Description

First blended in the 1930s and named after Scotland's historic capital, this is a light and refreshing tea, which has become Brodies signature blend.

This tea has a clean, golden character and a lively, coppery colour. It is light enough to enjoy all day, yet full enough to take a splash of milk.

As loose leaf, the tea has room to infuse in the pot, so you can brew it exactly as strong as you like. It's delicious with a Scottish treat, such as our all butter shortbread.

The tea is presented in a beautifully embossed, gold-toned tin with an ornate thistle design. It keeps the tea fresh on the shelf and, once empty, makes an elegant caddy to refill again and again. A thoughtful present for any tea lover.

Our story

An Edinburgh classic since the 1930s

Brodies was founded by three Scottish tea merchants in 1867. In the 1930s, our blenders introduced Famous Edinburgh, a blend that has stood the test of time for nearly a century and is recognised as our signature blend.

The balance
Its secret lies in the balance. It makes a cup that has a bright, clean flavour and golden colour, as well as real strength.
Loose leaf
This loose leaf edition is the traditional way to enjoy it. Long before tea bags became common, Famous Edinburgh was measured from a caddy into a warmed pot, and this gift tin is our tribute to that ritual.
