This is Yorkshire Tea and my favourite. Although it is in a large bag it is the same quality and taste. The big bag is not airtight once opened so we do need to decant to several smaller tubs to keep the freshness. We but this way as it is much better value for money

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.
