Is the bag the tea comes in recyclable?

There is no interior bag. The exterior, and only, bag is plastic with a metallic-looking interior, and due to its contact with food is not recyclable in most areas even though the tea doesn't leave a deposit on the bag's surface.

This used to be fine cut, perfect for a drip maker. The last bag I bought was loose cut. Is that a permanent change?

I've been drinking this tea for years and all of my purchases have been what I'd consider fine cut. They are not leaves/or stick like at all. I use a French press with a "FINE" screen or else a fine mesh insert when I travel (yes I'm nutty enough to bring my own loose tea on cruises). I've purchased several kilo bags in the last year and all have been consistently fine - perhaps you just got one that was "off". Hope this helps.

does it come in decaf?

the are decaf versions i do not think they taste as good

English Tea

Yorkshire Gold Loose Tea is a blend of tea which I enjoy with or without milk which is a rare product in my view. It has a light refreshing taste and I usually have at least two or more cups at a time. Some teas leave a bitter after-taste but not so for Yorkshire Gold. I can recommend this tea to any discerning tea drinker.I was first introduced to Yorkshire Gold Tea at a specialist Tea Shop in Brisbane about six years ago and was able to acquire supplies from that shop. Unfortunately it has now closed and I have relocated about 80k away. Nevertheless I managed to source the tea online, much to my tea drinking pleasure.

Good brew.

As a tea snob, I use this as my everyday tea. Excellent quality and actually brews well with Scottish Water.

Good blend but too finely cut

Blend is good but has been cut too fine for loose leaf tea. You need a very fine infuser and brew for 3.5mins max to avoid tannin leaching out into the water. Infuser needs to be lowered carefully into water to avoid the tea slipping through. Great taste though.

Our favourite tea

Our favourite tea and that's why we buy it. A bit pricier than others, but the taste is so much better. If you are going to get leaf tea, get this one. Tea bags just don't do it for me.

Crushed.

Was crushed into a box too small for the tea. Consequently there’s a lot more dust than usual and it’s a fine dust that gets through the strainer and into my drink. Will be buying from a supermarket in future.

Glad I bought this

Glad I bought this, this tea tastes really good, although I'll be ordering it from a supermarket in future as this was way overpriced at £5.65 it's £2.30 in Sainsbury's
