There's quite a buzz in Yorkshire this year. It's because the Tour de France - the biggest cycling event in the world - is setting off from our doorstep.

In fact, the race will be passing right by Yorkshire Tea HQ in Harrogate. There's going to be plenty of competition for the upstairs window with the best view.

With all this excitement, we felt it was only proper for us to get involved. That's why we're the Official Tea Partner of The Grand Départ.

The Grand Départ of the Tour de France takes place in Yorkshire on the weekend of July 5 and 6.

The first stage races from Leeds to Harrogate via the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the second stage races from York to Sheffield via Pennine Yorkshire and the Peak District National Park.

A third stage takes place on July 7, racing from Cambridge to London before it returns to northern France.
