Forest Brews Tea Company
Our finest FBOP in a hand-sealed brass-accent tin — the gifting choice for festivals, weddings, and corporate hampers.
The Heritage Gift Tin holds 200g of FBOP Select — the same leaf as our standard FBOP but drawn from the first two flushes of the year and sorted to a cleaner, more uniform grade. The difference is subtle in the cup but meaningful to a tea drinker: slightly higher aroma, a finer body.
The tin itself is printed with our Kaircombai estate artwork, sealed with a foil layer, and wrapped in recycled tissue. It ships without a price sticker, making it suitable for corporate gifting to clients in India, Singapore, and the Gulf.
We ship gift tins to Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar, and the UAE regularly. For bulk corporate orders of 12 tins or more, WhatsApp us for custom branding options on the sleeve.

Gifted 10 tins for Pongal — every recipient loved them
I ordered 10 gift tins for Pongal gifts to colleagues at work here in Singapore. The packaging arrived pristine, the tins are genuinely beautiful (not cheap like most "gift" packaging), and the tea inside is exceptional. My colleagues from Tamil Nadu were especially emotional about it.
The only corporate gift that people actually kept
We gave these as Diwali gifts to 15 key clients. Three of them ordered directly from Forest Brews within the same week. The tin lives on desks, not in drawers — that's how you know the gift worked.
