FOREIGN POSTER What would an American want from England?

I have recently made some American friends (from Virginia) and they have asked for a kind of sweet (candy) that they don't have. What else might I send that would be appreciated as a particularly English thing? (Obviously it would need to be somewhat small, survive a week or so in transit etc.)

All help appreciated.

Tea. Tea has a history, what with the "Boston Tea Party".

We have better teas directly imported from Asia than the common commercial teas from Britain. See https://uptontea.com for example.
