Yorkshire Tea Cherry Bakewell Brew

The Tea

Here's a scrumptious tea that tastes like a Cherry Bakewell. Why? Because tea and cake were born to be together - so when you taste them both at the same time, you know it's something special. A Yorkshire brew with that sweet, jammy, almondy loveliness is just the ticket.

RAINFOREST ALLIANCE

All Yorkshire Tea products are Rainforest Alliance Certified™, grown and harvested on farms and forests that follow their sustainable practices. This certification encompasses all three pillars of sustainability — social, economic, and environmental.

ETHICAL TEA PARTNERSHIP

We’re also members of the Ethical Tea Partnership – with them we are able to partner with our suppliers and other tea companies to develop and support initiatives at community level as well as responding to major social and environmental challenges that the tea industry still faces.

The box

The box is made from cartonboard, which is made from trees – a renewable resource that can easily be replenished.
This goes in your paper and cardboard recycling.

The tea bags

75% of the tea bag material is natural-based fibres: a mix of wood pulp and either abaca (a kind of banana plant) or rayon (made from woodpulp). 25% is an oil-based plastic sealing material called polypropylene, but we plan to switch that to what we now use to seal most of our other tea bags - a renewable, plant-based, industrially compostable bioplastic called Polylactic Acid (PLA), which is made from cornstarch.
At the moment, these should go in your refuse bin.

The inner wrap

This is made from metallised polypropylene (an oil-based plastic). This can be recycled by taking it to your local supermarket collection point.

what is Cherry Bakewell Brew

Ever dunked a Cherry Bakewell in your tea? Of course not! People would give you funny looks. But nibble one while you sip and you’ll find that, blimey, they don’t half go well together. So, we made a tea that tastes of Cherry Bakewells - a good, strong Yorkshire brew with a nice portion of jammy, desserty, cakey flavour, for a sweet treat tea break you can have again and again.
