{"product_id":"lancashire-tea","title":"Lancashire Tea","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-body-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLancashire Tea was founded in 2005 with one clear purpose: to give the historic county of Lancashire a tea identity of its own. Produced in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, by Keith Spicer Ltd., the blend draws on teas from Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, and Sumatra, carefully combined to produce a consistent, robust everyday cup. The brand made headlines in 2008 when it broke two Guinness World Records, using a 60kg teabag to brew 400 litres of tea outside a Preston supermarket. In 2009, the packaging was redesigned following a public vote among the brand's community, with the winning design featuring a hand-drawn map of the historic county. A social media mention from a well-known author in 2015 sent sales surging and introduced Lancashire Tea to a far wider audience. The distinctive red box is now a familiar sight across the north of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLancashire Tea is a bold, no-nonsense everyday black tea with a strong amber colour and a satisfying, brisk finish. It works well with milk and is very much a builder-strength brew for those who like their tea to mean something. If you prefer a lighter cup, a slightly shorter steep is the way to go. Sold in the classic 80-teabag box format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoy Lancashire Tea, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/scotch-abrams-english-breakfast-tea\"\u003eScotch and Abram's English Breakfast Tea\u003c\/a\u003e is our take on the bold, full-bodied British everyday blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; font-family: var(--font-heading--family); color: #1f1f1f;\"\u003eHow to brew the perfect cup\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col class=\"brewing-steps\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoil fresh water and allow it to reach a full rolling boil (100°C \/ 212°F).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace one teabag in your mug and pour the boiling water directly over it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteep for 3 to 4 minutes depending on your preferred strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the teabag without squeezing, then add a splash of milk to taste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; font-family: var(--font-heading--family); color: #1f1f1f;\"\u003eHow does it compare?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compare-teas\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"compare-chip\" href=\"\/products\/typhoo-240-tea-bags\"\u003eMilder \u0026amp; Lighter: Typhoo Tea\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca class=\"compare-chip\" href=\"\/products\/builders-80-tea-bags\"\u003eSimilar Strength: Builders Tea\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca class=\"compare-chip\" href=\"\/products\/pg-tips-80-tea-bags\"\u003eClassic Rival: PG Tips Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-body-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLancashire Tea sits in the same bold, everyday category as Builders Tea and PG Tips, all delivering a strong amber brew that takes milk well. Typhoo is a gentler option with a lighter body, better suited to those who prefer a less assertive cup. Of the three, Lancashire Tea has the most distinctly northern English character, brisk and direct with good depth of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lancashire","offers":[{"title":"80 Teabags","offer_id":51309497745714,"sku":"LNCST","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2296\/1714\/files\/lancashire_2.jpg?v=1781379688","url":"https:\/\/www.teadog.com\/products\/lancashire-tea","provider":"Teadog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
