War of the teasSee this and more of my photos on Flickr › I live in Harrogate, home of Betty's and Taylors of Harrogate. They make the Yorkshire Tea. We drink Yorkshire Tea nowadays. I've liked a few other teas - Ringtons Gold ([[1-Projects/DragonDrop-Adventures/posts/2005/2005-08-03-748|which was once subject to a tea off - documented on this very site]]) and Barry's from Dublin.
I work in Lancashire - just over the border. I smuggled Yorkshire Tea in past border control. One of my work mates from Lancashire brought in the box of Lancashire Tea. I did try it, and with as unbiased a pallet as possible concluded that it's no where near as good as Yorkshire Tea - it's got a slightly tarnished, cloudy taste to it - a bit like you get with generic, cheap institutionalised tea.
I thanked my colleague for his tea and bid him a good day.

I suspect the delicate Lancastrian flavours (pie, soil, old bin bags) were too complex for your workman-like Yorkshire palate. Or you could try washing out your mug first ;) Good day!
I have a box of that Lancashire tea which was kindly bought for me by my auntie... it tastes WELL WRONG!!! I subsiquently gave the box to my father, and even he won't drink it!
