Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate is a family-owned company based in Yorkshire, England.[1] Bettys Café tea rooms serve traditional meals with influences from both Switzerland and Yorkshire.

Taylors of Harrogate was founded in 1886 as a family business that specialised in blending tea and coffee. The brand is best known for Yorkshire Tea. In 1962, Bettys acquired Taylors, leading to the formation of Bettys and Taylors Group. The group is currently chaired by Clare Morrow, a former journalist.

Yorkshire Tea was introduced by Charles Edward Taylor and his brother in 1883. The brothers later opened "Tea Kiosks" in Harrogate and Ilkley. Today, Bettys and Taylors' brands include Yorkshire Tea, Taylors Coffee Merchants, Bettys Tea Rooms, Bettys Cookery School, and Bettys Confectionery.[2]
