Re: Yorkshire Tea
Look chaps, my mum drinks the tea here and has no complaints, as long as it's made from bottled water she is happy. This is a woman who has marched into cafe kitchens and shown them how to make tea properly.
If it's ok by her, then you lot are wrong.
Simple.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Don't think it's that bad, not that I've tasted shite before 
but it definitely tastes different than the Brit one. And it's not solemnly the water either. We brought some English tea back to Canada and it still tasted nice even with our water. Got some Orange Pekoe and don't like it anymore. Although for some reason the cheapest Walmart great value pack tastes better than all the expensive brands. In the US Walmart you can get Tetley's British blend, that's not too bad.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
We start to panic when our Yorkshire tea bag reserves drop below 240! One of our stipulations for our visitors from the UK is to bring a 240 box with them, and if they are big tea drinkers bring 2

You are not truly assimilated in Canada until you think Timmies "Steeped Tea" is a good thing.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Look, people, Tetley Orange Pekoe teabags sold in every single Canadian supermarket are EXACTLY THE SAME as Tetley Original teabags sold in the UK. For those who make a special journey over the border to buy "English" Tetley in US Walmart stores - it's a wasted journey. Tetley sells the same product in the US as "Classic Blend", in Canada as "Orange Pekoe" and in the UK as "Original." The US "British Blend" is the same stuff as the Canadian "Bold Blend." They're made in the same place, on the same production line, using the same ingredients, but put in boxes with different words and pictures on them. Any difference in a brew made using the same water is entirely in the imagination of the drinker.

Of course we're wrong. When did hard facts and science ever stand in the way of an "it doesn't taste the same" opinion.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Do people who drink this actually think that the tea they use is actually GROWN in Yorkshire?
Taken from their website
To ensure you get the best tea possible, we check all the teas that go into the Yorkshire Tea blend at least eight times - from the start of the process, when we're tasting samples from all around the world, to the end, when we brew up samples taken from our production line. That's a lot of cups of tea to taste, but we think it's worth it - all in the name of bringing you a proper brew!
Yorkshire folk have never been described as intelligent folk though so its understandable that they think the tea is actually GROWN in Yorkshire

And that the water boils at a lower temperature here.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Are they in a biscuit tin, do you open the pack and then just shove them in a cupboard, are they kept in a glass jar? Any of these combinations might have an adverse effect on how soggy your biscuits get when dunking them?
Are you on city water or a well system these could be factors as well.

How are the biscuits being stored and at what temperature?
