Description
This commemorative Lakeland Special Tea Caddy celebrates our 200th Anniversary, 1819–2019 and honours two centuries of tea blending in the Lake District. Inside is our most beloved tea: Lakeland Special, a strong and uplifting black tea with a distinctive deep amber colour.
This signature blend is crafted from carefully selected Ceylon teas. It is made using our long-kept secret recipe, perfected to suit the naturally soft Lakeland water. The result is a refreshing, full-flavoured brew that has remained a customer favourite for generations. The fine cut of the leaves allows for a quick steep, releasing a bold yet balanced flavour with ease.
Lakeland Special is smooth, invigorating and ideal for drinking at any time of day. It works beautifully with or without milk, making it a reliable everyday tea. The liquor is clear, bright and deeply satisfying, offering a classic taste that appeals to both long-time tea lovers and new drinkers.
To brew, use two teaspoons of leaves and infuse in freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes. Shorter steeps create a lighter cup, while longer infusions develop a stronger, richer profile.
Each caddy contains 100g of loose leaf tea and is designed to keep the blend fresh, fragrant and ready to enjoy. It also makes a thoughtful keepsake or gift for anyone who appreciates heritage, excellent flavour and timeless Lakeland charm.
Lakeland Special remains the heart of Farrer’s — a true celebration of quality and tradition.
