Hooray for the teapot
If you enjoy your tea made properly in a teapot, you’ll love the taste of Yorkshire Gold. When we set out to make this blend, we wanted to make the best tasting tea on the shelf. Inside this bag is tea from ten of the best tea gardens and estates in the world – malty Assams for richness and strength, high-grown Kenyan for body and balance, and top-class Rwandan tea for exceptional brightness and a lovely golden hue. If you love your tea, this is the blend for you.

Bitter tea.. Smells good though.

This is my go-to tea for every day! When I’m not feeling like something herbal, but nothing too strong like Irish Breakfast, I’ll reach for this. I like that it’s authentically British, and tastes better quality than, for example, something like Red Rose (which is still reliable, but meh). I add lots of milk and one tablespoon of sugar, and I’m left with a warm, cozy cuppa that reminds me of mornings spent at my grandmother’s house. I usually go for the Orange Pekoe variety. Love this brand!

This is not a full leaf tea so it’d be unfair to review it as such. With that said, I find this “dust” tea to be of a great quality, it mixes well with Twining’s lady grey (75% to 25% ratio, less of LG) and goes well with milk (don’t have sugar in my tea, so can’t comment on that). It has a great flavor profile on it’s own as well. I find it to be an exceptional morning and even afternoon brew. Out of more common teas, this is surely a stand out one.

I was disappointed to see that this tea was CTC in the bag, as I have heard it touted so much, I was expecting full conventional leaf, and I have had some stomach issues with CTC in the past.

Other thank that, it is a pretty good tea, if not a little bitter, but I do like bitter flavors, so this did not bother me too much.

For me, not an everyday tea, but a once-in-a-while type of thing.

Not bad – I like the regular Yorkshire Tea in the bags more than this. I haven’t had this in some time, recall it was a little milder than the red label Yorkshire blend.

Very strong and robust indeed. Too much so, I believe, to drink without milk or cream, and sweetener (as I now prefer to do). On its own, it can be harsh.

Punches you awake but gets bitter fast. Steep carefully. Not a fancy tea, but way better than Tetley. I don’t drink this one often as I prefer my tea without milk or sugar, and this one can get ropey without such company.

This is the finest tea known to man. It’s got a bit of a kick and it’s not for those who look for subtlety. This is a wake me the hell up cuppa.

I’m not a very adventurous tea drinker. I need my tea to kick me in the nuts and jolt me out of the morning stupor. Yorkshire Gold is great for that. Its got a little more depth than the non-Gold variety, and the loose-leaf is a vastly superior taste to the bag. With milk unless you are desperate – the tannins are just too much otherwise.

I can imagine a superior tea, I’ve tasted tea with more complexity and better balance of flavours, but I’m rating this high as it is good at what it does.
