"Downton Abbey" Inspires New Tea Line

The Republic of Tea, leading purveyor of premium teas, is proud to announce the launch of its new Downton Abbey® inspired teas. Each of these all natural calorie-free, gluten-free teas are inspired by the award-winning TV series that has entranced millions of viewers and become a global phenomenon. The three delicious flavors are: English Rose Tea, Downton Estate Blend and Grantham Breakfast Blend.

Downton Abbey is home to the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. The first two seasons follow their lives from the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 through the First World War while the later seasons follow them into the early 1920s. The show saw record-breaking viewership for its third season and has been watched by 120 million people around the world to date

The Republic of Tea’s line of Downton Abbey inspired teas can be served hot or over a tall glass of ice:

English Rose Tea – This vibrant, ruby-red infusion of rose, raspberry and hibiscus has fruity, floral notes and a touch of sweetness. Inspired by traditional British desserts, this caffeine-free luscious tea is perfect for an afternoon treat.

Downton Estate Blend – Earl Grey black tea has become one of the most enjoyed flavored teas in the world. This classic traditional British tea with bergamot orange oil has been paired with exotic vanilla for an intriguing finish available exclusively at Cost Plus World Market.

Grantham Breakfast Blend – Full-bodied malty, organic Assam black tea is infused with the spicy flavor of organic ginger root. This energizing tea is perfect for preparing for the dramas of the day.

Each of these all natural premium teas are certified gluten free; Grantham Breakfast also is Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Each comes in colorful tins featuring beloved Downton Abbey characters and holds 36 round, unbleached tea bags free of tags, strings and staples.
