She’ll be six feet steep.

A tea lover from the United Kingdom arranged for her final resting place to be a coffin designed as a box of her favorite brand, according to a report.

Tina Watson, 73, had her unusual last request fulfilled at her funeral Friday in Leicester when she was buried in a red Typhoo tea coffin, Metro UK reported.

Watson’s daughter said she gave specific instructions before her death from heart failure, objecting to a typical wooden coffin.

“I want to be buried in a coffin that looks like a giant box of tea bags,” the mom reportedly said.

The request was fitting for the tea enthusiast, who guzzled as many as 40 cups of tea a day, the outlet reported.

“It’s typical of mom,” her daughter Debs Donovan said. “She had a wicked sense of humor and drank about 30 or 40 cups of tea a day, every day.”

Guests watched as the custom coffin, which read “Typhoo: Great British Tea since 1903,” arrived in a hearse at the Gilroes Crematorium.

“I just know mom would be looking down and laughing like a drain at her coffin,” her daughter said.
