Hiya. When everything's open again, you'll have to go and see the "Cutty Sark", permanently dry-docked near the river at Greenwich in London, the fastest Tea-Clipper of her time. If you plan it right, on a good weather day, you could do a river trip to Greenwich from, say, Westminster Pier, the "Cutty Sark", the Royal Observatory and Prime Meridian in Greenwich Park, a picnic in said park and the nearby National Maritime Museum on the way back to the river, all in the same day! Stay safe. All the best to you.
@@AdventuresAndNaps If you're going to do that then you really must visit Heap's sausages (its a cafe run by a former butcher), which is on a side stream close to the Cutty Shark and the Maritime Museum.
Whilst I broadly agree that Yorkshire is a great cup of tea I can also recommend Ringtons tea as equally good. It's very easy to get hold of in the North East, not sure about the rest of the UK.
I'm a Brit in California. She's right about Twinings being available everywhere in North America, and she pronounces it the same as I've heard other Americans pronounce it. If you've never heard or seen an advert for it, I guess that's the way you would naturally see it, but yes indeed 'twine - ings' is the correct way, the way the company themselves pronounce it.
Just to be fair, some of these teas have hard water versions, for southerners, as the water up North is so good. Love the video. From someone who likes Yorkshire Tea with Lancashire water. 👍
As one of the people who sent a message on Instagram saying Yorkshire when you did the questions... I've had a bit of a smug smile once you agreed it was best.
A bore writes: the original name was Pre-Gest Tea as it was thought to aid digestion.This was soon shortened to PG.The 'tips' was added as the tip of the tea plant is reckoned to be the best for flavour.
As an expat Brit living in Canada, I've generally lost the taste for tea and only drink it occasionally now. I usually drink coffee made fresh from beans in a French press. The best tea that I've ever tasted is - horror of horrors - American! I don't know if it's available in the UK, but it's Stash from Oregon. Well worth a try if you can get it!
@@lwaves Thank you! It makes me feel a little better knowing that the northern US isn't the only place getting cold weather and snow. If you don't mind me asking, what part of the UK do you live in?
I believe Twinings rhymes with "linings".Otherwise it would be spelt "Twinnings". Since you've become a tea connoisseur you automatically get British citizenship!
I just said in my own comment that being a recent tea drinker doesn't matter. The important part is that she is a tea drinker now. One of us, one of us, one of us....
TheJesusaurus . Yes I could. How about "finings" (yes it is a real word). And "linings" is a very common word - have you ever heard of curtain linings, or coat linings. So, stop your whinings.
I sent a box of Yorkshire Tea to a friend in Canada and she said it's now her favourite tea. She drinks it black with the bag still in the cup. Hardcore. Also I'm being positive in 2021 so all I'll say about the Yorkshire accent is, I appreciate the attempt :D It's better than my attempt at any specific region of Canada would be.
I understood that Yorkshire Tea came from Betty's Tea Shop in Harrogate. People liked the blend so they decided to commercialise it. Nothing to do with Yorkshire really - it doesn't grow there!!
First of all, I love your "Stop, nobody likes that!" comment at the beginning - brilliant! Second, I totally agree with your high opinion of Yorkshire (have you compared Yorkshire Red to Gold?). Third, you've got another subscriber.
"Yorksha" tea is the Best. For best taste it must be made with Yorkshire water. It was originally brewed to compliment the "soft" water here in God's own county.
twevsmiff. That is not what I read. I also saw somebody interviewed from Betty's Tea Shop in Harrogate who said that people liked their blend so they decided to mass produce it. I do not think it is anything to do with soft or hard water. Most of England has hard water anyway.

Great tea tasting- thank you for making this! Imma land locked American in Nashville Tennessee USA and have had tea my whole life and A LOT of it-BUUUUT- it has always been iced tea. 🥶 I know I know - British people are lighting their torches and coming after me... So lately I’ve been really enjoying HOT ☕️ tea multiple times daily and it’s completely replaced coffee for me and I definitely have some preferences. So I expected to like Twinnings or PG better but no... It’s a royal purple box here called Tetley British Blend. 🤤 😋 soooooo GOOD!! I think my issue with some are the bitter tannings are too stout - I want that bite and some strength don’t get me wrong- I just don’t want a pucker after a sip ya know? There’s nothing pleasant to me to drink something that leaves you with a taste in your mouth like you’ve been licking walnut shells. I add a bit of Splenda but haven’t gotten into the milk... yet... 🙄 I hate that I always have to add yet as I grow older because I’ve realised everything changes... Oh but the absolute BEST TEA I had was a blend made by a local tea lady but the tornados 🌪 blew down her shop in Nashville last year 😔 But this is what the British Blend version of Tetley looks like Tetley British Blend Premium Black Tea, 320 Count Tea Bags www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWDTNTZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_4ufeGbVZF453B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I also like it because it’s a bargain. Can’t decide if I like that it’s not individually wrapped or not.... So it makes me wonder tho, if you buy Tetley in GB, is it British Blend already.... or is this just marketing...? 😂
I'll start off with pedantry, cuz that's how me rolls, there's only one "N" so it's twi-nings. I've been drinking fresh coffee for the last couple of weeks but I am an ardent tea drinker. Nambarrie is my favourite, closely followed by Sainsbury's red label. If I had to pick a third it would Yorkshire. Oh, before I forget, Clippers were fast ships used for bringing tea and spices to the UK.
We've got Tetley's Original and English Breakfast in the house and I find that the English Breakfast has to be brewed with relatively less water per teabag.
I grew up in a PG tips house but when I moved out I went for red label because it was cheaper and it was far superior, much less bitter. I think every supermarket does a red label that is broadly the same.
Liking yorkshire tea is the first step to becoming an honourary yorkshire person Second step is learning to say "ey up" wearing a flat cap and breeding Whippets
"if you watch this whole video and don't subscribe, I hope you hate it" lmao, god you're so british now Alanna! Perfect blend of politeness and passive aggresiveness! And as a northerner, y our taking the piss banter is totally accepted and complimentary, love the accent as well. Oh and I'm sure I'm not the first to say - its Twinings pronounced i as in eye.
David Collins I'm south Yorkshire tetleys tea all the way,trouble i think with yorky tea is its got way to much tannin its very dry tasting by the way if you ever make white wine add a strong cup of tea no milk sugar to every gallon of liquid
We used to drink Tetley living in Canada. You could buy Yorkshire tea from the British shops, but very expensive. Love Yorkshire tea, my favourite too - with some chocolate digestives to dunk in makes it even more yummy!!
I’d have to say that it depends on where you live as to which you prefer, water quality affects the flavour quite a lot. So tea that tastes good in one county may taste worse in another. I generally drink Typhoo at home. Definitely prefer it. To PG Tips...
“Do you like my new favourite coffee cup? It has two shades of blue on it and has the letter A in it but really it’s my favourite because it’s the one that has tea in it!” I’m in a rabbit hole of UA-cam and now I’m making references between different channels, lockdown is hard guys
I discovered Yorkshire tea while living in Ottawa, and despite coming from Dorset, it became a favourite. I moved to Yukon, and have iron rich water, and.... it changed the taste, and not for the better! Apparently, Yorkshire makes a blend for hard water, but I've never seen it in Canada. Oh; I have 2 cupboards full of tea in my kitchen, so I am a bit of an aficionado!
It tastes like tea, the best review of any tea that I ever heard. Not that the tea is good, but the review is. And we do get Twinning Tea here in the USA. Thanks for another fun and wonderful video.
Blimey that was quick. When you said "eventually" I expected to wait a few months not weeks. As a product of Yorkshire, I should be loyal but both your top 2 are currently in my house although to be honest, if I'm gagging for a cuppa, I'll accept anything.
You haven't lived until you've tasted Ringtons Breakfast. It's a double strength tea bag and you can order it by post or a person in a van will bring it to your doorstep, if they deliver to your area. I loved Yorkshire Tea, then tried Ringtons and it was game over. Love the channel and your English accent is cool. :)
A few minor things about the video: I thought it was "Twine-ings" - you pronounced it as if it was spelled "Twinnings". Looks like you pluralised "Clipper" too (which I would contend isn't a popular brand, but I could be wrong on that) . And now for the missing elephant (not) in the room: Typhoo anyone?!
Yay! Me too, it has to be Yorkshire. Taylor’s of Harrogate also do Betty’s Tea Room tea, really lovely although it’s quite a bit more expensive. If you head to the Southwest try Miles tea, generally not available north of Bristol. If you get a teapot (someone had to say it), use the stuff that’s not in a teabag. I’m from Yorkshire by the way, so I’m being really equitable here.
as Yorkshire born & bred - I just buy the cheapest Aldi tea! But please can we have a video where you speak in "yorksher" all the way through...hilarious!
as a guy who has worked in the building trade for over 30 years ..... i have supped a lot of tea :) out of the ones you tried here, i think you got it spot on! but for me, yorkshire is southern! haha. another great vid my canadian friend! big love to all people :)
Nah! Wander around Whitby to see the harbour, the Abbey and its 199 steps, the Dracula.Experience and the best of fish+chips. And York, Ripon + Fountains Abbey. GREAT video by the way. Yorkshire Tea have a very active Twitter Account (good sense of humour) and they will be very amused by this...!
Try your local market ,there might be a stall that sells loose leaf tea (no bag) .It tastes better than the dust that is in teabags.You’ll need a tea strainer though.This is how it was done before teabags were invented,sometime in the 70s I think.Great video,love watching you,
Twine -ings! (Suggested pronunciation) The higher the temperature of the water, the more bitter the tea will be (generally) It also increases the caffeine content of the brew.

Ey up lad. Ow's tha doin'? Y'oreyt?
Liking yorkshire tea is the first step to becoming an honourary yorkshire person
Second step is learning to say "ey up" wearing a flat cap and breeding Whippets
"if you watch this whole video and don't subscribe, I hope you hate it" lmao, god you're so british now Alanna! Perfect blend of politeness and passive aggresiveness! And as a northerner, y our taking the piss banter is totally accepted and complimentary, love the accent as well.
Oh and I'm sure I'm not the first to say - its Twinings pronounced i as in eye.
There is Yorkshire Tea and then there is the rest - end of discussion.
David Collins I'm south Yorkshire tetleys tea all the way,trouble i think with yorky tea is its got way to much tannin its very dry tasting by the way if you ever make white wine add a strong cup of tea no milk sugar to every gallon of liquid
I have twinings green tea with lemon. It's a bit more refreshing than "standard" tea for me.
Also I am watching this eating Timbits and drinking Tim Hortons coffee. Nice.
We tend not to like Yorkshire tea but I’ll give it another go, I’d be interested to see what you though5 of Quick Brew. It’s nice
We used to drink Tetley living in Canada. You could buy Yorkshire tea from the British shops, but very expensive. Love Yorkshire tea, my favourite too - with some chocolate digestives to dunk in makes it even more yummy!!
My fav is Typhoo. You can get it in Canada at London Drugs.
Please use your “Yorkshire” accent more often. 😋🤘
BTW, it’s Tw-EYE-nings.
I think you have cracked it, I'm impressed that you've turned into a tea drinker. You have the Yorkshire accent off to pat.X
I’d have to say that it depends on where you live as to which you prefer, water quality affects the flavour quite a lot. So tea that tastes good in one county may taste worse in another. I generally drink Typhoo at home. Definitely prefer it. To PG Tips...
“Do you like my new favourite coffee cup? It has two shades of blue on it and has the letter A in it but really it’s my favourite because it’s the one that has tea in it!” I’m in a rabbit hole of UA-cam and now I’m making references between different channels, lockdown is hard guys
Favourite tea is Twinings ( Twine-ings) Earl Grey
Same here.
Same here, everyone I know thinks I'm weird. I can't drink normal tea anymore lol
@UClmWp9zbP6j44DAmUrRlnkQ Lady Grey very nice too.
I discovered Yorkshire tea while living in Ottawa, and despite coming from Dorset, it became a favourite. I moved to Yukon, and have iron rich water, and.... it changed the taste, and not for the better! Apparently, Yorkshire makes a blend for hard water, but I've never seen it in Canada. Oh; I have 2 cupboards full of tea in my kitchen, so I am a bit of an aficionado!
It tastes like tea, the best review of any tea that I ever heard. Not that the tea is good, but the review is. And we do get Twinning Tea here in the USA. Thanks for another fun and wonderful video.
Blimey that was quick. When you said "eventually" I expected to wait a few months not weeks. As a product of Yorkshire, I should be loyal but both your top 2 are currently in my house although to be honest, if I'm gagging for a cuppa, I'll accept anything.
Even a giraffe?!
@@deliciousexperience689 I am a giraffe, so yes
This could be an interesting one... (watching with a Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew) :p
At 5.40 you cracked me up 😂😂 I love love love your english accent. You need to do it more - "Yorkshire" 😂😂 it's fabulous 😉😉
You haven't lived until you've tasted Ringtons Breakfast. It's a double strength tea bag and you can order it by post or a person in a van will bring it to your doorstep, if they deliver to your area. I loved Yorkshire Tea, then tried Ringtons and it was game over. Love the channel and your English accent is cool. :)
A few minor things about the video: I thought it was "Twine-ings" - you pronounced it as if it was spelled "Twinnings". Looks like you pluralised "Clipper" too (which I would contend isn't a popular brand, but I could be wrong on that) . And now for the missing elephant (not) in the room: Typhoo anyone?!
Has to be Yorkshire Tea for me, every time.🙂
A clipper was a type of sailing ship used for transporting goods, especially tea.
Assam for Morning , Darjeeling for the Evening. Earl Grey for Summer, Lapsang for Winter Twinings, preferably.
As a Lancashire lad, I agree that PG is the best of the four brands you tested!
You know Yorkshire tea is best just admit it.
Don't fight it girl... The UK's number one best selling tea brand is of course!... Yorkshire Tea. ☕️
The best Tea is Kenyan tea, that's where Yorkshire get most of theirs from. Kericho gold the best tea.
Yay! Me too, it has to be Yorkshire. Taylor’s of Harrogate also do Betty’s Tea Room tea, really lovely although it’s quite a bit more expensive. If you head to the Southwest try Miles tea, generally not available north of Bristol. If you get a teapot (someone had to say it), use the stuff that’s not in a teabag. I’m from Yorkshire by the way, so I’m being really equitable here.
as Yorkshire born & bred - I just buy the cheapest Aldi tea! But please can we have a video where you speak in "yorksher" all the way through...hilarious!
I'd go for Assam.tea every time, either Twinings or Sains own brand are fine, big fan of Barry's but that's Irish
Lovely dress, Very spring like.
as a guy who has worked in the building trade for over 30 years ..... i have supped a lot of tea :) out of the ones you tried here, i think you got it spot on! but for me, yorkshire is southern! haha. another great vid my canadian friend! big love to all people :)
For me...
1. Clipper Organic
2. Yorkshire
3. PG tips
4. 'Twinnings'
5. Tetley
When lockdown is over, please do a video of you catching the train up to Leeds and wandering around the city saying ‘Yoooorksuuuure’ to random locals.
Nah! Wander around Whitby to see the harbour, the Abbey and its 199 steps, the Dracula.Experience and the best of fish+chips. And York, Ripon + Fountains Abbey. GREAT video by the way. Yorkshire Tea have a very active Twitter
Account (good sense of humour) and they will be very amused by this...!
@@raymondporter2094 Totally agree. 👍
Visited Leeds last February, I said "morning" to 5 people before I had a reply. I was worried that I wasn't even in the north!
@@hairyairey that's because it was morning, we don't function until 2pm

Everyone's personal taste is different, so enjoying Yorkshire Tea is great. Nothing to be annoyed about...
However Alanna realises that if you agree with people from Yorkshire they will never stop going on about it, so you don't want to do it too often.
Try your local market ,there might be a stall that sells loose leaf tea (no bag) .It tastes better than the dust that is in teabags.You’ll need a tea strainer though.This is how it was done before teabags were invented,sometime in the 70s I think.Great video,love watching you,
Twine -ings! (Suggested pronunciation) The higher the temperature of the water, the more bitter the tea will be (generally) It also increases the caffeine content of the brew.
Can we discuss ""Twinings" pronunciation, I've always said it like twine-ings, but now I'm doubting myself.
No, you're saying it right, don't you remember the advert with Stephen Fry??
No, you’re correct. Seriously, “Twinnings”? C’mon, how could you even think that?
Who's also drinking tea while watching this?
I immediately paused video and brewed a cuppa PG Tips Gold.
Yorkshire Tea is the correct answer from a Cumbrian Northerner 💪🏽
That hair flick at 4.39 was commercial (advert) qaulity! 'Does she or doesn't she?'! lol!
