Is Yorkshire Tea really that good?
Personally I like Tetley but have also used Typhoo and even supermarket own brand when others not available. However you must realise that any tea is only as good as the water it is made with. A number of years ago my parents had a holiday in Yorkshire and mum really really loved the tea, (this was actually before the brand Yorkshire Tea was widely available outside the county). On the last day of their holiday as they were leaving, the landlady at the guest house, gave my mum a little bag with around a dozen tea bags in. She could not wait to get home and try them, oh the disapointment when the resulting brew tasted nothing like it had back in Yorkshire. Hard water instead of soft, even different milk made it taste completely different. AND PLEASE REMEMBER boiling water has to be poured directly onto the tea leaves or bag (this is as opposed to dunking a bag into hotish water) and it is always served with COLD milk.
