Jolly Good Tea

Harrison’s & Crosfield® Ltd. have introduced a seasonal rendition of their fine teas -- ready to ship for holiday orders. The Christmas Tea is a jolly blend of premium black teas with aromatic orange peel, almonds, spicy cinnamon and luscious marzipan. Just the thing to cozy up with on a chilly winters’ night.
What do I like about it? As a gift basket designer, I like the size and packaging. The larger tin is a good “bulk” component that will fill a good amount of space, and serve as a focal point that can establish the seasonal theme. The smaller cube is less expensive and can fit into smaller budget baskets. Again, this one seasonal product can set the Christmas theme, and that will allow you to use standard inventory to fill the remainder of the basket. Best of all, this is a tea that smells so good you can close your eyes and believe it is already Christmas morning.
The red and gold packaging, with its enchanting winter scene, is designed to evoke warm memories of holidays gone by. It is available in three different packages:
(1) Individually wrapped tagged tea bags in clear cube
(2) English style tea bags in an elegant gold and red caddy
(3) Loose leaf tea in a 4.41 ounce starry night gold and red caddy.
Each tea bag contains the necessary amount of tea to brew a “proper” cup of tea -- 25% more than the average tea bag.Harrisons & Crosfield’s London master tea buyers and blenders have over 30 years experience in the art of tea tasting, blending and buying.
