Newby Teas

Legend has it that tea was first brewed by accident, in China in 2737 BC. As Emperor Shen Nung sat beneath a Camellia Sinensis tree, some leaves happened to fall into his boiling drinking water.

Our favorite luxury London-based tea connoisseurs Newby Tea has launched their glamorous 2023 advent calendar named the Tea Palace. 

It features regal hues of purple and gold and the design takes inspiration from India – specifically the grandeur of Rajasthani palaces and houses 24 varieties of luxury tea. Tea bags include classics such as Assam, Darjeeling and English Breakfast, and tempting discoveries like Ginseng Oolong, Moroccan Mint, Jasmine Blossom and Oriental Sencha. 

Beneath the 24 tea bag drawers are samples of Newby’s exquisite loose-leaf teas – Vanilla Classic, Masala Chai and Indian Breakfast – which serve as the ideal introduction to Newby’s extensive loose-leaf range this holiday season.
