Thompson's Tea has been blending and packing tea in Belfast since 1896. The founder trained in the art of tea tasting in a warehouse near the Belfast docks - the same docks that overlooked the construction of the Titanic. Thompson's is proud to have provided the tea that helped fuel many of the workers who built the legendary ship. Over 100 years later, this special blend was created to commemorate that era - the finest Assam leaves picked during the peak quality months and vacuum packed at source to lock in their flavour, paired with Kenyan leaves sourced solely from East of the Rift Valley, where Kenya's most prestigious estates are found.
Rich, luxurious, and full-bodied with the depth and distinction you'd expect from a commemorative blend. The vacuum packing of the Assam leaves is what sets it apart - that extra step preserves a freshness and complexity that most teabag teas can't match. A genuinely special cup from a company with a genuinely special story.
