Yorkshire Tea Traditional Loose Tea Leaf 250 g (Pack of 6)

Product Information

We spoke with Mou Dasgupta, the founder and CEO or Brook37 The Atelier, who echoed this recommendation. “A lot of people measure in spoons," she said. "But a spoonful doesn’t really mean anything. At Brook37, we have some teas that are so light and the leaves are so big; one spoonful isn't helpful. You really need to weigh 2.5 grams of tea.” But is Yorkshire Tea really the nation’s finest mass-produced regional chai? I decided to find out, with the help of Jimmy Green, an ex-military man who became addicted to tea when serving in Hong Kong alongside teetotal Gurkhas. He runs Tea from the Manor, which blends loose-leaf teas for hotels across the north-west. The main elements that loose tea should be protected from are sunlight, oxygen, and moisture. As a result, loose leaf is best stored in an opaque, airtight canister. When stored properly, loose leaf can retain decent flavor up to two years, although peak freshness is more likely to be from six months to a year. Keep in mind that tea shouldn't be perishable unless it contains ingredients that otherwise are. Enjoying the tea good strong taste, glad that I can buy it from your shop as here in Australia you can only buy the tea bags. Looking forward many more cups of tea.

Absolutely! It's easy to make tasty iced tea with loose leaf. It can be brewed "hot" by steeping the loose leaf tea in hot water, straining out the leaves, and adding cold water to the concentrated hot tea water. The other method is "cold brewing," where you let loose leaf tea steep in cold water for up to 12 hours before serving. An iced tea maker simplifies and may even speed up the process, but a regular iced tea pitcher works well, too. It was all excellent viral marketing for Yorkshire Tea, which used the resulting publicity to clarify that the tea is in fact only blended in Yorkshire, before being shipped around the country. This piece was written by Derek Rose, the tea expert for The Spruce Eats. He researched each tea variety that appears on this list, as well as different methods of processing and steeping. Derek graduated from Columbia University with an MFA in Creative Writing and currently lives in Seattle. He joined The Spruce Eats in 2019.

I have a love-hate relationship with tea brands like Yorkshire Tea. As a tea nerd, I’ve sampled some of the finest loose leaf teas available… and this is definitely not even close. If this was a review that was purely about the quality of the tea leaf, how it is grown and processed, Yorkshire wouldn’t do very well at all. From there, the last step is to pour the tea into your cup if using a teapot or remove the infuser if you're making a single cup, and enjoy!

I line up the teas we are to taste: Yorkshire Tea, Lancashire Tea, Cornish Tea, West Country Tea, Welsh Tea and Ringtons (which trades heavily on its Newcastle-upon-Tyne origins), plus the only tea I could find that is grown wholly in Britain: Kinnettles Gold, propagated and hand-rolled on a farm in Angus, north-east Scotland, in such tiny quantities that they produce no more than 2kg a year. This tea review is going to explore just how tasty Yorkshire Tea is, and whether other factors take anything away from it. If you are new to my blog, you should know that I consider the quality of the tea leaf, the aroma of the tea, and the ethical/organic certifications that come along with it when I give a star rating. Learn more about my reviewing process in the Tea Review Index. The aroma coming from the dried leaf is pretty amazing! It’s bright and refreshing with distinct tannin notes (that classic bitter flavour that tea has) and a hint of malt. I love how fresh it is.Fill a teapot or infuser with the right amount of tea. Start with 2 or 3 grams of tea per cup (unless the brand recommends otherwise) and adjust from there based on taste. It's just as common to come across a tea blend as a single-variety loose leaf tea. Longtime tea drinkers may already be partial to a certain blend, like Earl Grey or English breakfast to name a couple popular ones. Many tea brands also make unique blends outside of the well-known options. A blend of different teas, along with other ingredients, will naturally alter the flavor that reaches your cup. Cannot survive without this tea! Strong but smooth flavour, everyone I make a cup for always comments on how delicious it is! Really expensive to buy in Australia but British Corner Shop is reasonably priced and exceptional customer service all round. Don’t bother the readers’ editor with this one, Yorkshire chums. Yes, there were several wars, not one, and you won a few. But the last one ended when Henry Tudor (later Henry VII), a Lancastrian, defeated and killed Yorkie Richard III (the car park king) at Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485. So we won. Top of the pots
