The Seventh Duchess luxury loose leaf tea

Always a sucker for good packaging design and Australian-made goodies, I have another gorgeous product to add to the pantry - luxury loose leaf tea from The Seventh Duchess. The WA-based team behind this lovely brand have created a beautiful visual statement to represent the luxury and romance of their tea.

The Seventh Duchess tea is named after Anna Russell, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford, confidant of Queen Victoria, and a socialite of the highest inner circles in the early 19th century. It is said that the Duchess invented the ritual of afternoon tea, sharing with her friends different tea blends acquired from the Far East, as well as their origin, and different brewing techniques.

The Seventh Duchess range of quality tea tisanes and drinking chocolate contain no artificial colours or flavours. The team offers bespoke services, customising tins for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, events and corporate gifts. I'm besotted.

You can find The Seventh Duchess in the online store as well as stockists across Australia.
