The President of India, Pratibha Devisingh Patil, is in London today. There’s a big state banquet being held in her honour at Guildhall.

Not sure why we’re telling you this? Then we’ll explain...

We've been asked to provide the tea!

The organisers of the event had been really impressed by some tea that we'd supplied for other events they’d arranged, so they felt we were exactly the people to turn to.

Obviously we were rather chuffed. These events are attended by important guests like members of the royal family and government so supplying the tea was an honour indeed.

‘But what about us?’ you cry. ‘We’re not going to this fancy dinner.’

Don’t feel too bad. Tea from this estate also goes into our Yorkshire Gold blend.

So next time you enjoy a cup, remind yourself that you’re drinking something fit for world leaders!
