8th May 1997

Thank you for your recent letter. We were delighted to read that you have converted your Vicar to Yorkshire Tea!

Thank you also for your enquiry regarding the name of Yorkshire Tea. We would love to be able to grow tea here in Harrogate although sadly the climatic conditions are far from ideal! Instead our Tea Buyer visits tea estates and tea gardens around the world searching for fine quality teas to use in our blends.

Taylors of Harrogate was founded in 1886 and we remain very proud of our Yorkshire heritage. Still today all our teas are blended and packed in Harrogate and for this reason our rich, refreshing blend is called Yorkshire Tea. The name is registered and trade marked.

Thank you once again for your interest in our business and we do hope you will continue to enjoy drinking Yorkshire Tea.
