How does this tea compare in flavor to Yorkshire red and PG Tips? Does it taste similar, or is it maltier, brisker, brighter, stronger?

INRE: overall taste, it ranks between Yorkshire RED and Twinings. I would call it brisk and as strong as Twinings. I like it as another alternative. Try it 1/2 and 1/2 with RED.

i"m no tea expert but id imagine this company has a number you can call to ask about their products.

This is English Breakfast tea, Yorkshire tea and PG Tips are just regular black teas. Generally an english breakfast is a lighter flavor tea black tea, which is why it is a breakfast tea. Davidson's tea's also do not have as refined a flavor as the mainstream British teas. If you drink Yorkshire and PG tips, I recommend sticking to British teas. Twinings does a good English Breakfast if that is what you want to try.

I think Lyons might be a little stronger with more of a roasted flavor. Taylors of Harrogate is still a strong, full-bodied black tea but with a very warm, golden flavor when brewed correctly Melanie

I've never tried "London Cuppa," - actually I've never even heard of it! Where is is available, I wonder? I live in New York, NY. But I find that it compares favorably with Yorkshire Gold and PG Tips. Personally, I think that PG Tips has a "rough" taste, unlike Tetley's British Blend which is both strong and smooth. Also Tetley's is much less expensive!

My personal opinion.....I like Dandy blend better. There's a certain after taste with Teechino for me. I have tried may flavors. I am just not a fan :-/ Dandy blend is smoother and even a little frothy. much better, especially with Stevia

I actually believe that Unilever UK has changed the strength of the tea bags again . The PG Tips that I am using now are weaker in flavor than the ones I purchased a year ago when I first started using PG Tips. I did a test by putting two bags in the cup instead of one. What results. The tea tasted just like it did when I first started using it. To me that proves a point. Unilever UK is cheating on the strength to make a higher profit. Shame on you people.

It's not your imagination. Been drinking PG Tips for decades (I used to carry it back from Europe in pre-internet ordering days). It is definitely not what it used to be. I've tried several boxes on the assumption I must have gotten a bad batch, but three bad boxes in a row, several months apart, and have sadly come to the conclusion that they changed the blend. Sadness! I'm abandoning the brand.

I bought a bag of tea from Davidson's 1-2 years ago, still in the original bag and from time to time I brew some more (I didn't like the flavor much, I got hooked on Pu-Erh teas) it still tastes fresh, and good to me after at least a year.

It's not the exact same powder since there are different brands, but it is close enough for me to enjoy it every day. Give it a try, if you don't like it, most venders will let you return it. If you do like it, my advice is to buy a few at a time on your next purchase to save on shipping costs. I really love this green tea cold or hot.

I usually mix it with thyme, that masks the flavor a bit. I use it medicinally so taste isn't an issue for me. I think making it a bit weaker and mixing it with another herbal tea might solve the problem. I, too, do not particularly like the flavor by itself.

Sounds like more flavor! But what will you say when someone asks, "Tastes great! What's your secret?" :-)

From a purely subjective point of view (and a sample size of just 1), the Wedderspoon Gold had a more balanced/smoother taste to it. The medicinal taste common to the Manuka honeys (of all brands) seemed to be a bit muted in this version. I don't particularly mind the medicinal taste, so I'm on the fence on how much that is worth. That said, others in my house hate that medicinal taste and appreciate the softer tasting Gold version. Hard to say if the 1 jar my answer is based on is representative of all the Gold batches though. My 2 cents, if you want quality Manuka honey with a softer taste... it is worth it. If not, save your money and purchase one of the other raw Manuka offerings.

Similar yes but Good Earth has less cinnamon and no kick; although I still like it and love it as iced tea. This tea is smoother and more elegant. The description about tasting like "Red Hots" is spot on but it is not painful. I just tried them back to back and I prefer this one.

It is milder and more pleasant. Almost like a chocolate peppermint paddy. I have wondered if you could get the same effect by combining chocolate and peppermint (wouldn't be green, though)

I would say the tea is 95% twigs with a few bits of leaves included. It's a different taste than either "regular" green or black tea, and takes a little getting used to, but the twigs are loaded with calcium, so it's worth the adjustment period. I now enjoy it very much. I hope this helps.

Hello Nicholas,The taste is preference. I know of customers to use different forms of sweetening the tea. We just prefer the german rock sugar because it has been proven to compliment the teas very well.

It's sweet and very smooth without the typical bitterness you get with some tea. The best comparison I have likens it to green tea with sweet cream. I really like the taste and I'm a lifelong black coffee drinker. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
