A very British Infusion

A site in Cornwall now exports its own highly exclusive tea, reports the BBC. Apparently the local climate is very similar to the foothills of the Himalayas. They even sell the tea to India!

And Yorkshire is not far behind.... Taylors of Harrogate could soon be using Yorkshire-sourced tea, after founding a plantation in North Yorkshire. Perhaps that will cause trading standards difficulties with their flagship brand Yorkshire Tea, however, unless they can grow sufficient quantities of the real Yorkshire Tea to cover the 10 million cups that Taylors claim is consumed per day !
