Courtney drank Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew by Taylors of Harrogate

1394 tasting notes

I ordered Tea, Toast & Jam online from the UK because these teas aren’t readily available here. But we ran for errands this evening and stumbled across this!

I went with a double teabag situation and decided to steep 2.5 minutes and I’m quite happy with the result. The base has some tannins, but I’ve made a point of drinking it still while quite warm as I find astringency creeps in with cooling. The base itself has some maltiness and there is a taste of biscuit! It’s hidden within the base (not at the forefront), yet very much there. Actually quite happy with this cuppa.

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 30 sec

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
