McVitie's
These are the biscuits people expect to find next to the teapot, so we stock the tin staples: Digestives plain, milk and dark chocolate, Hobnobs including the gluten-free pair, Rich Tea, Jaffa Cakes, Penguin and Club, Ginger Nuts, Fig Rolls and the Signature rounds. It is the everyday tin rather than the guest tin, from an Edinburgh name that goes back to 1830.

About McVitie's
McVitie's traces its start to a bakery shop opened on Rose Street, Edinburgh, in 1830. It became McVitie and Price after Charles Edward Price joined as a partner in 1888, and in 1892 Alexander Grant, a young baker at the firm, created McVitie's Digestive. The Chocolate Digestive followed in 1925. McVitie and Price merged with Macfarlane, Lang and Co in 1948 to form United Biscuits, and the brand is now owned by pladis.
This is the everyday tin, not the guest tin. A plain or chocolate digestive is built for dunking and wants a strong, malty brew behind it, an Assam or a breakfast blend with milk. Rich Tea is for the milder cup and a quick dunk; keep a Ginger Nut for a smoky Lapsang or a black coffee.
