Unrivalled Heritage

Signature Teas. Available as loose leaf tea, tea bag sachets, fine pyramid tea bags and gift packs.

The tale of tea and The East India Company are deeply intertwined. First introduced by The Company to Britain as a gift to King Charles II in 1664, tea soon became an inseparable part of British culture. In 1848, the company sent botanist Robert Fortune to bring tea seedlings from China to India, establishing the first tea plantation in Darjeeling. Plantations in Assam, and other countries including Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) soon followed.

Today, we build on this legacy whilst creating a new chapter for the modern world. With the same spirit, we seek to discover the best the world has to offer and fuse cultures and history to pioneer new flavour combinations. It’s what makes every product unique and precious.
