Taylors of Harrogate Tea Reviews
Taylors of Harrogate is a high end tea company whose most famous blend is Yorkshire Tea. It was started by tea and coffee distributor Charles Taylor in 1886. Taylors of Harrogate takes great pride in the fact that they have been family owned ever since its inception, though they do not specify which family owns them. Their locally owned credentials would be challenged, for example, if they were family owned by the Rockefellers or the Hiltons. No matter.
Charles Taylor of Harrogate fame was the first teasan to realize that the quality of the water was just as important as the quality of the tea used. According to Mr. Taylor, calcium carbonate in water can interact with tea to create "scum." Who would have known?
Finally, Taylors of Harrogate tea pride themselves in their standards. Every tea brand will tell you that they have the finest, hand picked, highest quality tea, blah blah yada yada yawn. But, Taylors of Harrogate adds some backing to this ubiquitous statement: they have tea experts (what Tea Amigos calls teasans) roam the world tasting hundreds of teas. To join the ranks of these master tea buyers, one must have 5 years of experience. Considering both Dax and Mike were born with a tea IV, we should apply for this job.
