Yorkshire tea?

Post by Airspeed »

This evening, I noticed Real Yorkshire Tea from Taylors of Harrogate.

If it is truly the way to make a "real brew", WT# is it doing in a tea bag!?
They claim that it's "blended in the rolling hills of Yorkshire", as though that is supposed to enhance it somehow :dunno:

Two qestions:
Anybody tasted it?
Any good?
I might still not buy it, btw. :lol:
Cheers, Mike.

It's certainly popular over here Mike though like Dave.. I rarely drink tea. Grab a small box (should one exist) and give it a try. If you like it.. all well and good. If you don't.. give it to visitors you're not that keen on :lol:

We have some 'Yorkshire TREE' that was brought over by my son recently, it seems to go well with our limestone water. I'm a coffee man myself though, so cannot comment!

Yorkshire Tea sells here as it is blended for hard water areas. "Here" is on the Essex/ Herts. border.

By coincidence, whilst I was sitting here lost in concentration on my next build, SWMBO walked in carrying my afternoon cuppa (bless her :agree: ).
Yes, it's Taylors Yorkshire tea which apparently we've had for years, 'cos 'we' like it, she said.

You learn something new every day. Cambridge water is very hard, so I'll buy some.

My Dad would have nothing else, to the point that the first time we went to Australia, he took a box of it with him. I found out, as we were going through arrivals at Sydney and said we'd have to go through the 'goods to Declare' channel. When we got to the customs officer and showed him what we'd got, he said 'No worries mate, I'm not bothered about that' and we went straight through. We therefore missed the long queues in the 'nothing to declare' channel.

Yes, it's very good. If you can find the 'Gold' version, it's even better.

It even has an aviation link. Check out -

Tell me about it, I swear I've seen six inch nails come out of the tap. Kettles last about two minutes.
