I have a few friends and one is from Yorkshire. She was extolling the virtue of Yorkshire tea. Haven’t had it yet, so I’ll report back when I do.

I also like going Earl Grey if i want a quick tea. And i hope there is this option when i’m with tea barbarian’s. You know those who drink fruit flavered tea.
