Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600, the East India Company was founded to explore the mysteries of the East. Over 400 years later, the luxury company that first introduced tea to Britain and spices to the West Indies is still a gourmet trendsetter. From finely flavoured teas to chocolate-enrobed fruit, the East India Company’s exotic and unique flavour combinations continue to bring together the best of the East and West.
