    Twinnings vs Yorkshire Tea

    For me Twinnings has edged out Yorkshire tea for a good tasting brew.

    Yorkshire for me. I normally use the hard water blend, but I have recently tried Yorkshire Gold. An excellent early morning/breakfast blend.

    Re: Twinnings vs Yorkshire Tea

    Haven't tried Yorkshire Tea (don't usually drink tea) but recently found the Twinings Earl Grey at work and have developed a taste for it. Picard was onto something you know...

    Re: Twinnings vs Yorkshire Tea

    Usually Twinnings for me, unless you're talking Yorkshire Gold, that is delicious! I also use the Hard Water blend as we don't usually have the money for Twinnings.

    Twinnings is crap! Honestly I don't like it at all, Yorkshire is miles better. Yorkshire Gold is certainly something else.

    Re: Twinnings vs Yorkshire Tea

    I can't get either here so I get stuck drinking the weak crap they sell here.

    I really do not understand how mainland Europe got tea so wrong.

    Everyone I know here makes tea by putting boiling water in a cup and then dipping the tea bag in very quickly (the water barely changes color)

    What they end up with is, IMO, a slightly discolored cup of hot water.

    Leaving the bag in longer does not produce a much better result as the bags just seem weaker here.

    I do have a friend that sends me boxes of PG Tips from time to time so occasionally I get a decent cuppa.

    Re: Twinnings vs Yorkshire Tea

    I like Twinnings Earl Grey but not keen on their other ones, think they are a bit weak and watery no matter how long you let it mast.

    Yorkshire Tea all the way for me and has been for a few year now!

    Ringtons Tea is also pretty good if they deliver round your way as its not available in supermarkets, they still only do doorstep orders and deliveries.

    I have never tried twinnings, but I have to say its needs to go some to beat the sweet nectar from Yorkshire.

    Ok I can't bite my tongue anymore....it's TWININGS. Not twinnings, there's no element of duplicity involved.
