Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshire Tea was until recently closely associated with the WI and used to send 2.5 million tea bags to the WIs in England and Wales every year. When their charismatic chairman Jonathan Wild addresed over 5,000 members at The Albert Hall in June 2009 he took one look at the vast auditorium and said "Do you know, I could murder a cup of tea!"

There is now a WI at "Bettys", their cake factory.
