Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate is a family-owned company based in Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England, which is primarily known for the operation of tea rooms and sale of tea and coffee. Taylors of Harrogate was founded in 1886 by Charles Edward Taylor and his brother and specialised in blending tea and coffee. The first Bettys Café Tea Room was opened in Harrogate by the Swiss confectioner Frederick Belmont in 1919, and in 1962 the company acquired Taylors. Yorkshire Tea, a black tea blend and one of the company's best-known products, was launched in 1977. Today, Bettys and Taylors Group interests include Yorkshire Tea, Taylors Coffee Merchants, Bettys Tea Rooms, Bettys Cookery School, and Bettys Confectionery. The group is currently chaired by Clare Morrow, a former journalist.
