Favourite brand of tea?

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:24 am

I've tried several, but never liked any, other than Yorkshire Tea.

For those of you who drink tea, which is your fave?

Yorkshire Gold, just that bit smoother than normal Yorkshire tea.

Obviously Yorkshire. There Is No Alternative.

I think they grow it somewhere near Hull, don't they?

I had a cup of Assam tea from a small manufacturer in a cafe. I can't remember the name of the producer, it wasn't Twinings and it wasn't Pukka Teas, but it was awesome. Really sweet and I can describe it as having body i.e. some form of oomph to it. Best cup of tea I've had in years.

I had some Yorkshire tea other week after I kept seeing people go on about it, It was crap.

Tetley's or PG tips all the way.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Wed Aug 29, 2018 12:22 pm

I've tried Tetley's and PG, it just didn't have the same kick that Yorkshire tea does. It tasted weak, regardless.

I thought everybody was aware of the Yorkshire Tea conspiracy. They add strange things to their blend.

One moment you are happy drinking Lancashire Tea and supporting Burnley and the next you are sipping Yorkshire Tea and being assailed by an ever growing notion that supporting Leeds would be a good idea.

It's how they intend to fill their stadium to the brim.

Lancashire Tea tops Yorkshire Tea, its official.

Aldi’s Diplomat Earl Grey is very good.

Yorkshire Tea is without peers! I get it shipped out here and couldn`t do without it. Twining`s (leaves) is a good 2nd option and is possibly a little more of a summer tea. My dad sent me some Lancashire tea the other winter and it certainly put more hairs on my chest. I`ve converted MANY a Japanese person to the glories of Yarkshire. It is only when I go home though and have it with hard water, that I experience its true majesty!!!!!!

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Wed Aug 29, 2018 1:59 pm

Yorkshire tea is best
Tetleys a close second

If I'm feeling fancy then I'll go long jing tea or similar

I do love tea

As a former tea buyer for a supermarket I’m going to claim some expertise here - and a lot of its to do with where you drink your tea as the water’s crucial.

In Burnley, Yorkshire or any of the Irish teas Mentioned ( Barry’s, Thompson’s etc ) would be what I’d drink. Thompson’s my absolute favourite
In the south, PG is good. Rank in most of the north.
Lancashire Tea. Floor sweepings.

But of course it’s what you like so nobody’s wrong when it comes to taste.
