Taylors of Harrogate Tea and Coffee

Taylors of Harrogate is a prestigious British family business with a heritage dating back to 1886. Founded by Charles Taylor and his two sons in North Yorkshire, the company began as a tea and coffee merchant. Today, it is part of the Bettys & Taylors Group, which remains an independent family-owned business headquartered in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

While the raw ingredients—such as tea leaves and coffee beans—are ethically sourced from various countries across Africa, Asia, and South America, the actual blending, roasting, and packaging predominantly take place at their facilities in Harrogate. The brand is renowned for its commitment to quality and sustainability, holding a Royal Warrant as a supplier of beverages to the British Royal Household.

Ownership has remained remarkably stable throughout its history. Unlike many large beverage brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Taylors of Harrogate continues to be owned and operated by the descendants of the original founding family under the Bettys & Taylors Group umbrella.
