One of the tea ranges, Taste of History, tells the story of different decorative styles of teapots and each blend harmonises with the design of the teapot.
For the tasting experience, Marks created nibbles from recipes which are adaptations of historical versions from the same year as the tea they have been paired with.

The colours and patterns used in the new teaware range, Daisy Tea Story, were inspired by the company's archive and combine elements of the company's signature Daisy print. The collection is available in selected shops as well as the company's website. Prices start at £30.
