↑About Yorkshire Tea
Yorkshire Tea is a brand of tea owned by Taylors of Harrogate. Yorkshire Tea is a very popular in the UK; in 2007 the company estimated that about 9 million cups of the tea were drunk daily.[1] One source claimed that in 2008, Yorkshire Tea constituted 8% of the market share for tea in the UK.[2] The Yorkshire Tea brand is advertised significantly on television, and its advertisements often attract discussion and media attention.
Yorkshire tea has a rivalry with the much smaller Lancashire Tea, in a so-called “war of the cosies”.[2]

Read Full ReviewThe dry tea is CTC tea that has been ground up further, almost to dust. It smells earthy and vegetal.
The scent of the brewing tea is oaky, but mild. The flavor is stronger than the aroma would indicate, but is still quite mellow. The tea has nice body, but the flavors are muted. It's not particularly bitter or astr...
It is a good tea - upmarket for standard tea which is not known to be very good quality anymore in the UK although I live in Canada where the same applies.
