Retro note — a product style is usually unique to the period when it was made. However, some products, like this one, are inspired by an earlier style or even by several styles. So in that case they have a Retro or Traditional style. You would find some such products from the 1930s onward, but mostly after the 1970s.
Facts of Lavish Cool history — tax on tea was so high in the 18th century Britain, that smuggling was a common practice. By 1780 most of the tea consumed was illegally imported.
