About Taylors Of Harrogate
Taylors of Harrogate is one of Britain's most respected tea and coffee merchants, with a heritage stretching back to 1886 when brothers Charles Taylor and his sibling established C.E. Taylor & Co in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Their flagship Cafe Imperial at 1 Parliament Street, Harrogate became famous across the region, and local grocers would bring water samples so Taylors could blend tea perfectly suited to their area's water hardness. In 1962, Bettys—the famous Yorkshire tea rooms founded in 1919 by Swiss confectioner Frederick Belmont—acquired Taylors, forming the Bettys & Taylors Group. The company launched Yorkshire Tea in 1977 as "a Yorkshire blend for Yorkshire people," initially creating different blends for different parts of Yorkshire based on local water hardness. In November 2019, Yorkshire Tea became Britain's bestselling tea brand with 28% market share. Today, over 10 million cups of Yorkshire Tea are consumed daily in the UK. The company holds a Royal Warrant granted by the Prince of Wales in 2009 and was a founding member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, monitoring worker conditions and sustainable tea production. Taylors remains one of the few family-owned tea and coffee merchants in Britain, still owned by Frederick Belmont's descendants and chaired by Lesley Wild. The product range includes Yorkshire Tea (Original, Gold, Decaffeinated, Hard Water variants), specialty teas (green, white, herbal, organic), and a comprehensive coffee selection including ground coffee, whole beans, and coffee bags roasted on a scale of 3 to 7 for different strength preferences.
