Yorkshire Tea
 

Just been to a Walmart in North Dakota and found both Yorkshire Tea and Yorkshire Tea Gold :thumbsup:. From what I can see, they are a damn sight cheaper than the Brit shops selling them online.
So if you:
a. shop over the border for your groceries.
b. have good taste.
then keep your eyes peeled.

Went to Walmart in Calgary last week for the first time in a while. They seem to have expanded their British section quite a bit and had the Yorkshire Tea I remember. London Drugs also had a few British items much cheaper than the British Pantry.

Re: Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshire Tea = Tim Hortons coffee

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

I'm taking a big box of Scottish Blend with me.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

In sales, yep your probably right ;).

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Tetley is available in all supermarkets :thumbsup:

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Yorkshire tea avail in most BC supermarkets

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Have not come across it at all in our local supermarkets. In fact the only Tetley's we have found in MB has been the orange pekoe :eek:.
So you can only imagine our unbridled joy at our latest discovery :thumb:.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Oh dear.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Lancashire Tea = Starbucks :p

Only the best products come out of Yorkshire ;)

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Given that, in the UK, there has been a very big advertising promo showing a big van going round the US advertising Yorkshire tea I would have assumed that it had become more available there, they are shown serving it to US people as well as ex-pats.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Oh for the love of god!!
Thank you Alan!

ORANGE PEKOE is a tea GRADING system NOT a bloody flavour.

The tea in the Tetleys box is EXACTLY the same as in the UK boxes!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Given that the tea is all grown in India why not go down to your local Indian grocery shop and get some of that? :confused:

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Yes, we can't move for Indian grocery shops in the middle of Manitoba!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Great, still tastes like shite.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

I'm pretty sure I ordered Orange Pekoe the last time I had a Chinese?

:confused:

Think you will find its the water / boiling time , not the tea .. Tis the same works wide

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Don't suppose you have one of these shortcuts for Brandon MB as thats only 70 minutes away, Winnipeg is 3 hours.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Nope, have found from previous experience having been served up Pekoe from various people in various places on various occasions it tastes like shite!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

It's all in your head. Orange Pekoe is just what people in north america mistakenly call black tea. It's the same stuff - really it is.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Obv we are wrong Mr A :blink:

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

It always amazes me the number of people on this site who drink piss and eat shite.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Hey, welcome to Canada!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

I do it for fun but that's a different website.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

For a bet, maybe. For fun is just wrong ;).

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Don't think it's that bad, not that I've tasted shite before ;) but it definitely tastes different than the Brit one. And it's not solemnly the water either. We brought some English tea back to Canada and it still tasted nice even with our water. Got some Orange Pekoe and don't like it anymore. Although for some reason the cheapest Walmart great value pack tastes better than all the expensive brands. In the US Walmart you can get Tetley's British blend, that's not too bad.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Look chaps, my mum drinks the tea here and has no complaints, as long as it's made from bottled water she is happy. This is a woman who has marched into cafe kitchens and shown them how to make tea properly.

If it's ok by her, then you lot are wrong.

Simple.

end of.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

We have been getting the Tetley British Blend from Walmart US since we got here 19 months ago and its fine. We were just pleasently suprised to find Yorkshire Tea suddenly being stocked and at a reasonable price too. The only time we came across Yorkshire Tea over here was at an English pavillion at an international festival in Brandon. We bought some but it cost a kidney!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Buy Canadian Breakfast Tea - it's very similar to the English blends.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

We start to panic when our Yorkshire tea bag reserves drop below 240! One of our stipulations for our visitors from the UK is to bring a 240 box with them, and if they are big tea drinkers bring 2

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Same here, we even get family to send them to us through the post :thumbsup:

You are not truly assimilated in Canada until you think Timmies "Steeped Tea" is a good thing.;)

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

I'll have to check it out. I know the European store (Glogowski's?) sells it but it seemed to be quite dear in there.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
 

Of course we're wrong. When did hard facts and science ever stand in the way of an "it doesn't taste the same" opinion.

Look, people, Tetley Orange Pekoe teabags sold in every single Canadian supermarket are EXACTLY THE SAME as Tetley Original teabags sold in the UK. For those who make a special journey over the border to buy "English" Tetley in US Walmart stores - it's a wasted journey. Tetley sells the same product in the US as "Classic Blend", in Canada as "Orange Pekoe" and in the UK as "Original." The US "British Blend" is the same stuff as the Canadian "Bold Blend." They're made in the same place, on the same production line, using the same ingredients, but put in boxes with different words and pictures on them. Any difference in a brew made using the same water is entirely in the imagination of the drinker.
