Three days, 30 winners and hundreds of thousands of boxes of tea.

That was our experience of Le Grand Départ in a nutshell. Because when the Tour de France comes to Yorkshire (and passes right through our home town of Harrogate) there's one thing you know for certain – there are going to be a lot of people, and they're going to be needing a lot of tea.

After getting on board as Le Grand Départ's Official Brew, we travelled the route to hand out samples of our special commemorative Yorkshire Thé by the bucketload.

Anyone who got a pack could tweet a picture of themselves with it to be in with a chance of winning a whole year's supply. And tweet they did! There were 30 lucky winners, picked from hundreds of entrants. It was a bit of a whirlwind.

We've collected just a few of our picture memories of the event above. And you can see more of them on our Facebook photo gallery here.

Now if you'll excuse us, we're going for a lie down.
