Tea, apparently, has its own wars of the roses. Although it appears that Yorkshire has won by the popular vote, Lancashire continues to throw its hat into the ring.

Being from Liverpool I should naturally favour Lancashire tea to Yorkshire tea, but it would take a lot to dethronemy beloved Yorkshire Tea.

Lancashire tea has the same golden-brown, yet creamy, appearance of Yorkshire tea, and the taste and smell is very simalar; its a rich, strong tasting tea, and the taste immediatley fills your mouth.  However, its still not as rich as Yorkshire Tea. It almost tastes as though the blend is the same, but made from Yorkshire’s off-cuts.

If you like strong, rich tea, but find that sometimes Yorkshire can be just a little too much, then lancashire tea is perfect, but for me that lack of strength is not a plus point.
