Taylors of Harrogate | Yorkshire Tea

Britain's most-loved everyday brew, family-owned for 130+ years. Yorkshire Tea is currently the UK's best-selling black tea by volume, overtook PG Tips around 2017 and has held the top spot since.

Yorkshire Tea is the family-owned blend out of Harrogate that became Britain's favourite. The Original is the everyday workhorse; Gold steps it up with stronger Assam character; Hard Water powers through limescale areas. Taylors has been in the same family since 1886, sources ethically through the Rainforest Alliance, and famously refuses gimmicks.

Curator says · Lee on Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshire is the British shelf benchmark for proper strong tea. The Original is the cup that survives milk and still tastes like tea, the Gold is the after-dinner upgrade, and the Hard Water variant genuinely does what it says on the box. Family-owned, no gimmicks, consistent year on year. If a customer asks me what tea bag to buy and they don't know where to start, I tell them Yorkshire.

About Yorkshire Tea

Founded 1886 · Family-owned

Taylors of Harrogate is the family tea and coffee house behind Yorkshire Tea, and the two names are one story. Charles Taylor founded the business in Yorkshire in 1886, and it has stayed independent and family-owned ever since as part of Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate. Yorkshire Tea launched in 1977 and grew on a stubborn proposition: a strong, full and consistent blend engineered to work in hard water or soft.

The range covers Original, Hard Water, decaf, Gold, loose leaf and a small set of flavoured brews. Taylors is a certified B Corporation with Rainforest Alliance sourcing, long investment in growing communities and fully biodegradable plastic-free bags. For our shelf it is the gold standard for strong, dependable British black tea with genuine integrity behind it.
