Behind the Craft - Platinum Jubilee Tea

Handmade in Sri Lanka by village craftsmen who still forge metals following century-long artisanal traditions. Engraved with HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II PLATINUM JUBILEE 1952 – 2022 on the front and The East Company on the reverse.

Featuring a story book illustrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s connections to her beloved Sri Lanka, where, just five months after her coronation and accompanied by her husband, The Duke of Edinburgh, she engaged in a royal visit as part of her first world tour.

For the ultimate celebration, the silver plated caddy is filled with beautifully crafted Platinum Blend Black Loose Leaf Tea.
