The collection debuts in accordance with the highly anticipated release of the second season of Bridgerton, premiering March 25, 2022.
Shondaland’s Netflix series is based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling romance novels of the same name. Bridgerton follows the well-to-do Bridgerton family as they navigate Regency era English society full of gossip, drama, secrets and lies. The Republic of Tea’s five new great-tasting blends feature flavors and vibrant custom tin art inspired by series’ leading characters. The collection encompasses:
- Anthony & Kate Spiced Chai – This medley of exceptional black tea and warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and black pepper, steeps a rich and formidable cup. Best sipped when spirited scheming and taming wicked rogues are on the agenda. Prepare this chai the traditional method – accompanied by warm milk, a touch of honey and an abundance of irresistible passion.
- Duke & Duchess Honey Breakfast Tea – Pure, sweet honey tempers the boldness of strong black tea, paired with blackberry and vanilla flavors. Could there be a more perfect coupling? Sip this seductive infusion to ignite desire and, ultimately, devotion. Best taken with a big spoonful of warm milk.
- Featherington’s Blood Orange Mimosa Tea – These days, the modern young lady must display a miscellany of talents in her quest for a suitor, and the ladies of the Featherington household are no exception to this rule. This quest requires delightful refreshment in the form of this ruby-hued hibiscus tea laced with the essence of champagne and blood oranges. But will this be enough sustenance to fill a dance card? One can only speculate. Caffeine-free.
- Queen’s Cake Vanilla Fruit Tea – This diamond of an herbal tea is imbued with the flavors of a rich vanilla confection studded with sweet black currants and lemon. This cup meets the discerning approval of Queen Charlotte – the veritable tastemaker of London society. Sip like a royal and enjoy this decadent tea with no scandal and no remorse.
- Whistledown Punch Hibiscus Iced Tea – Is there a more perfect way to start event season than with a delectable, iced tea? A fashionable arrangement of exotic hibiscus blossoms with a mélange of citrus and pineapple steep a pleasing refreshment to sip while indulging in the latest gossip. Caffeine-free.
The Bridgerton Teas retail for $14.50/tin, a great value at 40 cents/cup. The Iced Tea will retail for $9.00/tin.
