Yorkshire Tea

Up until 3 months ago we always used YT. However the latest 2 boxes have been tasteless (from the same batch). YT customer services were great and sent us replacement boxes, but the first to arrive is also tasteless.

There's talk of using another brand for our 10 cups each a day

Have been using Yorkshire for years and live in a hard water area we have had no problems but recently the tea has had a great deal of tea-scum on it, even though we have an under sink water filter fitted, the funny thing is that going back to PG Tips has cured the problem, no tea-scum!

I have drunk Yorkshire tea for many years, I liked the strength and full flavour, and always take a stash with me when on holiday to guarantee a decent cuppa. However that has changed. The teabags I have purchased in recent months deliver an insipid cuppa, despite leaving it to brew for longer. Often I have to use 2 bags in my mug but the flavour is just not there anymore. in At first I thought it was me til I read these reviews. As some other folk have said, will try other brands to see if anything better out there, but not holding my breath. Shame on you Taylors, for selling out on quality for profit. You've let Yorkshire down, and hugely disappointed fans of your tea, big time.

I have been drinking Yorkshire tea for several years. I usually leave it stewing for 5 minutes and go back and put the milk in. I use filtered water so I don't get film in my cup.

The last several cups have not been up to par. I was trying to figure out what I have done differently. I've now come to the conclusion it's the tea bags.

They seem to be flavourless and weak. I've now just gone off tea altogether. I don't know where to go from here. Guess I'm going to have try PG tips and typhoo again, cause I can't bear the dirty dish water.

Last year, Yorkshire Tea loose leaf tea was expensive, but worth it. A great brew: good colour, strong, lovely flavour. A few months ago I was happy to find that Y.T. bags also had been imported and were on 'continuous sale' in 'big box stores' here. First-time ever ads appeared on TV as well. You DO get what you pay for, too bad I bought so many boxes before tasting the stuff. So much for trusting a company to be consistent. I would not recommend this tea to anyone, it's weak, tasteless and undrinkable; a complete disappointment and in my case, a waste of money.

Used to make a wonderful strong cup of tea, bit now it's awful, no strength and no taste.

Very sad, but won't be buying again. ????

I don't know what changes are made to this tea but is is now no better than average.

I used to brew my Yorkshire Tea for 5 minutes and got a good, strong, brew.

Timing has now gone up to 8 minutes and it is still a weak, fairly tasteless, mug of tea.

I have a large box and I won't waste it (I am a typical, no waste, Yorkshireman) but will now have to try putting two tea bags in a mug, until I find a suitable replacement.

What has happened? The famous tasty strong cup that we all loved now only resembles a supermarket budget own brand. Very disappointing. Time to find a new brand.

Having been drinking Yorkshire Gold for a good number of years now and I have always been extremely satisfied with the taste, quality and strength. However the last 3 boxes I have bought from 3 different stores during the last few weeks, have been absolutely revolting. With a flavour not unlike a linseed oil.

I have an excellent water filter system, this makes sure the water has a consistency of taste and quality. I'm now very disappointed with this product and don't think I will purchase any longer.

I really don't know what tea I can replace it with ????

Me and the missus always get Yorkshire teabags, and hadn't really noticed any change in the taste.

Today I found a tupperware tub in my office drawer that I put some Yorkshire teabags in about 18 months ago. I just made a cuppa with one of these teabags and it was a revelation, it tasted wonderful!

I don't know much about growing tea and whether one years harvest could taste different to another years, but if an 18 month old teabag tastes better than one from a freshly opened pack, then this is a problem!

Going to try some other brands and see if there are any nice ones out there.
