Quite simply the best bagged black tea there is. Great for warming you up on a cold winters night!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm! my first cup of tea this morning……………time to go write some grants!

I received this tea as a holiday gift and keep it on my desk at work. Good for a tea bag black tea……

A good ‘standard’ tea bag that is widely available and a lot better than Tetley or PG Tips.

Nice, strong, can’t taste the Yorkshire much but maybe I’m not looking right :)

As I suspected with the mug I brewed this morning, this tea needs far less time to steep than the sort of tea I’m used to drinking. Brewing for 3 minutes instead of 4 produced a much more satisfying cup of tea. The first couple of sips tasted a little on the sour side, but after that it was a smooth typical English Breakfast kind of tea. I’m going to keep this set aside for afternoon drinking rather than my first morning cup.

(bagged version) I think I might have let this brew too long. I’m used to Assam-based blends that taste better with about 4 minutes of brewing. My first cup of this had a stewed taste. I also put too much soymilk in it, which is my fault and not the tea’s fault. I’m going to give it another chance or two, because I think this is preparation error and not an inherently bad tea. I’d also feel foolish for wasting the 38 sachets that are still in the box.

The greatest tea out there.

My breakfast tea of choice. Tea bags are generously sized. I’ve never regretted switching from coffee to this breakfast tea.

This is possibly the best everyday tea there is. Nothing beats a good Yorkshire tea!

Stronger than your everyday Twinings or Tetleys, but ideal for a revitalizing drink in the cold of winter.

Steep for 6 minutes; small teaspoon of sugar & some half & half.

The tea of teas, the finest of brews. Can’t go wrong with a nice strong steep. I normally take mine with a good splash of milk, my first cuppa this morning was straight and black, and bloody good too.
I always make sure there’s a large box of Yorkshire, kept under lock and key, in my drawer at work.

Bracing. Strong black tea with bite, but still very smooth. I take mine with milk and sweetener, and this keeps me going through my afternoon slump. It’s coffee for non-coffee drinkers!

I usually get the loose tea – it’s my ‘working from home’ drinking tea
