A five-tea gift set will be on the market in November. The Republic of Tea has made a big commitment to this Downton Abbey line. They already have two herbal blends: Lady Cora and English Rose, as well as four black tea offerings: Butler’s Pantry, Mrs. Patmore’s Pudding Tea, Bates’ Brambleberry and Grantham Breakfast Blend. The Republic of Tea was founded in 1992 and has earned wide distribution of its sizeable tea collection. They often develop specialty tea lines honoring books, films or charitable organizations.
