Yuk, this is all I could buy. Seriously what the hell is this tea about? I'm sure the slops out of the bottom of the mop bucket would be nicer.

Usually drink Typhoo, now there's a proper brew.

Thought something had tainted the cup first time so made another cup, it's proper rank

Bought a big box too, can't even give them away, none of the family even want them.

I don't mind it. Some people rave about it. You know who.

I am happy with most tea and coffee as long as it is not decaffeinated.

What is the point of a decaf?

It's hard water, but nothing prepared me for the taste of Yorkshire tea, should keep it that side of the border, its rank

Yorkshire is good. Its the standard for Betty's tea rooms. But they use leaf tea.

But tea can go off quick, especially big boxes of them, cos you cant get through them quick enough.

Try the yorkshire leaf, that is much better than the bags.

There's also Lancashire Tea if you can find it. I buy Yorkshire normally, Tetley is OK, PG Tips is weak as gnat's piss.

Lancashire stuff is quite strong & quite earthy in flavour which I like. I think places like Booths supermarkets sell it but it's probably not a national brand.

Haha no, I certainly haven't. I don't have a sister, and if I had, I wouldn't. It was a something someone said to me in a pub once when I ordered alcohol-free cider, so I changed it from "alcohol-free..." to "decaf..." lol.

Interesting tea observation...I bought some own label tea just before lockdown (think was LIDl ).

Not my usual and I wasn't overly impressed.

But as I've worked my way through the 120 bags it's kind of grown on me.

Just need to get your taste buds used to it.

Yeah Yorkshire has soft water or medium soft at best.

Yorkshire tea is lovely (and I say that as a Lancashire lass, but you can't over brew it, or poss the bag (the smushing of it post brewing)

You should get Yorkshire Tea for hard water. It's not designed to be brewed with a shed load of minerals in the water. We have lovely soft water round these parts - most tea tastes rank to me down in the southern part of this island (yucky hard water
