Re: Yorkshire Tea
I hate to spoil the fantasy of pretty teenage handmaidens picking the choicest leaves but I have seen those 'girls' and most of them have toothless smiles and look about 100 years old close up - mostly I expect due to hard labour out in the sun all day.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Has to be a poor teenage girl who has never been schooled, pencil calloused hands would damage the leaves and knowlege would taint them. She should be weighed down by the strain of supporting her family and brothers schooling until they can arrange a marraige for her.
Don't look at me, I didn't make the rules.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I've had Dilmah Extra Strong for a number of years but I treated myself to some Yorkshire tea and I haven't been able to go back! Did try it again and it was so weak compared to the Yorkshire tea that I've given it up. Tea is important to my existence 
so I'm prepared to pay the inflated prices!

Twinnings English Breakfast Extra Strong is the way to go :-)

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Tetley Tea for me. Yes, I pay silly money for it at an expat shop. However, it's what I prefer.
I drink 'Bell Tea' at a pinch on a self catering holiday. I drink Dilmah when I'm at work, however, 'real tea' for me is Tetley.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I'm a Tetley lass too. I'm dreading having to potentially ration it
