Slow down with a tea and mug duo designed for quiet moments.
Sweet and fragrant, our Earl Grey blend combines Sri Lankan black leaf tea with refreshing citrus notes and a hint of floral and cornflower.
The tea comes in a keepsake caddy designed with a Morris and Co. pattern created in 1912 by J. H. Dearle.
It adds colour to any shelf and stays useful long after the last scoop of tea.
The coordinated fine bone china mug is made in Stoke-on-Trent exclusively for the V&A and carries a design adapted from the Oak Tree pattern by the same artist from 1896.
A perfect ready-made gift for anyone who enjoys beauty and a warm cup in hand.
Please note this is a bone china product and delivery restrictions apply.

John Henry Dearle
John Henry Dearle was trained as a tapestry weaver by William Morris and by 1890 had become Morris & Company's chief textile designer.
