Taylors Harrogate Green Jasmine Teabags Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "The smell is very pleasant. Taste very good and just the right amount of mint."
• "It has a wonderful Jasmine aroma and taste, reminding me of my years living and working in the UK."
• "I've been wanting to try lapsang for a long time. I'm glad i finally did. This is a fabulous tea treat! I love the smoky flavor."
• "I have tasted a few brands of earl grey and I like this blend."
• "This tea is exquisite! I've bought lots of boxes of jasmine tea from Asian markets and such, and they were not the real deal. This one decidedly IS!"
• "I really like this tea and highly recommend it."
• "Very delicious jasmine green tea. It definitely wowed me with the flowery jasmine taste."

Cons:

• "It is awful- stale and therefore probably old."
• "However, this tea has no flavor."
• "This tea tastes more like dirt."
• "Taste is bland your NOT hit with that WOW !!"
• "Both boxes taste like cardboard tea."
• "The flavor is not as robust as I was expecting."
• "Each bag has essentially no flavor? I had to double up to even get any sort of taste."

Packaging

Pros:

• "There is a foil bag to keep the flimsy tea bags fresh as they are not individually wrapped."
• "I appreciate that it's packaged in an environmentally-friendly manner, without individual wrappers around each bag."
• "The lack of the tag and string, plus not being individually wrapped makes this a good choice ecologically."
• "The box is so elegant on the outside, the inside has a gorgeous blue and white print and each individual bag looks like a little gift."

Cons:

• "One thing I did find strange was that the box only stays together when it is closed; the front flap is not attached to the side when the box is open, so I had to tape the corner."
• "This is sadly not the first time that I’ve received a severely damaged box of tea from Amazon."
• "Also, the teabags are dumped inside the cardboard box, as if you wanted formaldehyde with your tea, and the box is not glued well enough together, so it falls apart at the seams before it's even half empty."
• "The box holding the fifty bags was very flimsy and had been crushed."
• "The box of 50 tea bags arrived with damage to it."
• "The outer box was crushed."
• "The box fell apart as soon as I opened it and needed to tape it back together which isn't too big of a deal, but I hope being exposed to air won't affect it too much."

Price

Pros:

• "A little bit pricey but you get what you pay for, “Quality”."
• "At under $11/50 teabags per box made it very affordable."
• "I paid less than $6 for 50 bags of the jasmine tea."
• "It's the best taste for the price!"

Cons:

• "Today, August 15 the price is $14.94. It has more than tripled in price in 12 months."
• "Now the price has almost tripled as of March 17,2024."
• "The price jumped up recently and I'm sad for that."
• "I mistakenly thought this less expensive item (50 tea bags for $5+) would be the same quality as earlier green tea with jasmine that I had purchased from this manufacturer. It's not, so the difference in price makes sense."

Quality

Pros:

• "This will always be in my cupboard from now on."
• "I have tried many, many English breakfast teas over the years from Twinings to PG Tips and in my opinion, Taylors of Harrogate has the best flavor."
• "I love Taylor of Harrogate teas. This one produces a smooth wonderful tasting black tea."
• "The Scottish Breakfast blend is a tasty, rich tea I love for afternoon tea break."
• "This Taylor blend of Scottish Breakfast tea is my favorite."

Cons:

• "This very decent, inexpensive tea comes in such a rubbish box, it falls apart in your hands."
• "Tea bags are connected to each other in pairs. Need scissors to separate."
• "The tea bags are packaged together and not individually wrapped. It also does not have the tea bag string so I used a spoon to stir it up."
• "These sachets were not individually wrapped and the quality was compromised."
• "When I poured boiling water over the tea bag, it went to pieces and I had to strain the tea."
• "The tea bags come in sets of two that are stuck together; you have to actually tear them apart which feels sort of cheap."
• "This is the dust they sweep off the floor at the end of the day, put into tea bags. Pitiful product, zero flavor."
