The Republic of Tea, leading purveyor of premium teas, is proud to announce its new Downton Christmas Tea and Downton Abbey gift set are now available at Cost Plus World Market locations nationwide. These new additions join three of the popular Downton Abbey inspired teas, English Rose, Grantham Breakfast, and Downton Estate, already available for purchase at Cost Plus World Market stores.

Downton Abbey is home to the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. The first two seasons follow their lives from the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 through the First World War while the later seasons follow them into the early 1920s. Season 4 provided the highest-rated drama premiere in PBS history and has been watched by 120 million people around the world to date. The season five premiere is set to air on PBS in the U.S. on January 5th, 2015.

The Republic of Tea's line of Downton Abbey inspired teas can be served hot or over a tall glass of ice:
