Description
Our luxury blend. Made with tea from the world’s finest tea gardens, Yorkshire Gold is a rich and refreshing brew. The smooth malty flavour of the second flush of the Assam season are combined with the fresh lively character of peak season teas from Rwanda and the highlands of East Africa. The result is a luxurious, full-bodied tea with a rich flavour. Top quality and great taste.
People are very particular about their tea, but there’s one aspect of tea making that really sparks debate… milk or tea first? ‘Miffy or Tiffy?’, we call it. You’re bound to have your own theory, and if tea is brewed in a pot, there is no definitive right or wrong answer. If you’re making tea in a cup though, it’s never milk first – it reduces the water temperature so it doesn’t brew properly.
We join the story in 1886, when Charles Edward Taylor noticed that different regions had different water, and that this affected the taste of their tea. He began creating bespoke blends for each region, using top quality teas from around the world. We still do this today, producing slightly different blends of Yorkshire Tea to suit the water it will be made with. We even make a Hard Water blend so people who live in areas with really hard water, like York or London, can still enjoy a proper brew.
