Signature Tea Caddies

Each blend is crafted to have its own unique East India Company signature – rediscover favourites such as our Staunton Earl Grey and Royal Breakfast, and journey into gunpowder, jasmines, and mint.

CordialsThe East India Company’s officers returned to Britain with stories of exotic drinks and flavours. One such recipe was the Hindi word ‘Paanch’, meaning ‘five’, and referred to a drink made of five ingredients: water, fruit, tea, sugar and alcohol. The recipe would enter the English language as ‘punch’ and our favourite summer elixir used to escape the heat, or a winter warmer to keep the cold at bay. To pay homage to this heritage we have introduced a range of

cordials perfect for punches, iced teas, or evening cocktails.

Accustomed to fine British fruits and the traditions of conserve and jam-making at home, the possibilities of eastern spices soon caught the British attention in the East. Ginger (a favourite spice) went famously with rhubarb. Strawberry jam blossomed if you added a tweak of pepper or champagne. And the ultimate in luxury was Fine Cut Marmalade with Gold Leaf, served when the Maharajah came to breakfast. Visit us online to view our extended range of preserves and condiments.
