I received a HUGE box of this from LiberTEAS! WOW!!!

Honestly, this is the first time I have ever tried anything from Yorkshire (Taylors of Harrogate)…I’m so glad I got the opportunity to try it!

When they refer to this as standard…it pretty much sums it up! It’s a fairly standard black tea in a bag. I think it’s pretty flavorful for a bagged tea and it’s not bad. A good bagged tea to have on hand…never know when you might need it, ya know!?

It’s alright.

I donated this to our office ‘kitchen’. I’m having a cup now as a part of:
MORNING #2 – Bagged Bonanza Tea #1

This tea is hardcore. Honestly, it beats up other teas in back alleys and consumes their strength, adding it to its own. If you steep one of these bad boy teabags for a while, it’s almost like drinking a cup of coffee. It means series business and I love it.

I LOVE IT.

I picked up a box from a British import store when I was visiting my parents in Ontario over Easter, and I’m really considering making them send me more because this tea has become my best friend and confidant.

It’s a strong, standard black tea, and I was surprised that I liked it so much because I’m usually wary of teas that come in bags with an undetermined sitting-on-store-shelf time. But this was fresh tasting, with full, fresh, punch-in-the-face flavour.

If you drink one tea this summer, drink this one.

Classic British tea! We call it ’builder’s tea’ in my family. :) I get my mum to bring this over for me when she visits. I love how strong it is and how it stains my mug with all that tannin. This tea can be made so ridiculously strong and absolutely needs lashings of milk and sugar. I brew this tea up when I need some serious comforting. A personal favourite. Tea snobs take note: you’re missing out.

My dad works for British Imports so I get this tea as well as PG Tips and Rich Tea biscuits. To me this tea is not as good as the PG Tips but still proof that inexpensive tea bags can be great quity tea. I enjoy this tea with organic vanilla creamer and the Rich Tea biscuits every other three mornings (I have a lot of morning type teas) and because of it I always greet the rest of the day with a smile.

My best friend brought this over when she came over to visit me from Britain. It’s absolutely my favorite tea, I love it with a touch of sugar and milk.

I actually browse the shelves at Home Goods and TJMaxx for my tea as their prices are excellent and one finds some very unusual teas there. I am most definitely a hard core black tea person however, and since they no longer carry the best tea in the world – Twinning 1706, I saw lots of the Taylor’s of Harrogate and decided to try that. Wonderful stuff! Sadly however, after a year of their having it, the shelves are currently bare. So it was either back to ordering 1706 from Amazon or order my Taylor’s online. Decisions…decisions… but there really is nothing quite like the 17006.

First day in Switzerland with Cara after not seeing her for almost six months. It feels like a day at a coffee shop with her back when we were in high school. The tea is from her friend who lives in England. Swiss flag cup (nothing could be better.)

Nice and hardy! Perfect for waking up or that extra boost in the afternoon.
