The Story Behind the HRP Collection

With our sachet tins currently on sale 20% OFF, we thought it would be a good time to dive into the story behind our HRP Collection and all its royal connections.

“HRP” stands for Historic Royal Palaces, an independent charity established by the British government in 1989 in order to care for five royal palaces. HRP later became an independent charity, and in 2014 took over the management of Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland in addition to the five palaces. With a theme of “We create space for spirits to stir and be stirred,” HRP states that they have a charitable duty to help everyone learn about the sites in their care. The history of the palaces span almost 1,000 years, and you can imagine the complex and rich history to be discovered in each.

Banqueting House

Two of Banqueting House’s most well-known attributes are the Ruben’s ceiling masterpiece, and that it was the site of King Charles I’s execution. Charles I had commissioned the ceiling to be painted by Flemish artist Sir Peter Paul Rubens. That epic ceiling is one of the last things the king saw before his execution outside the Banqueting Hall in 1649. We’re guessing he barely noticed.

Hampton Court Palace

Most famously known as the home of King Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace features the magnificent Great Hall where you can easily envision the famously lavish king holding court. The impressive Tudor Kitchens were the largest of Tudor England, with 200 servants and kitchen staff working to prepare 800 meals a day for the entire court. It is said that 1.3 million logs were burned in the kitchen every year to feed the constant fires required to cook all day long.

Hillsborough Castle and Gardens

Over 100 stunning gardens grace the grounds of Northern Ireland’s only royal residence of the royal family. It is still used by the family from time to time, as well as by prominent international visitors.

A Few of Our Crown Jewels

Our founder, John Harney, was asked by HRP if he was interested in the licensing rights to market teas for these historic British palaces and thereby helping to support HRP’s work. We decided to create a new, octagon-shaped tin for this line of teas, and those Crown Jewels were the inspiration for the bright, jewel-toned tin colors, or “colours” as the Brits would spell it. We have become the largest licensor for Historic Royal Palaces, and we are proud to support an institution that is helping maintain and provide access to such important historic sites.
