Yorkshire Tea Bags

As a lifelong tea enthusiast, I was thrilled to try Yorkshire Tea’s Total 600 Tea Bags (1.875 kg) pack, and it has quickly become a staple in my home. This bulk pack promises a robust, flavourful cuppa, and it delivers on every front—taste, quality, value, and sustainability. Here’s my in-depth take on why this product is a must-have for tea lovers. Packaging and Delivery: The tea arrived promptly, with the sturdy cardboard box ensuring all 600 tea bags were intact and fresh. The packaging is practical, though not resealable, so I recommend transferring the bags to an airtight container to maintain freshness over time. The sheer volume of tea bags is impressive—perfect for households like mine where tea is a daily ritual. Taste and Quality: Yorkshire Tea is renowned for its rich, malty flavour, and this bulk pack lives up to the brand’s reputation. Each tea bag brews a full-bodied, amber-coloured cup with a smooth yet bold taste that’s neither too bitter nor too weak. I followed the brand’s brewing tips (4-5 minutes steep time, a gentle squidge of the bag, and a splash of semi-skimmed milk), and the result was consistently delightful. Whether enjoyed first thing in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up, the flavour is reliably satisfying. Compared to other brands I’ve tried, Yorkshire Tea strikes a perfect balance, especially in hard water areas where some teas can taste flat. Value for Money: At roughly 2.5p per tea bag (based on recent pricing around £14.59), this 600-pack is a fantastic deal for regular tea drinkers. Smaller packs often cost more per bag, so this bulk option saves both money and trips to the store. I’ve even found that one bag can sometimes stretch to a second weaker cup if I’m feeling frugal, though the first brew is always the strongest. For the quality and quantity, it’s hard to beat this value. Sustainability and Ethics: Yorkshire Tea’s commitment to ethical sourcing is a big plus. As a Rainforest Alliance Certified brand and member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, they prioritise fair trade and sustainable practices. Knowing that my tea supports tea-growing communities and environmentally conscious farming adds an extra layer of satisfaction to each sip. The Terracycle recycling program for loose leaf packs is a nice touch, though I’d love to see a similar option for tea bag packaging in the future. Versatility: This tea is versatile enough for various preferences—black, with milk, or even with a dash of honey or lemon. I’ve also used it to make iced tea during warmer days, and the robust flavour holds up beautifully when chilled. The large pack size makes it ideal for hosting gatherings or stocking up for office use, ensuring there’s always enough for everyone. Minor Considerations: The only slight downside is the lack of a resealable bag or box, which could help with long-term storage. Additionally, while the tea is strong, those who prefer a milder flavour might find it a touch intense without adjusting steeping time. These are minor quibbles, though, and don’t detract from the overall experience. Final Thoughts: Yorkshire Tea’s 600 Tea Bags pack is a triumph of quality, value, and ethical production. It’s perfect for tea aficionados who want a reliable, flavourful brew without breaking the bank. The large quantity ensures you’re stocked for months, and the taste never disappoints. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a dedicated tea drinker, this product delivers a proper brew every time. Highly recommended!

Yorkshire Tea goes to great lengths to make tea properly – from tasting 1000s of teas a day, to thinking about the water you’ll brew it with at home. built close relationships with brilliant tea gardens which share their love of fairness, flavour and quality, and they trade in a way that respects people and the planet. Why? Because it makes a proper difference. How to Make The Perfect Cup Of Tea 1) Run the tap a little so the water’s nicely aerated, and only boil it once to keep the oxygen level up. Oxygen in water helps flavour! 2) Pop a tea bag into your mug, pour over the hot water and stir briefly. 3)Tea needs time to unlock all its flavour, so give it 4-5 minutes to do its thing. 4) Before removing the tea bag, gently squidge it against the side of the mug. Just the once, mind – if you really mash it, it'll taste bitter. 5) You may like a splash of semi-skimmed or whole milk, but your brew is unique to you – so add milk, sugar, honey, lemon or nothing at all. Most importantly, enjoy! 6) So when should you add the milk? It’s an issue that divides tea drinkers into two camps: those who pour the milk into their mug first (Miffys) and those who pour their tea in before the milk (Tiffys). Like the Montagues and the Capulets, these warring factions may never see eye to eye – but the truth is that this great debate can be solved in less time than it takes to dunk a digestive. It’s all a question of heat. Tea brews best in very hot water, but adding milk cools things down. So if you’re brewing tea directly in a mug, it’s better to add the milk last, after it’s brewed. And if you’re brewing in a teapot, the order doesn’t matter at all – it’s just a question of personal preference! About half of UK Yorkshire Teabags are now plant-based. That’s all the boxes in sizes 40, 160 and 240, and it applies to normal Yorkshire Tea as well as Yorkshire Gold, Yorkshire Tea Decaf and Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water. Boxes of 210 are close behind and by the summer their boxes of 80 tea bags should all be plant-based too. Tea bags aren’t the only thing that’s changing. All their products are now carbon-neutral, and what they want next is for all their packaging to be "circular" – which means made from renewable, plant-based or recycled materials, and reusable, recyclable or compostable after use. Yorkshire Tea is replacing the oil-based plastic that seals their tea bags with a plant-based plastic called polylactic acid, or PLA. PLA is a newer form of plastic, made from plants (like cornstarch) instead of fossil fuels, which can be industrially composted by local councils. It’s the material that most of the UK tea industry is switching to or has already switched to. It’s better for the environment than oil-based plastic – as long as it goes in the right bin.
