Flavor

Pros:

  • "No one makes better tea than Yorkshire teas of harrogate, especially the gold ones."
  • "This tea is strong and very flavourful."
  • "The flavour of Yorkshire tea is not comparable to others on the market- it's strong and full bodied and doesn't need 3 bags to make a strong brew unlike the local teas."
  • "Smooth-tasting, not bitter—great, strong flavor when steeped for 3 or more minutes."
  • "If you love black tea, look no further for the perfect cup of delicious nectar that also manages to keep you awake throughout the day."
  • "This is the best tea I have ever had. It's just soooo incredibly smooth that it catches you by surprise!"
  • "Yorkshire tea, Yorkshire red especially, has a very pleasant earthy flavor with relatively tiny amounts of bitterness."

Cons:

  • "I could only take a few sips - and had to dump it."
  • "It lacks the flavor of a 'classic black tea' and I need 3-4 bags to make a small pot."
  • "Was extremely disappointed. I have had Yorkshire Gold teabags individually wrapped in foil before and they were excellent. However these are in a different wrapping and the contents are very weak and tasteless."
  • "If I didn't add a lot of milk to the cup of tea, I don't think I could stand to drink it."
  • "The tea has no flavor at all, I cannot imagine why the quality is so different."
  • "I find it to be a little too smoky and bitter tasting."
  • "This tea is so bitter it makes it almost undrinkable without dumping in a bunch of sugar."

Packaging

Pros:

  • "The large box keeps well when leftover bags are put in plastic to preserve their freshness."
  • "The fact that I can buy it in a box of 240 without teabag strings is a great plus."
  • "Its comes in this very large box and is very economical."
  • "The teabags are as fresh as possible, considering it must be imported if you live in the U.S."
  • "These are perfect for popping in my bag to take to university."
  • "Being individually packed it means I can use them when I want without waste."
  • "The teabags themselves are fairly sturdy and can handle a surprising amount of abuse before tearing."

Cons:

  • "The 240 count came very damaged as its a heavy box of quality tea and when shipped in a bag there will be impact on the product."
  • "It was in fact pretty old looking, yellowed, crushed and busted open in transit, and there was a lot of tea dust everywhere."
  • "The interior of the box and the tea bags were covered what I call 'tea dust.'"
  • "This package arrived with holes in exterior plastic, and the individual tea pouches within are not individually wrapped."
  • "The box was destroyed on deliver and tea was spilling everywhere in the box and packaging."
  • "However, my package came dented and tea dust was strown completely over all 240 bags of tea."
  • "The box is always completely crushed. Tea bags torn, and every bag has tea powder on them."

  • "Bought the 240 count for $10.99 in 2021 currently over $27.00 in 2023."

  • "Between 2020 and now, the price has literally doubled. We used to get it for $10.99 and now it is $20."
