Match Day Thread Yorkshire Tea v PG Tips

It’s the big one
Channel 5 7pm tonight.
only one winner for me

 

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.

 

Yorkshire Tea. No ****ing contest.


In fact, why isn't Yorkshire Gold being considered? Would that be almost too unfair a fight?

 

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 obvs. I've never got round to Yorkshire Gold. Is there much difference?

 

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?

 

I wouldn’t drink anything else..
Yorkie all the way.....

 

Yorkshire....only cuppa I will drink. Even take them on me holidays!!

 

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

 

Here we go Chazz.

 

It tastes better than regular Yorkshire, at least to me.

But it does cost quite a bit more than regular, and regular is pretty superb enough.

 

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,

 

the local water makes a massive difference. Even London tap water tastes ****e, I have to filter tap water in London to make a cuppa

 

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

Anyone tried that Biscuit Tea?

I like it.

 

Plastic is a component of the bag. It doesn't bio-degrade at all.

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

 

That’s ok then, if it doesn’t bio-degrade it means I’m not drinking it unknowingly.

 

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.
