Taylor’s of Harrogate are a very good tea purveyor. They ought to be, they’ve got a royal warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales as a supplier of beverages. Among their teas are quite a number of traditional teas such as Darjeeling, Assam, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Ceylon, and a number of other less common black tea blends. And then there’s their Yorkshire Tea brand.
Yorkshire is a very nice blend with very smooth taste. While a good, solid, standard tea, suitable
for all occasions, much like PG Tips, it’s quite a lot less… forthright, shall
we say. Yorkshire is a sort of tea that
I find more relaxing than exactly “perky.”
The smooth taste of Yorkshire goes especially well with a
basic “rich tea biscuit,” but, like Tips, there’s not much that wouldn’t do
well with this tea. To my taste,
Yorkshire would take milk a bit better than the Tips, but again, it doesn’t
necessarily need it either.
Basic enough for an everyday tea but nice enough to feel
like a “treat” – I give it a 9 of 10.
It woke me up every morning for two weeks in London, but you're right. Very smooth.
