Wedding Imperial Tin, 100g

Not every occasion needs champagne.

Wedding Imperial gathers rare Chinese and Indian black teas into a ceremonial bouquet — delicate, refined, celebratory without announcing itself — from a Paris house whose archives hold more than eight hundred blends. One hundred grams of loose leaf, in a tin that stays on the shelf long after the tea is gone.

For the friend entering a new chapter, and the evenings that mark it.
