Yar Tor
A blend of Assam & Darjeeling Teas for a golden, aromatic English afternoon tea.
Served to our Royal Family and their esteemed guests, this is the blend originally developed by Lyons, for the Buckingham Palace Garden Parties. Equal proportions of Darjeeling and Assam give a cup that is smooth and delicately flavoured.
A perfect match for light cucumber sandwiches and a freshly whipped cream sponge, we assure you that yourself and your guests will be suitably uplifted.
Loose Leaf or Bio Pyramids?
This tea is available in loose form or in our beautiful bio pyramids. Our biodegradable tea pyramids are suitable for composting and are completely free of microplastics. Made from a material called SOILON which contains lactic acid derived from corn starch, they are completely biodegradable and decompose within 30 days.
The dangers posed by microplastics on the environment are well documented. What people are less aware of are the staggering amounts of microplastics present in most tea bags. When steeped in hot water, they release billions of microplastic particles into the mug, each one the size of a grain of pollen.
When purchased in loose form, this tea is sealed within a biodegradable cornstarch pouch. So when buying our teas, whether in loose or pyramid form, you can do so safe in the knowledge that our tea bags and packaging materials are completely biodegradeable and free of microplastics.

So prominent and imposing is the mighty Yar Tor, that it is no wonder that mankind has seen fit to live, worship and bury its dead both on, and in the shadow of this Tor since prehistoric times.
Sitting against the rocks that once formed hut circles, the views are breathtaking. "The time to visit is certainly the evening, when Yar Tor is bathed in golden glory, and the woods are steeped in royal purple.” (Baring Gould)
