Full Description
Gather around the fire for strange tales from the spice markets of ancient trade routes – this classic Whittard blend balances a smooth, full-flavoured black tea with aromatic cloves, zesty orange peel, sweet Madagascan vanilla and a scattering of yellow safflower petals.
We love this spiced tea on dark winter evenings, and it's also rather good served iced with plenty of fruit on hot summer days.

NO.16
NUMEROLOGY
Founded by a royal decree from Queen Elizabeth I in 1600, the East India Company was the largest importer of tea and spice during the British Imperial period. We’ve numbered this tea 16 to mark over four centuries of British tea drinking.
BLENDED
Ever since our founder Walter Whittard weighed out tea leaves behind his high mahogany counter, we've been experimenting with our own inventive blends. Today you'll find extraordinary creativity in our collection, from unique twists on classics like English Breakfast to more inventive blends laden with fruit and flowers.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
