Yorkshire Tea Gold Blend, 80 Tea Bags 250g
Taylors save their best seasonal picks for Gold, and it shows: deeper Assam malt, a much smoother body than the famous red box, none of the dusty bitterness of cheaper bags, and still the brisk African lift that makes Yorkshire Yorkshire. It pours dark and clear and was clearly built for a generous splash of milk. This is one of the few "premium everyday" teas where the step up is real rather than packaging; if a proper daily brew matters to you, it earns the extra.
Yorkshire Tea Gold Blend, in brief.
Yorkshire Tea Gold Blend, 80 Tea Bags 250g is the richer, smoother option in Yorkshire Tea’s core range. Yorkshire Tea describes Gold as its finest blend, selecting teas from Assam, Kenya and Rwanda for a rich, smooth and satisfying cup.
Our curator finds it full bodied and rounded, with malty depth and a clean, bright finish. It takes milk well but is smoother than a standard builders’ brew. This is caffeinated black tea; the amount in a cup varies with brewing, so use our Yorkshire Tea caffeine guide rather than a fixed milligram claim.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. We run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before 2pm Monday to Friday. Storage notes and brewing guidance are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.
