THE EAST INDIA COMPANY LTD

Apr 29th, 2023

Ah, the once almighty East India company reduced to a mere luxury tea shop. But don't be fooled, it's simply a disguise. There's nothing "luxury" about their products aside from the price. We unfortunately fell for this tourist trap, and bought quite a lot of their tea and cookies that are inferior to even the supermarket's own value brands. Their tea is mediocre at best, and biscuits taste like uncooked flours pressed together. Do yourself a favour and let this sink into history where it belongs.

Best Earl Grey tea ever is the Staunton Earl Grey Tea - the aroma is enough to intoxicate let alone the taste - its the natural neroli oil and bergamot oil, both citrus fruits. When I used to live in London a few years back, I would buy this in loose leaf form and transport it in sealable bags for my siblings in Adelaide when I visited - they all loved it so much. I had a lovely visit recently & was able to sample a few of their biscuits for the first time - they were so generous too. The Butter Galettes were simple & very moreish, 12 Spices were delicious & quite like Dutch Speculaas, & Ginger Nut were good too. I fell in love with their exquisite tea cups with lids (see photo) They were about 500 each though, being platinum & rose gold plated well above my budget
