Fortnum and Mason teas and other deliciousness

Which ones do you like the best and why. Are they similar to any other supermarket teas?

I've only tried the Breakfast, and Royal blend and preferred the Royal one. The breakfast tea, like other breakfast teas, was very light in flavour. The Royal blend was more like regular tea. I buy Waitrose Gold and it was close to these but with that extra something that made it taste much nicer.

I'd like to try more of their teas and get into loose tea but live up North so I can't just call in and pick some up regularly. I'd like to try the Irish Breakfast (I imagine it's got more oomph than English breakfast), the Rose Pouchong, and Queen Anne. The infusion teas sound amazing but I'm not into scented type tea. I love tins so they appeal to me a great deal.

Please share your favourite F&M teas with me to help me decide what to try next. Feel free to discuss biscuits too and any other delights they sell. I loved their salted caramel chocolate biscuits in the hot air balloon cylindrical box. I like the chocolate library bars-champagne, and raspberry are amazing.

I'm a big Fortnum and Mason tea fan! I love their smoky earl grey and also the Countess Grey (like Twinings Lady Grey, but better). I'm also currently enjoying their Lemon Curd green tea which is wonderful. Biscuit-wise, you can't beat their Gingerlossus.

My absolute favourite is Afternoon Blend, brewed quite strong with milk. It's their best black tea imo.

I also like Green Tea with Elderflower.

I keep Rose Pouchong at home for guests (two of my friends love it). Also the Peach black tea, I can't remember what it's called.

Dh gave me the F+M tea advent calendar this recent December and it was Amazing, made me so happy everyday.

I bought the recent coronation tea which has coconut and pineapple or something like that - the tin was gorgeous but I wasn't fussed by the tea.

Ps you can get a black tea selection box - I got this in lockdown, my dh sometimes brought me breakfast in bed (I was pg) and I'd do a blind taste test- that's how I decided Afternoon Blend is the best! And that I dislike Royal Blend.

Wasn't much else to do in lockdown lol

I have the English Breakfast tea - classic but not too excited.
In other news I'm nearly out of Piccadilly Piccalilli which is amazing.

I want to buy all the tea now.
