Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Loose Leaf Tea Kilo Bag - Rich

Our review of Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Loose Leaf Tea finds it best for drinkers who want a reliable, full-bodied black tea in bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the blend's consistent strength and malty richness that stands up well to milk and sugar, making it a practical choice for households or offices that brew multiple cups daily. The 1 kg bag delivers clear value, and the tea's golden-brown liquor and brisk character make it an easy everyday staple for those who prefer a traditional English-style cup.

Key Features

• Blend of origins: Assam, Kenya and Rwandan teas combine to give a rich body, bright character and the golden hue noted in brewing.
• Loose leaf format: A 1 kilogram bag provides economical loose tea for frequent brewing and allows control over strength and portion size.
• Brewing guidance: Simple instructions recommend 1 tsp per cup, 7-9 oz freshly boiled water and 4-5 minutes infusion for a reliably brisk cup.
• Serve versatility: Works well served with milk or lemon, so it suits a range of traditional preferences without losing character.
• Ethical sourcing: The brand is Carbon Neutral Certified and Rainforest Alliance Certified, reflecting sustainable sourcing and production practices.

Who It's For

Yorkshire Gold loose leaf is aimed at black tea drinkers who want a strong, malty brew that keeps its flavor when mixed with milk and sugar; it is ideal for families, small cafes, or anyone who values an economical large bag for daily use. Its brisk, full-bodied nature makes it especially suitable for those who prefer a traditional English-style cup rather than delicate, tea-forward infusions.

Those seeking a very fine, delicate tea or a lighter, floral black may want to look elsewhere, as some customers report a degree of powderiness and dust in loose-leaf form that favors strength over subtlety. If single-serve bags or specialty single-origin tasting notes are a priority, a different format might be a better match.
