Local boy makes tea

Harrogate and after a hearty breakfast into town for some serious shopping. This was made more civilised by a cup of tea in a nice church once again providing peace in a very busy place. There were six people in the queue so the flustered volunteer lady apologised that they were busy. Bettys, the amazing tea rooms finished the experience with their locally blended tea. As usual there was a long but civilised queue of about half an hour which also as usual was well worth it. Bettys also owns Taylors which with their branded blends Yorkshire Tea is probably the best tea in britain. I can't understand why the hotel we're in is serving the european tea brand Liptons. It's pretty disgusting and presented as it is with a flask of hot, not boiling water... Blahhhh!
When will we ever learn? I know we're in an international chain but why can't we locally source even the most basic stuff?
So now I am drinking tea made from my own tea bag from Bettys...
Hmmmmm!
At least I'm locally sourced.
