Originally known as Marta Skowronska, her life began with immense hardship. Empress Catherine I accompanied the Tsar Peter the Great on military campaigns, demonstrating remarkable resilience and strength.
After Peter's death, she became the first woman to rule the Russian Empire, founding the Russian Academy of Sciences and continuing the majestic vision of her husband.
This Set tells a real-life Cinderella story, one where the heroine earns her crown through intelligence, charisma and unwavering fortitude.
Like Empress Chaterine, the tea should also be robust yet sophisticated, with warming, generous character. For this, we recommend a Smoked Baltic Black Tea or a Honeyed Rooisbois, with its smooth, soothing and naturally sweet characteristics.
To brew a cup from this set is to taste a story of transformation, a reminder that great strength often stems from the humblest beginnings.
