Britain is now one of world's biggest tea drinking nations but when the East India first presented tea to King Charles II in the early 17th century, taxation was so heavy that these fragrant leaves were kept under lock and key! Thankfully it is much easier to gift someone the simple and joyous pleasure of tea today.
 
This hamper contains loose leaf Dorset Tea in a keepsake tin with infuser for that ritualistic lush cup of tea for one. For work, or in a hurry, there are also teabags from Miles. It wouldn't be tea without biscuits so included is a traditional logo gift tin from Moores, who have been making shortbread in Dorset for generations.
