Hi guys - someone very kindly brought me back a bumper box (250 teabags) of Taylors Yorkshire Tea when they returned from a UK trip last week.

Unfortunately I cannot drink tea anymore so it's going begging. I know there are several serious tea drinkers on this site so if anyone would like this (unopened) box then please PM me and you are quite welcome to it. I would rather it went to a good home than have to bin it in a year or so!

Shame I am not over there - I would have had them! I love a good cup of Yorkshire tea. I would tho - I live in Yorkshire.

If you have no takers - give it a couple of months for me to get over there and I'll have um!

How about donating to the Food Bank?

That's a great idea! - (and also great that Calgary has a food bank!)

Everywhere in Canada has food banks. A surprisingly large number of people require them to live from day to day.

You could make wine out of it. My nan used to make some pretty potent stuff out of tea bags

Nan's into tea-bagging too? A wonderful old lady to be sure.

Why put more hardship on those relying on the food banks by giving some unfortunate soul Yorkshire Tea bags.

Shame that they are few and far between in the UK.

I am ashamed to say that I am a Yorkshire lass who doesn't like Yorkshire tea (give me a nice cup of Twinnings earl grey any day!)

Food bank is a fab idea - most supermarkets have a donations bin for them... otherwise, take them into work and leave in the kitchen. someone will drink them.

Well I've lived in Yorkshire for over 10 years and always buy tetleys

How will I cope in Canada?

Believe it or not Canada sells Tetley tea bags though the orange pekoe variety. Plus didnt Twinnings move their operations to Poland (bastards).

That's cos there is a welfare system that people are able to live on.

Is orange pekoe a type or brand of tea?

Had that red something in the hotels and you cannot get a decent cup no matter how much you squeeze the bag!

Probably Red Rose and not the flower variety of my county of birth.
Dont believe the ads Royalty does not drink Red Rose tea when they visit here as its shite. You might want to load up a few cases of tetley in your container until you become accustomed to the shite they sell off as tea over here.
