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]

Yorkshire is a basic, moderately strong, reasonably tasty, unassuming black-tea blend—nothing special, but still just bold enough to sneak into the upper 40th percentile of bagged black teas I've had.

The dry-bag aroma and in-cup smell and taste can be described the same way: plain, short on standout notes or c...

It's alright! Not as good as their regular tea! It didn't produce a particularly glimmering, sparkly effect, as I was expecting. Wasn't too happy about that. I practically threw my pot on the floor. But I drank it. And it was alright. There wasn't no gold in this tea...

Good stuff, mate! You Brits got some good OLLLLLLLLE tea!! This tea is good for sweet tea, or with just a little milk. This is better than their Yorkshire Gold, strangely. Bedtime Brew is a good version, as well.

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.
