It is said that the first Tea Roses arrived on ships of the East India Company, mainly dedicated to the transport of tea. Since a small part of their load was made up of this new breed of roses, it is possible that the smell of tea, combined with their unusual scent, suggested the expression "Rose Scented Tea", the roses with the scent of tea. This flower of extremely refined elegance is printed on a soft cotton sateen. Available in Twin, Queen and King sizes and in four colors, the Tea duvet cover is backed with silky plain cotton sateen in coordinating color and is neatly finished with a simple hem; buttons closure. Made in Italy.
