“Someday you will find me, caught beneath a landslide…”

Regular readers of our blog will know all about our celebrity fanbase. It’s quite a varied bunch, consisting of characters that range from 83-year old film-maker Ken Russell to unpredictable songstress Amy Winehouse. In terms of singing our praises, though, ‘rock & roll star’ Noel Gallagher takes some beating.

Not only has the ex-Oasis star frequently discussed his love for Yorkshire Tea live on Radio 1 with his DJ friend Chris Moyles (also a big fan), but now he’s picked our tea to feature with him in a gorgeous new photography book called Love Music Love Food.

A unique collection of portraits of musicians posing with their favorite food or drink, Love Music Love Food is a charitable project supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust, which helps improve the life and chances of survival for young people with cancer. All proceeds from the book go to the trust -  so it’s a lovely idea and a very good cause too.

Less hard rock and more hard water these days, Noel is pictured with a cup of his favourite brew attached to a special cupholder on his mike-stand, while another photo shows Yorkshire Tea teabags spilling out of his guitarcase.

As ever we’re blown away by Noel’s support, and chuffed to be associated with such a cracking project. Thanks Noel!

Just goes to show – Yorkshire Tea beats ‘cigarettes and alcohol’ any day!

So, previously on the blog, we’ve talked about our own obsessions - sending in photos when we see Yorkshire Tea on sale in far-flung places, or even taking a box on holiday so we can get a shot of us holding it in some unlikely location. Up a mountain, in a jungle, sitting next to a monkey… you name it and we’ve probably done it. With a pack of tea held proudly aloft.

However, this behaviour pales into insignificance compared to the devotion of Yorkshire Tea drinkers. Take a look at the gallery on our website and what you’ll see is the tip of a rather splendid iceberg of heartfelt loyalty.

One of more recent contributors went even further than usual. Not only did lovely Rita from Cascais in Portugal send us photos documenting a little tour of a region called Sintra with a box of Yorkshire Tea in tow, she even shot a video!

“I cannot live without a cup of Yorkshire Tea first thing in the morning (strong, no milk, 1 sugar),” says Rita. “I was first introduced to Yorkshire Tea two years ago when I moved to London, and have been in love ever since. After moving back to Portugal, I was very relieved to know that the English shop in Estoril sells YT!”

Thank you Rita!
