Arguably one of Yorkshire Tea's biggest fans, Nathan Derek Garner, decided to legally change his name to reflect his love of tea. He now goes by Nathan Yorkshire Tea Garner.

Technically the UK-native only changed his middle name, but still, that's a lot of work just to prove how much you love tea. And love tea he does.

Garner drinks about 20 cups of Yorkshire Tea on an average day, according to Express, and he's had a love of this particular brew ever since he was 12 when his grandfather introduced him to it.

Garner made the decision to legally change his middle name to Yorkshire Tea in August, after his friend made an off-the-cuff remark about his zest for the brand.

"I was at work one day and my mate Billy said, 'Chuffin' hell, you drink so much of that stuff you should change your name to Yorkshire Tea,' Garner recounted to Express. "I thought that was a great idea so at lunch I got out my phone and went onto the website and got rid of Derek."

And that's exactly what Garner did.

Thrilled, Yorkshire Tea is hopping to have Garner to their headquarters in the future for a tea tasting, Yorkshire Tea's senior brand manager Laura Burton told Munchies.

"When Nathan got in touch to let us know that he had changed his middle name to 'Yorkshire Tea' we were beyond flattered by his overwhelming love for a proper brew," said Burton.
