Paddington Bear Suitcase Tin With Shortbread Biscuits & English Breakfast Teabags - 275g

Shortbread and a cup of English breakfast tea are about as British as an afternoon gets. Put them in the hands of a bear from darkest Peru who found a home in London, and you have a tin that says Britain without needing to say anything at all.

Most people looking for this one in Canada are looking for someone else: a grandchild being read the books, a friend who grew up with the bear, or a parent who still gives a hard stare when the teapot is left to stew. Some keep it for themselves, and nobody needs to know.

It is 275g in total, biscuits and teabags together, all inside the suitcase tin with its lid. Keep the lid on and it sits happily in the cupboard until a proper sit-down is called for. The teabags go in the pot or straight in the mug, whichever side of that argument you are on.

People tend to pair it with a jar of marmalade, because he would insist, and a few more British biscuits for when the shortbread has mysteriously gone. A spare box of tea never hurts either.
