We should know something about this fine tea as it is the hometown of our very own “Tea Lady.”

Why does a small town in North Yorkshire have a tea named after it, I hear you ask? Harrogate is well known for its water, the prime ingredient in a fresh hot cuppa!

Tewitt Well

Tea and Harrogate have a shared history dating back to almost the first recorded tea consumption in Britain.

Harrogate is home to many ancient wells, the most famous being Tewitt Well, which William Slingsby discovered during the 1700s. He believed the water had healing properties and could cure almost anything.

As a result, the town became a Spa center where the rich and famous bathed in and drank the waters consuming a few cups of tea along the way.

Needless to say, Harrogate is also famous for the teashops, and a visit to the town is not complete without a visit to Bettys for tea and a plate of their superb pastries.

Yorkshire people are renowned for being honest and saying it just how it is or “calling a spade a spade,” as it were. This is a great morning or afternoon tea, but brilliant for curling up on your couch.

You will never have felt better than you do after a cup (or two, maybe three) of our Harrogate Yorkshire black tea. You may never drink any other tea ever again!

20 to 25 cups of tea can be made from 2 oz of loose-leaf tea.
