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!!

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
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)!

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.
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.

: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
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 
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.
