The Explorer's Hamper evokes the thrill of undiscovered tastes.

The East India Company’s elegant tea caddies capture an essence of tradition and history. In the Staunton Hamper, the Staunton Earl Grey uses both bergamot and Neroli oils faithful to the original orange blossom flowers used in early Chinese recipes. This full bodied and fragrant tea is truly one for those who enjoy an authentic earl grey flavour.
The tea is complemented well with the rich texture and tangy citrus flavour of the Seville Marmalade Biscuit. Also included in this stunning hamper is an elegant tea infuser and signature mug.
For cheese lovers, in the Admiral's Hamper there is the East India Company's Admiral’s Reserve Cheese Biscuits, a rich and creamy flavoursome digestive and English Stilton Thin Filled, delicious crunchy parcels filled lightly with cheese. They serve as the perfect accompaniment to the Onion and Sultana Marmalade or the fiery Bulldog Mustard.
All hampers can be purchased directly from the flagship East India Company store at 7-8 Conduit Street, London or alternatively from Harrods, Selfridges and Amazon.
