As disloyal as it may sound - I mix Yorkshire with Red Rose (a Canadian blend, which smacks of Lancaster), in a blend that works for me.

No War of the Roses in our castle...White & Red in harmony. (2W + 1 R) per pot.

What's being judged here? Taste, price, packaging? Loose or bags?

I drink Yorkshire tea loose but I've given up on their bags until they get rid of the plastic in them.

PG Tips tastes like shirt btw, both loose and bags.

Yorkshire the clear winner, PG Tips cuppa just tastes of water, it’s the pissiest cuppa that I’ve ever tasted.

Wait, WTF Plum? Plastic? In the actual teabags? How so?

Do you still find them as good in areas where the water's not as hard as ours?

I've noticed a difference in taste - better at my sister's in Kirkella than over here, where the water is far more purified, yet it's still tolerable here - best I can get anyway,

They do sell a hard water version. I used to have to get it when at Uni because the water was ****e.

Isn’t Hull a hard water area? I know the wolds are, all the chalk etc

so maybe I’ve been drinking the wrong stuff all along
 
Water is different all over Hull. We to used have terrible water at work. Tasted of chemicals, so much so that I drank bottled water.

Eventually they got the water board in to test it and they said it was fine.

Funny thing is, once they'd gone, it was fine.

Most of East Yorkshire's geology is predominantly chalk minerology, which impacts the water table considerably (harder water).

I doubt you'd be interested in in a link to a 300+ paper on the subject - it's dry. <eek>
