When opened the Tea Chest reveals a Boxwood edging and two separate Tea Caddies. The Tea Caddies with Tulipwood crossbanding borders inlaid with the letters B for Black Tea and G for Green with red pinstriping.

Harewood is a type of sycamore maple which has been stained and treated to take the natural cream colour to a rich brown.
Boxwood can be found in Europe, Northwest Africa and Southwest Asia. It is a light cream that turns darker to brown when exposed to light. The trees are very small, which is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers.
Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is a warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain.
The Georgian era was a period in British history dating from 1714-1837, the Georgian era after the Hanoverian kings George I, George II, George III and George IV.
