Yorkshire Red Tea Bags - 80 count

Savor the Rich, Authentic Flavor of Britain’s Favorite Everyday Brew

Bring the classic taste of a proper English tea time into your home with Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Red Tea. Crafted by a historic, family-owned British merchant founded in 1883, this legendary everyday black tea is meticulously blended from high-quality Assam, African, and Sri Lankan tea leaves. Noted for its balanced depth, inviting aroma, and bright, copper color, Yorkshire Red delivers a robust, full-bodied cup without any unpleasant bitter aftertaste. It is the definitive "builder's tea"—perfectly structured to pair with a splash of milk and enjoyed around the breakfast table, at the office, or alongside an afternoon sweet treat.

• Expertly Layered Flavour: Combining select varieties from premium tea estates introduces a complexity, character, and smooth finish that single-origin teas cannot replicate.
• Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Packaging: These classic round tea bags are crafted from biodegradable, plant-based natural fibers (wood pulp and abaca) and sealed with industrially compostable material.
• Ethical Sourcing Commitments: As a founding member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, Taylors of Harrogate supports sustainable ecosystems and fair living standards for tea farmers and workers worldwide.

The Yorkshire Flavor Profile

Unlike Earl Grey or standard floral black infusions, Yorkshire Red isolates a pure, unadulterated black tea flavor without bergamot or citrus additions. Its signature "builder's strength" comes packed with natural tannins. To avoid drawing out excess bitterness while maintaining full malty depth, follow our precise timing guide to unlock a bright, clean cup that takes exceptionally well to milk and honey.

Brewing the Perfect Proper Cuppa

Maximize oxygenation and release the rich character of your black tea leaves with these standard preparation methods.

🫖 The Classic Teapot Service

Pre-heat your teapot and fine teaware cups with a quick rinse of warm water, then discard. Bring freshly drawn water to a single, running rolling boil to keep oxygen levels elevated. Place two Yorkshire Red tea bags into a standard teapot (or one bag into a compact teapot-for-one). Stream the boiling water directly over the bags, stir briefly, and allow the blend to steep undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve straight or enhance with milk and sugar to taste.

☕ The Everyday Mug Infusion

Warm your favorite ceramic mug with boiled tap water, then pour it out. Place one tea bag inside the vessel and stream freshly boiled water directly over it. Let the tea leaves infuse for exactly 4 to 5 minutes. Before removing the tea bag, gently press it against the interior side wall of the mug with a spoon to release the full liquor extraction—taking care not to squeeze excessively hard to prevent releasing bitter elements. Add your preferred sweeteners or a drop of lemon.
