400 years ago, English merchant adventurers were drawn to the enticing promise of The East and travelled to India, Burma, Malaya, Java, Indo-China and onwards to the undiscovered hinterland of Cathay, bringing home treasures of every kind.
Londoners were captivated by the exotic plants and beasts, porcelain and rubies, and most especially strange and wonderful new foods and drinks. Today, The East India Company continues this tradition by offering fine Eastern discoveries, along with ‘select temptations’ from the West.
On entering its flagship store situated in Mayfair, you drift miles away from the hustle and bustle of Regent Street, Bond Street, and Piccadilly Circus, and awaken surrounded by spice and warmth, arrived in a new world of luxurious goods.
Filled delicately from floor to ceiling with chutneys, teas, biscuits, chocolates, coffees and more, the beautifully true to its origin, opulently decorated store, encourages you to explore your senses, try new and exciting flavours, and indulge.
If you are seeking to spoil a loved one this Christmas (or yourself), are unsure of what gift to give that tricky someone, or searching for something with a difference (i.e. not socks), The East India Company offers gifts that will surprise and delight in their range of exquisite Christmas Trunks, Hampers, and Gift Boxes. There are over 30 delectable gifts to choose from, so you can fill your trunks with the world’s finest flavours at prices to suit all purses.
For tea like you have never before tasted, mustards you absolutely must know the ingredients of, sauces with a bite, biscuits with a kick, coffee beans enrobed in chocolate, or curious spices you deem mandatory for your cupboards, The East India Company provides.
So feast your eyes, ravish your appetite, and discover The East India Company.
