Russell Crowe launches tea range

A touch of Hollywood landed at Yorkshire Tea's head office, as Russell Crowe dropped in for a cup of tea.

He left his mark on the place, which he stopped by during his tour of the UK with his band.

“It was a complete surprise for staff when Russell and the band parked up their tour bus for a tea break on their way to the City Varieties. We can’t thank them enough for dropping by and treating us to a performance. Coincidentally it was the day after we celebrated Yorkshire Tea’s 40th birthday, so the band’s visit signified our second ‘Indoor Garden Party’ of the week!” said Dom Dwight, marketing director at Yorkshire Tea.

The brand specially designed some "Crowe's Tea" to welcome the star.

“There are an extraordinary amount of stars who love a proper brew and regularly sing Yorkshire Tea’s praises. When we get a chance to say thank you, we like to do it properly!” he continued.

The team also took their brews to his next gig in Leeds, offering Crowe's Tea to audience members!
