Yorkshire Tea steps into iced tea market

Yorkshire Tea is entering the iced tea sector for hospitality this June.

The brand will introduce Yorkshire Tea Iced in two flavours, lemon and peach and raspberry.

Crafted from a bespoke tea extract made from Yorkshire Gold loose leaf blend and flavoured naturally, the cold drinks are designed to be flavourful yet low on calories.

Yorkshire Tea Iced is launching first in 330ml glass bottles, designed for cafés, delis, hotels and bars.

Yorkshire Tea is part of the Bettys and Taylors Group, which also owns the Taylors of Harrogate coffee brand and Betty’s Café Tea Rooms.

In 2020 the brand became carbon neutral following five years of supply chain projects.

Established more than 40 years ago, the brand makes more than five billion teabags per year and exports to over 28 countries.

The company’s founder, Lesley Margaret Wild, received a CBE in 2024 as part of the King’s Birthday Honours.
