A Royal Touch to Christmas Tradition

Few names are as synonymous with British preserves as Tiptree. For over a century, the Wilkin family has been capturing the taste of English orchards and hedgerows in their iconic glass jars, bringing a spoonful of heritage to breakfast tables around the world. This Christmas, the brand adds a touch of festive sparkle to its legacy with the launch of the Tiptree Treat for Santa — a beautifully presented gift set that celebrates both the magic of Christmas and the timeless quality of Tiptree craftsmanship.

From the Heart of Essex to the Breakfast Table

The story of Tiptree begins in the quiet village of the same name, nestled in the Essex countryside. Since the 1880s, Wilkin & Sons Ltd has been growing fruit on its own farms, handpicking strawberries, raspberries and quinces to create preserves that taste as fresh as the day they were picked. Unlike many modern producers, Tiptree continues to make its jams in small batches, in copper pans, using traditional methods that have barely changed in over 100 years.

This commitment to authenticity and quality has earned Tiptree a place in kitchens and hampers across the globe. Whether spread on warm toast, layered in cakes, or stirred into yoghurt, a spoonful of Tiptree brings with it a connection to English fields, family tradition and careful craft.

A Royal Brand

Tiptree has long held a place at royal tables, and this reinforces its reputation as a brand that represents the best of British produce. It is an achievement that blends heritage and modernity, reaffirming Tiptree’s standing as both a national treasure and a forward-looking food producer.

Tiptree Treat for Santa

At £6.49 for three jars, the Tiptree Treat for Santa captures the spirit of giving with charm and heritage. It is a reminder that the best festive traditions are often the simplest — a shared breakfast, a sweet treat, a thoughtful gift.

For those who treasure authentic flavours and timeless presentation, Tiptree offers not just preserves, but a piece of British history in every jar. The Tiptree Treat for Santa is available now via the Tiptree website (www.tiptree.com) and selected retailers. Stocks are limited due to high demand, so early purchase is recommended.
