Introducing our exclusive tea collection in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. We've paired our Artisan Flowering Tea Bulbs with a captivating oil portrait of Queen Charlotte, carefully chosen from the Gallery’s collection. This limited-edition set is the perfect seasonal gift, blending history, artistry, and a unique tea experience.
Queen Charlotte, who served as Queen Consort from 1761 until her passing in 1818, was deeply admired for her warm nature, intellect, and patronage of the arts. She and King George III had fifteen children, including two future kings, and her influence extended far beyond the royal court. A passionate botanist, Queen Charlotte played a significant role in developing Kew Gardens into a world-renowned botanical haven. Additionally, her festive spirit introduced Britain to the Christmas tree tradition in 1800, adorning a tree for a children's celebration at Windsor—a tradition that endures to this day. This special collection invites you to savour both fine tea and a piece of royal history.
This tea offers an intensely floral aroma and clear yellowish infusion. A delicate and soothing cup with osmanthus, jasmine and rose notes with clean floral mouthfeel.
Green tea, jasmine flowers, rose buds, marigold petals, osmanthus lilly flowers, chysanthemum and roselle.
Region
Fujian, China
Fujian, a coastal province of southeastern China, faces the Taiwan Strait and is predominantly mountainous, covered in dense forests. The elevation spans from sea level to 2,174m at Mount Huanggang’s peak in the Wuyi Mountains, providing a natural barrier and a spectacular backdrop for tea cultivation. The province experiences a temperate humid subtropical climate with hot, rainy summers and cool, dryer winters, occasionally snowy in higher altitudes.
This climate, coupled with the province’s complex topography, supports a rich tapestry of vegetation and wildlife, creating an ideal setting for producing a variety of teas including Jasmine Green, Tie Guan Yin, Oolong, and smoked teas. Fujian is renowned for its rich, fertile soils and diverse flora at lower elevations, which include evergreens, hardwood trees, and a plethora of bird, amphibian, and reptile species. The higher elevations nurture deciduous trees and rhododendrons. The distinct teas such as those from the Wuyi Mountains and the white teas from the elevated, lush Fuding and Zhenghe counties are celebrated worldwide, making Fujian a critical and vibrant player in the global tea market.
