"...It doesn't seem to impact the actual flavour at all. For best results in storing, you'll probably want to use a separate container, since this..." Read more

Very powdery
3 out of 5 stars
Very powdery
The flavor is good. Can get bitter if you steep too long. The 3 stars review is because this product is not leafy. It’s powdery and leaves an unpleasant sludge at the end of each cup of tea. It is supposed to be whole leaf tea. See photo for what the end of each cup looks like.

    Size: 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    Being picky about tea, I found this blend at my favorite tea garden. When the tea garden closed I looked urgently for where I could get this blend and happily found it! Not only do I drink it hot every morning but have concocted a delicious sweet tea with this blend that is very refreshing.
    This larger size is very well insulated and keeps the tea fresh, no matter how long it is stored.
    I have had great difficulties getting this size - which is my only frustration with the product.
    It is a truly classic tea blend and I hope it is always made available!

    This household goes through a lot of loose leaf tea, almost exclusively of the Taylor's of Harrogate brand. Yes we have and continue to experiment or sample other brands and types of teas, but the Taylor's of Harrogate line has been our primary domain.,
    So, for instance right now, after having dug them out from the pantry, am staring at cans for Afternoon Darjeeling (yes), Tea Room Blend (not my taste), Assam Estate Leaf Tea (yes, yes), Scottish Breakfast (not really) and English (our standby, of late) and, for the first time in donkey's years, the Earl Gray (surprisingly enjoyable).
    Amazon served this tea up to me as a purchase suggestion which puzzled me because I haven't ever bought it and I don't buy the journeyman teas the likes of lipton's and others of that ilk. I bought it though. Mostly on price and my surprise that it is a Taylor's of Harrogate product it made me think that even at such a cheap price it could be a good cup of tea. It is not, frankly. At least not to my taste. The bag that came looked a little the worse for wear which may help to explain the bad bit which is that the tea itself is an unprepossessing mass of little crumbs and balls of the crushed leaf. It looks almost dusty, which means that a bit of it escapes into the cup or pot one brews it in. Sipping dregs is not an enjoyable cup of tea.
    The flavor is a bit woody or muddled and I don't care for it. This is an early impression so it is possible the flavor will grow on me, but I don't think so. While the tea does have a floral note when smelled dry it has a sharp aftertaste that hints at the woody aftertaste of the brewed leaf.
    If you are looking for a tea with relatively high caffeine content, this one will do, as I definitely sense a charge of energy after drinking a cup.
    Based on this experience I would steer you away from this product and toward Taylor's of Harrogates other loose leaf teas. In the greater scheme of things their greater monetary cost is insignificant in the face of the far superior flavor these other teas yield. The named estate teas are a special treat.

    I am a lifelong black tea ☕️ drinker, but being American, Lipton tea bags were all I knew till my 30s when I tried the Twinings made for the USA. So much better but in my 40s I tried an English import, PG Tipps, which I gather is the Lipton of the U.K. You Stateside people who snobbish it up about drinking this, put the noses down. Drink a cup of Lipton then shut it. U.K's worst (to some) is impossible to beat here. 🇬🇧

    I am 62 now and since that first box of Tipps, never touched another non U.K. tea except for a few (USA based) British Tea Store specialties like Huckleberry black tea. Just for illustration, I rarely drink Tipps except for the now and again quick cup and a superior iced tea, my taste for a flavorful and strong morning cup are an imported BRITISH tea, Taylors of Harrogate pure Assam loose leaf. I enjoy Bewley's Irish Breakfast blend and the U.K. Twinings import version of English Breakfast now and again, and enjoy trying new-to-me imported blends from Scotland and Ireland as well as England, and singles like Nigiri, Assams from specific tea gardens, etc. Just to let you know, I love a good strong black tea throughout my day starting with the first eye opening breakfast pot.

    I had been mulling over trying the two Yorkshire loose teas, Red and the more expensive Gold and finally pulled the trigger on both.

    These teas are not the normal teas a loose tea drinker expects to get at all! One who drinks a lot of teas has learned that (arguably to some) bag teas are the sweepings so to speak (not literally!), the small broken leaf bits and there is a lot of powdery stuff. Loose leaf tea are the whole tightly curled leaves and broken ones too, unavoidable in packing and handling, but whole or broken they are distinctly leaves, dried curled leaves.

    Both Red and Gold have nothing resembling leaves, broken or otherwise. The best I can describe them are tiny, almost round granules of tea. Not powder, but granules, very odd looking to anyone used to loose LEAF teas. If you use a pot without tightly woven infuser or one with almost invisibly tiny holes, the strainer holes in the spout won't even begin to keep you from filling your cup full of tiny tea granules.

    Unless you like tea that is literally coal black and so strong that the strength overwhelms the delicious flavor, try a pot or cup with the recommended measurements, to test, but if you enjoy a less black, less ridiculously strong cup, cut back just a bit. No "teaspoon for the pot" extra LOL. I love a strong, assertive tea, like my beloved Assam, but this stuff is the tea that may curl your hair.

    All that said, it is delicious once you find that "sweet spot" of tea amount and steeping time. Do NOT steep extra time by the way. This stuff is rocket fuel. I highly recommend both flavors, just don't expect nor treat it as a regular loose leaf tea.

    An old favourite, especially when you are married to a Yorkshireman. Robust strong morning tea - actually anytime tea!

    I love this loose tea, and it is very difficult to find. The flavor is great and I tell anyone who will listen that this is so. This tea is so great that my sister-in-law has stolen this latest shipment in order to 'give' it to me as a Christmas present.

    Damned in-laws, great tea.

    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!🫶

    トワイニングのイングリッシュブレックファーストと似てる。ミルクティー、ロイヤルミルクティーにして飲む紅茶。
    他のブランドにも言えることだが、特にこの紅茶は、茶葉を濾すときに細かめの網を使った方がいい。少しでも茶葉が残っていると、置いておくだけで抽出されてしまい苦味や雑味が多くなる。
