Yorkshire Tea Toast and Jam (currently unavailable) was a flavoured limited edition blend, black tea with toast and strawberry jam character. Discontinued. Loyal following misses it. Closest current alternative: Yorkshire Biscuit Brew.

The product (when available)

Yorkshire Tea base with malted toast and strawberry jam character; a sweet-fruit top over the familiar Yorkshire body.

Why discontinued

It was a limited edition that did not earn a permanent slot, quietly pulled from supermarket distribution by 2022. The flavour was more divisive than its Biscuit Brew sibling: biscuit pairs naturally with tea in British drinking culture, but toast-and-jam reads as breakfast food and the strawberry-jam top note tended to dominate the cup. The category fit was awkward, and softer sales than Biscuit Brew sealed it.

Where to find

  • eBay UK (search by exact product name).
  • Amazon Marketplace third party sellers.
  • Old stock at specialty retailers.

Quality declines after 12-18 months, so any remaining stock is well past its best.

Closest current alternative

Yorkshire Biscuit Brew is the nearest thing still on shelves: biscuit-and-tea character in the same flavoured-Yorkshire concept. For a decaf flavoured option there is Yorkshire Bedtime Brew (vanilla and nutmeg). Neither is a like-for-like jam flavour, but both scratch the same comfort-flavoured-Yorkshire itch.

The bottom line on Yorkshire Toast & Jam

A discontinued Yorkshire Tea flavoured-novelty experiment that didn't earn permanent shelf space. The strawberry-jam top note dominated the cup more than drinkers wanted, and the category fit between toast-as-breakfast and tea-as-drink was awkward. If you specifically remember and miss the flavour, specialty dessert-tea merchants can deliver something close; Yorkshire is not coming back to it. The Biscuit Brew is the nearest current pick.
