Taylors Harrogate Organic Chamomile Teabags Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "It's delicious, it smells and tastes of fireplace and fantastic black tea."
• "I love the tea, but unfortunately, when I received the item, it had a lot of spilled tea leaves."
• "The fragrance is fantastic in the box, but once it is brewed up, the flavor wasn't nearly as strong."
• "Love the flavor! Chose this quantity because it was a great deal."
• "The Chamomile tea is very good."
• "It does have a nice smokey aroma."
• "It does not have the characteristic flavor typical of superb Darjeeling teas. But it has a bright, clear, crisp taste with no overtones, rather like a bell on a cold January morning and just as invigorating."

Cons:

• "The actual tea leaves are good but not very flavorful."
• "The tea is only lightly flavored, with neither strong black tea flavors or strong bergamont flavors."
• "For my taste, too dark for an earl gray tea."
• "There is very little evidence of jasmine."
• "You can't taste any bergamot."
• "These have very little Earl Grey flavor."
• "Barely any jasmine aroma."

Packaging

Pros:

• "It arrived quickly and was nicely packaged."
• "The main package is shrink-wrapped."
• "I received an assorted gift box of Taylor tea that I enjoyed."

Cons:

• "The price for the one-time purchase of this item has risen to, fasten your seat belts, $44.93 (!?)."
• "The box was delivered beat to hell and it completely opened after i removed the wrapping."
• "Despite the nice packaging, the box/packaging was not airtight, so I had to repack."
• "Tons of tea dust between the plastic wrap and the box, and the bags are shallowly filled and too finely chopped."
• "The product appeared damaged and then reinforced with tape."
• "Since the tea packaged was shipped in a bag rather than a small box, it arrived smashed."
• "Only problem is both boxes I've received have been smashed up."

Tea Bag Design

Pros:

• "I'll start off by saying that I'm a big fan of Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire Red."
• "I prefer getting them in the individual wrapped bags and not the 50 count."

Cons:

• "This was a little bit of disappointment because of the stringless, attached teabags."
• "No string on the tea bags."
• "The tea bags do not have a string either, which I dislike."
• "The tea bags are not individually wrapped, which brings freshness into question."
• "The tea bags are not individually wrapped though, so freshness is obviously a factor."
• "Very disappointed to see these were not individually wrapped and lacking the fresh flavor."
• "Tea is not individually wrapped, which reduces waste."

Quality and Freshness

Pros:

• "I've used this product several times in the past, and it's been of good quality."
• "The tea was fresh though."
• "The quality of the tea itself was very good."

Cons:

• "The air getting to the tea just saps a bit of the punch from the flavour."
• "Strength of tea varies with purchase because of exposure to air."
• "The quality just isn't there."
• "However much of the aromatic oils that are part of the experience of drinking tea are missing."
• "The flavor is nowhere near that of lesser priced teas."
• "This is very likely NOT the actual Taylor's PURE Assam tea!"
• "The tea didn’t taste like i had hoped it would. More like an extremely acidic English breakfast."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I’ve been ordering this tea for some time. I like it a lot."
• "It is a relatively good deal for bags."

Cons:

• "It tasted oddly like Lipton tea."
• "This tea tastes like dust and dirt that sat next to the real black tea for a bit! Just gross."
• "Wouldn't go out of my way to buy again."
• "I will buy something else next time."
• "I will no longer purchase this brand again."
• "I probably won't order again. I prefer Twinnings (for the cheap end) and Mighty Leaf (for the fancy end)."
• "There's a big problem with the pricing of this otherwise very good product."
