Alongside offering Breakfast Brew and Bedtime Brew teas, Yorkshire Tea recently launched the Biscuit Brew as a new product that combines the flavors of both tea and biscuits.
As much as biscuits and tea are a tried-and-true pairing, actually combining them can lead to complications like soggy crumbs collecting at the bottom of one's cup. As Kate Halloran, Tea Innovation Manager at Yorkshire Tea, notes: "we’re offering all the happiness of tea and biscuits – just without the biscuit and any of the potential pitfalls that come with it." For optimal enjoyment, Yorkshire Tea recommends brewing the natural Rainforest Alliance Certified tea with milk.
The Biscuit Brew recently became available for purchase—well ahead of April Fool's Day this year—through retailers such as Morrisons in the UK.
