 A superb everyday tea -- even better than standard YorkshireMar 16, 2009
By G. Kline
"art hunter"
I first discovered Yorkshire tea at TJMaxx, of all places. They have an international foods section that features coffee, tea, sweets, spices, etc., and for a while you could easily find boxes of standard edition Yorkshire tea (the one with the prominent red band on it). I bought a box and enjoyed the tea, enough to buy it several times... until I found Yorkshire Gold.
There's isn't a huge taste difference between the two teas. It is subtle, but enough that the nominal price difference makes it worth getting the Gold, IMHO. I'd characterize it being a little smoother and richer in taste.
This is a perfect tea for someone who finds Lipton too "common and light", and Earl Grey just a bit too "strong" in flavor for an everyday tea. Yorkshire is very drinkable. I usually have it as my first large cup of tea for the day, sometimes taking a second cup. The caffeine content is wonderful--strong enough to perk up your mind and yet calm enough not to give an edgy feel the way coffee can when you've had too much of it.
I also discovered that it makes a fabulous iced tea. It remains very smooth, even after a long brewing time.
So, after getting low on my latest bag of Yorkshire Gold, I came to find it offered here on Amazon for an amazingly great price. *3* bags for just under $25, and free shipping (if you buy another item to put it over $25). If you buy just one bag somewhere else, you'll pay a minimum of $17 with shipping. So, it's a no-brainer to buy here. :-)
Only one caution: Be sure to use a fine screen infuser with this tea. The leaves are chopped rather fine, almost like coffee grounds. So, they'll slip through teapot holes and get into your tea. But if anyone ever tells you that you should never brew tea with an infuser, don't believe it. I conducted some taste tests. I could NOT tell the difference. So, keep life simple and use an infuser. :-)

 yorkshire gold tea not what it wasJan 05, 2011
By Elmer V. Koski
Some years ago I had Yorkshire Gold and Yorkshire Red teas. They were very
good. Recently I subscribed to Amazon's offer of subscribing to orders of
Yorkshire Gold. I find that it is almost tasteless and has a lot of of very
fine particles of leaf that slip through my screen. It is not what it was.
On the other hand, I am rather older than several years ago, 82. Perhaps I
can't enjoy what I used to enjoy.
I hope those who do enjoy this tea continue to enjoy.

 Nice sweet smooth tasting teaApr 14, 2010
By M. Schafmeister
"MelS"
This tea has a nice sweet, smooth taste with very little bitterness. Since discovering it a couple of years ago, it is the tea we now buy for our everyday drinking at home. I give it four stars instead of five since many of the flakes are overly small for a loose tea and will leak through tea strainers into the cup.

A Good Strong CuppaMar 09, 2010
By angelfood
"neat, sweet and erudite"
If you like your tea strong with milk, seek no further. Once you've tried Yorkshire Gold no other will do. Loose tea in the pot has a much superior flavor to bagged tea and is more economical. Amazon sells the Brown Betty pots and I highly recommend them for this tea. If you've never tried strong tea with milk, you may find you prefer it to coffee.
There's nothing like a good cup of tea!

Nice, everyday teaJan 10, 2007
By K. Martin
"aztek2000"
I really love this tea for what I call an "everyday' tea. I have it every morning and it is a nice brisk full flavored tea. I save the "flavored" teas for the afternoon or evening. This tea is so robust--a good wake-me-up tea.
