Our Product Story
The ingenious Raj Teapot saw service on the 1902 Bombay to London P&O line voyages and has been more or less in production ever since. The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company knew the value of a stackable service, tea hot, milk warm, sugar at the ready. Our rendition, beautifully crafted in antique silver plate over brass, is virtually unchanged.
Big black leaves with golden tips, full bodied and distinctive, this native (enjoyed since antiquity) tea was first "discovered" in 1823 by Robert Bruce in the hills of Rangpur then the capital of Assam, India. The Brits cultivated it in the 19th century, revolutionizing tea drinking. The finest quality of Assam, organically grown, naturally caffeinated.
Tradition updated, heritage maintained. Our refined dimension Chennai set is crafted of translucent washed chocolate glass fitted with clean comfortable handles.
