My usual breakfast brew was developing QC issues so after some 'research' I decided to try this as an alternative. Very happy with the results. Excellent flavor and will purchase again for sure.
My only minor gripe is the fineness of the leaves - almost dust. I brew in a pot (warmed and dry) for 3-4 minutes before a stir and first pour through a strainer, topping up the pot for 2nd and 3rd pours.
Strainer is mostly for peace of mind, I am used to the tea having settled well into the pot. With this tea some powder makes its way through the strainer. Not a big problem, just aesthetically less than perfect!

I've been going through several pounds of Yorkshire Gold tea every year, for many years. It's ruined me for drinking Lipton tea, and the cost per cup for Yorkshire Gold is a very affordable little luxury.
Some tea fanatics complain that the leaves are cut too finely, but I don't mind. The tea brews quickly and the flavor is robust and rich. I typically brew this in a Rishi teapot (B008YDOKL0) which is actually a generous single serving tea mug.
Don't try to go cheap and get the Yorkshire Red. There's a huge difference between red and gold. Go for the gold!

元々違う紅茶を探していましたが、廃盤になっていて、こちらを勧めていただいたのが購入のきっかけです。
渋みが美味しさとして感じられる紅茶でストレートはもちろんミルクティーにも素晴らしくあいます。
難点は輸入品の為、注文してから届くまで多少時間がかかる事ですが、他の紅茶に戻れないので、早めに次回分を注文するようになりました。何度もリピしています。

I've been able to get regular Yorkshire Gold in bags here for some time, and it is excellent. However, the Yorkshire Gold that is currently available in stores in Canada (and prob. the US) is not the same as what is sold locally in the UK- it is a weaker blend "for (North) American tastes", according to a small specialist shop here that carries the UK blend, both loose and bagged. (He said he actually contacted Taylor's directly to confirm this.) He gave me a few samples of the UK blend in bags to compare and thre is definitely a difference.
This is a really full-bodied blend, richer and stronger than the "export" blend I have been getting. Whether in bags or loose, I'd suggest not letting it steep too long, as it will become bitter.

I have travelled throughout Europe and have tried my fair share of black teas. In my opinion this is the best everyday drinking black tea, especially for the price. This is heads and shoulders above PG Tips, Typhoo, or other "builder's teas". You may find more exquisite or complex black teas, but those are likely to be far more expensive and are more for special occasions and/or expanding your palette's repertoire.
Flavor: It has a very nice balance, with a robust, full-bodied flavor, slightly malty, and not overly tannic/bitter (I never need to sweeten mine). The aroma is actually that of fresh black tea, and may be a pleasant surprise to those used to drinking tea bags of average quality.
Leaf size: The leaves are fairly broken, and not as large/intact as those of Fortnum and Mason, but this doesn't significantly affect the flavor in my opinion.
Brew color: This tea brews a beautiful deep reddish amber liquor that takes milk very well (if you're so inclined to add it).
Side note: For those of you who know who the chef Alton Brown is, I recently found out that this is also his favorite black tea.

I first discovered Yorkshire tea at TJMaxx, of all places. They have an international foods section that features coffee, tea, sweets, spices, etc., and for a while you could easily find boxes of standard edition Yorkshire tea (the one with the prominent red band on it). I bought a box and enjoyed the tea, enough to buy it several times... until I found Yorkshire Gold.
There's isn't a huge taste difference between the two teas. It is subtle, but enough that the nominal price difference makes it worth getting the Gold, IMHO. I'd characterize it being a little smoother and richer in taste.
This is a perfect tea for someone who finds Lipton too "common and light", and Earl Grey just a bit too "strong" in flavor for an everyday tea. Yorkshire is very drinkable. I usually have it as my first large cup of tea for the day, sometimes taking a second cup. The caffeine content is wonderful--strong enough to perk up your mind and yet calm enough not to give an edgy feel the way coffee can when you've had too much of it.
I also discovered that it makes a fabulous iced tea. It remains very smooth, if you brew it within 5~6 minutes. Be careful to...

More Tea Please:
This is a wonderful full-bodied tea, perfect for your morning cup. I can't start my day without it. It also makes outstanding, very flavorful iced tea. (I use 7 tsp for a half gallon pitcher of iced tea.) It is finely cut, so a tea ball won't work well with it, but a good brew basket will keep even these fine leaves out of your cup. This one works beautifully in a mug or pot:

To avoid bitterness in this or any tea, bring your water to a boil first, but then remove from heat for one minute before pouring the water over the tea.
