Thanks

There used to be the brooke bonds factory in burnley,, but i am not sure you can get that any more

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Thanks Grannyclaret, I read in friends of Lancashire that there was one available at Booths supermarket but as I live in Kent now, I believe this is a north west supermarket

Re: Lancashire tea
 

there is lancashire tea ! you get a bag and shove it in the cup and pour boiling water over it! its easy mate just try it :p

Re: Lancashire tea
 

it was great harwood granny!:)

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Yes very good staggeringman there is always one isnt there :rolleyes:

Re: Lancashire tea
 

You can get great tea in Clitheroe, they make a special one to suit the water there. I'll have a look next time I'm over there (either Easter or end of April) and see what I can find - it will be another excuse to meet up at the Dorchester - just you and me this time, ogling the waiters!!

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Hi ya Pendy
Sounds like you are trying to lead me astray again, just remember mine is the handsome waiter though hahaha
You say they make a great tea to suit the water but remember ours is the hardest water you can get (almost solid infact) so what suits Clitheroe wouldnt suit Kent, I dont think, Thanks for the offer, and I am green with envy, say hi to Lanky for me

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Yorkshire tea?

You'll be telling us next they have vineyards over the otherside of the Pennines, as well as tea plantations.;)

Re: Lancashire tea
 

They may well have vineyards
Next time you are in a supermarket take a look
Taylors of Harrogate make a Yorkshire tea, dont tell me they just sell it down south here in Kent or are you just winding me up :p

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Garinda....they DO do a Yorkshire Tea...and there are two varieties one for hard water and one for soft water. (I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere...but I am trying to be refined)!

Re: Lancashire tea
 

I see where you were going with the water.;)

Although not a tea drinker I have seen Yorkshire tea in the shops, and just presumed it must be blended there, or blended for our Yorkshire cousins, nice and bitter.;)

I wonder how long before an EEC directive makes them change it's name? What with all that business that Eccles cakes, and Pontefract cakes can only be produced in their town of origin.

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Erm, it is yorkshire tea, taylors of harogate are the only makers of yorkshire tea, or blenders of it, and harogate is in yorkshire, so therfore yorkshire tea really is yorkshire tea. Probably first blended up there and sold locally back when shops served the customer, instead of giving us empty shelves and blocking of the full ones with trolleys full of unstacked stock.
All this about it having to be made there is stupid, it's about the recipe not wherre it's made.

Re: Lancashire tea
 

ok for all you none believers out there, I will answer my own question

www.lancashiretea.co.uk

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Did anyone give Lancashire tea a try ?????
I did and I thought if was very good and can recommend it

go to www.lancashiretea.co.uk and give it a go

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Yuk, I'll stick with coffee.;)

It should really be called Mersey Tea, as according to their website they are based in Newton-le-Willows, which is now in the Metropolitan County of Merseyside and not Lancashire.:p

Re: Lancashire tea
 

:engsmil: The Real Friends of Lancashire or Made in Lancashire would not agree. There are many from Manchester, Merseyside and Cumbria who still feel they are part of the great county of Lancashire. However we hope you enjoy our tea. TEA THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. By the way you can have the coffee. Best Wishes:Banane47:

Re: Lancashire tea
 

just seen it advertised on itv that at 6.25 ths eve there will be a bit on granada news about this product, if anybody is interested :D

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Well, I have had a look at their website.......I like loose tea...or leaf tea as it is also called. I would be pushing it to get through 6 kilo's of loose leaf tea.......now if it was sold in half pound packs, well I just might be tempted to try it. At present I use either Tata (which is packaged by Brooke Bond) or Tesco Premium leaf Tea.....having said that i am finding it increasingly difficult to find loose leaf tea.......tea bags seem to be taking over.

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Would your group's name not be better if you were called The Friends of the Real Lancashire?


I agree with you by the way, was just being cheeky.:p

Re: Lancashire tea
 

We are a new company and have recieved great support from the people of Lancashire. MargThe web site is selling 6 x 250gram of loose tea

Thanks Oscar Wilde you made us join the site anyway. We can't use the any other title for legal reasons. plus we might upset are friends who are the real friends of Lancashire

Best Wishes

Re: Lancashire tea
 

I have a box of Lancashire tea sat in one of the kitchen cupboards. Not actually tried it yet as I've already got another box of Asda tea bags on the go, but the said box of Lancashire tea was bought in Accrington's Asda. Go have a look!

Re: Lancashire tea
 

It's a stronger fuller flavour than asda'a own, I used to like yorkshire tea, I'm on 1640 bags of pg pyramids at the moment.

Re: Lancashire tea
 

I was at teh NW Food lovers festival at Tatton Park yesterday and picked up a sample of Lancashire tea. Very nice it is too (altjough I am sat drinking it in Cheshire with Cheshire water, I'll try a cup tonight with good old Accy corporation pop.

Re: Lancashire tea
 

You are showing your age Ian :D

Re: Lancashire tea
 

Just because you have to be a certain age doesn't mean you have to act it :D

Re: Lancashire tea
 

What is 'Corporation Pop'?

Is it what you had to drink at State schools?:D

Re: Lancashire tea
