.

Being a bit of a tea connoisseur I can be very picky with my tea. Yorkshire Gold is now my go to every day tea. It's just the right price for an every day tea yet the quality is far superior than other brands out there. Can't recommend it enough.

Even the most snobbish of tea connoisseurs must accept that this is the pinnacle of tea blending. Taylors of Harrogate are known for the quality of their Yorkshire tea, however Yorkshire Gold is their best of the best. Do not waste your time with tea bags, loose leaf is where the real flavour is! It must also be better for the environment.

This is a bit lighter than the standard Yorkshire Tea, in my opinion not as good. Still a very nice tea though, probably better black (I normally like a little milk).
