Description

Famous Edinburgh is one of our oldest and best-loved blends, created by our blenders in the 1930s. This keepsake drum holds the very same tea as our everyday box, presented in packaging worthy of a gift.

The blend has a clean, bright and refreshing character, along with a bright, coppery colour. The result is an easy-drinking black tea that's smooth enough to enjoy all day, with or without milk.

The drum is illustrated with a vibrant, watercolour-style view of Edinburgh Castle, a nod to our Edinburgh roots.

Inside are 50 generous 2.5g tea bags. Once the tea is finished, the drum makes a beautiful place to store loose tea, biscuits or keepsakes.

Our signature blend reflects Brodies long-standing heritage and connection to Scotland's historic capital.

Carefully crafted for generations, it delivers the quality, character and craftsmanship that have defined Brodies since 1867.

Our story

A blend named after Scotland's capital

Brodies of Edinburgh 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 more than 90 years and remains one of our most popular teas.

The balance
Its secret lies in the balance. This blend has a bright, clean flavour, with strength and a rich colour. This creates a cup that's refreshing rather than heavy, yet still full of flavour.
The drum
The drum pays tribute to the city that gave the blend its name.

Edinburgh Castle has stood above the city for centuries and is one of Scotland's most visited attractions. Read our story, or explore our full tea collection.
