Taylors of Harrogate English Breakfast, Black Tea, Pillow Tea Bags, 50 Count (Pack of 1), Rich, Bright & Malty, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced, 50 Teabags

Really delicious tea!

Excellent tea that I order on a regular basis

I compared 4 different English breakfast teas: Stash, Twinings, Teavana (Royal English Breakfast, purchased from Starbucks,) and Taylors of Harrogate. [resident of Pacific Northwest, limited to 1 cup of caffeinated tea per day; per teabag: 1/2 cup boiling water, steep for 3 minutes, stir in1/4 cup of evaporated skim milk, add about 8 oz. liquid nonfat milk, zapped in microwave for one to one & 1/2 minutes, sweetened with stevia & monkfruit] On a one to 10 scale, Stash: 5, a little more acerbic than the other three; Twinings: 6, nice mild flavor; Teavana: 7; Taylors: 8; Teavana and Taylors bags can both be used twice (the second time, it's decaf and the flavor is less pronounced,) but the Taylors brew stands up to the milk and sweeteners a little better*. Taylors is the only tea that comes as unwrapped sachets in a roll, it's easy to separate an individual bag, but they don't have a little string and tag attached to each one. I had an empty metal coffee can with a plastic lid that was large enough to hold the box, so I put it in there. From an ecological point of view, the elimination of string, staples or glue, a wrapper for each teabag means less waste, & I suspect that it keeps the costs down, per serving, it costs about the same as Twinings, and less than Teavana. *the only advantage/disadvantage of the stronger tea flavor is that I am motivated to brush my teeth after breakfast.

I love this tea! A breakfast tea that is not too harsh yet brisk enough to start my day. In July 2022, I ordered a box of 100 teabags that were individually packaged for $9.96. December 2022 I tried to re-order but was surprised to see that the price has doubled to $19.99. In order to get the same July price, I had to order two boxes of 50 bags that are: (1) not individually packaged, (2) two bags are attached to each other so you do have to rip them a part which is no big deal, (3) these bags are missing the string on each to easily remove the teabag from scalding water in tea cup; (4) the box has no inner wax paper lining to keep the tea from drying out. Disappointing. With what’s going on in the world today with supply chain issues and all, I can understand a price increase but double?! I’ll be putting the new teabags in a jar with a tight fitting lid to keep them fresh. My photo shows the new box of tea bags with no lining with the previous individually packaged tea bag in front of it.

One of the finest tea blends .

When one holds a cup of this tea the little finger sticks out on its own.

I love, love, love this tea! It makes a perfect small, medium or large cup with just one tea bag. I use 1 bag to make 2 small cups of tea. The flavor of this black tea is just good to me. I love flavored teas but this is the best black tea I've ever had! Get you some!

Just Ok:( Compared to the usual twining offering no better. Weight of tea in each bag is slightly more at 2.5 grams and is on visual inspection slightly less powdery/dusty. Remains of tea leaves that once were can be seen. Taste is no better and perhaps a little bitter aftertaste. Played with steep times. No change. This is a no go for me.
