What is the Brew range?

Taylors of Harrogate's Brew range takes the Yorkshire Tea approach, a strong black blend intended for milk, and adds a flavour on top. Malty Biscuit Brew is the one aimed squarely at the British habit of having a biscuit with a cup of tea: the flavour leans toward malt and digestive biscuit rather than toward anything fruity or floral.

The 40-bag box is the standard size for the range. These are bought as a second tea rather than as a household staple, which is why they come in smaller boxes than the 160-bag everyday blends.

Why this is not the same as American flavoured tea

The category difference is real. Flavoured tea in the United States is overwhelmingly built for drinking without milk: fruit infusions, herbal blends, spiced teas, chai concentrates. The base is usually light, and milk is not assumed.

Malty Biscuit Brew inverts that. The base is a full-strength British black tea, and the flavour is designed to work once milk goes in. Drunk plain it can read as odd; drunk the intended way, with milk and no sugar, it makes more sense. If you approach it as you would an American flavoured tea, you will misjudge it.

The other difference is restraint. British flavoured black teas tend to be subtle to the point that Americans sometimes find them underpowered, because the flavour is there to season the tea rather than to replace it.

How to brew it

Fully boiling water, three to four minutes, then milk. Do not squeeze the bag hard against the side of the mug, which pushes bitterness out of the leaf. If it tastes thin, the water was probably not at a true boil, which is a common problem in American kitchens.

Frequently asked questions

Does it actually taste of biscuits?

It leans malty rather than sweet, closer to the flavour of a digestive biscuit than to a dessert tea. British flavoured teas are generally subtler than American ones.

Should I add milk?

Yes. The blend is built on a black tea base designed for milk, which is the main thing that separates it from American flavoured teas.

Do I need a different kettle?

Not strictly, but it helps to know why British tea can taste flat in an American kitchen. US mains power runs at a lower voltage than UK mains, so a domestic electric kettle boils more slowly, and plenty of American kitchens have no kettle at all. Black tea of this strength wants water at a proper rolling boil poured straight onto the bag. Water heated in a microwave rarely gets there evenly, and that alone accounts for a lot of disappointing brews.

Is it caffeinated?

It is built on a black tea base, so yes. For a caffeine-free option in the evening, look at Yorkshire Bedtime Brew and check the pack for its caffeine content.
