Founded in 1886, Taylors of Harrogate is a family business based in Harrogate, England – devoted to the craft of outstanding tea. Taylors does things properly, without shortcuts, showing care and respect to everyone along the way – from the people who grow it to the people who drink it.
We’ve been buying Tao for sometime now and decided to give this brand a try, it’s been great. It has a smooth, creamy taste compared to Tao. We love both but Taylor is my new favorite.
This is a nice minty green tea. Good quality and flavorful but does not overpower you with mint or strong green tea. I find this is my favorite this year, since I cannot have caffeinated black teas I have learned to appreciate green tea - yes it still has caffeine, but I can drink a few cups without getting the jitters.
It’s very smooth, and not at all bitter. The mint is very light, so if you like bold mint flavor, you might not like this. There’s a delicious toasted taste to this that I really enjoy. It’s almost savory, with lots of umami.I can get at least two steeps per bag by using the following method: first steep @ 175F for 90 seconds, second steep @ 185F for about two minutes. You might even get a third by using 208F for three or more minutes.
I usually buy this good brand, but green tea and mint surprisingly taste like vanilla ? Very disappointed
