The Basilur Tea Book Volume V caddy holds 100g of pure Ceylon black leaf tea flavoured with marzipan and containing natural wolfberries and safflowers — a loose-leaf blend produced and packed in Sri Lanka, presented in one of Basilur's signature book-shaped metal tins finished in red and gold.
The tea itself is a loose-leaf Ceylon black tea, sourced and blended in Sri Lanka and carrying the Sri Lanka Tea Board's lion mark on its packaging. The marzipan flavour is the defining character of the blend, accompanied by the visual texture of whole wolfberries and safflower petals woven through the leaf. Basilur recommends drinking it straight, without milk, and describes it as suited to any time of day — morning cup or evening wind-down alike.
The 100g of loose-leaf tea is first sealed inside a foil pouch with a zipper lock, which keeps the leaf fresh and allows the tin to be reused once the tea is finished. That tin is the other half of the story: a rigid metal caddy engineered to resemble a hardback book, with a gold spine printed vertically with 'Basilur' and 'V Volume Tea Book', and a deep red front panel bearing the brand crest. It sits on a shelf the way a book does.
The Tea Book format spans at least five volumes, each in a distinct coloured tin, making Volume V a coherent addition to the series for anyone collecting the range. Basilur positions this particular volume within its festive gifting collection, and the caddy's construction — the weight of the tin, the gold detailing, the spine lettering — does translate well as a standalone gift object rather than simply a tea container.
Because marzipan flavour is almond-derived, anyone with a nut allergy should check the full ingredient declaration printed on the packaging before purchasing. The back panel of the tin carries the complete ingredient and lot information alongside a QR code and barcode for traceability.
