Description
This octagonal metal tea caddy wears an English Breakfast design inspired by old-fashioned tea packaging, giving your daily brew a handsome home on the worktop. The body is printed in a soft turquoise with navy blue flourishes and fine gold dotted borders, framing a cream oval label that reads English Breakfast Tea in bold navy lettering, with Full flavoured Assam blend and Black Tea beneath. The lid and rims are a warm gold, and the eight-sided shape gives it a pleasing, traditional look from every angle. Made from tinplate, it measures 10.4cm wide, 10.4cm deep and 10.4cm tall, and sits comfortably on a shelf or in a cupboard.
We think it belongs in the kitchen, beside the kettle or on an open shelf where its colours can be enjoyed, though it looks just as at home on a dresser, in a pantry or on a tea tray in the sitting room. At 10.4cm in each direction it takes up little room on a busy worktop yet is easy to spot when the morning cup is calling. Fill it with your favourite tea and it becomes part of the daily routine, while its vintage-style print brings a touch of the old corner shop to a modern kitchen.
Inside, an inner sealing lid with a small knob sits beneath the gold outer lid, helping to protect the caddy's contents and maintain their freshness between cups. Lift the outer lid, then the inner one by its knob, and your tea is ready to spoon out. Hand wash only, as it is not dishwasher safe; wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly before refilling. For a thoughtful present, fill it with a favourite blend and tie a ribbon around the lid, or group it with a teapot and cups on an open shelf for a cheerful tea corner.
