Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshire Tea

Ask people who are not English to describe or say something about the English and I suspect tea would be high on any list.

Here in Yorkshire a popular brand of tea is Yorkshire Tea a black blend of tea made by Taylors of Harrogate, one of the few remaining family tea and coffee merchants in the UK.

I may be wrong but I think we are the only county in the UK to have our own blend of tea. When my good friend Bridget returned home to Saint Paul, MN she carried with her my small gift of a standard pack of this nice tea. So even in Minnesota Bridget can enjoy a nice cup of Yorkshire tea.

  1. Nice photo with colorful teapot and big cup! I have had quite a few of these boxes with tea in my suitcases on my way back home to Norway.
    Nice tea, and also nice to give as a gift from England.

  2. We can buy Yorkshire tea down here in Southern California -- at the English store.

  4. Paul, what a pretty way to photography this with the teapot and cup in the background. I like the packaging on this tea, as well. Yum, tea! Isn't it cool how something so common to you would be such a novelty to us. Knowing that gives more meaning to your everyday items, doesn't it? - I will look at my world with fresh eyes today because of this.
