Christmas Banquet Tea by Fortnum & Mason

The Christmas basket includes this lovely Christmas tea of black tea, star anise, cloves, safflower petals and mulled wine flavouring combined to create this exquisite tasting tea. I am drinking it in anticipation of the holiday. I have half a tin left from last year and saved it for this year. Tea has a shelf life of a maximum of two years.

It just has a lovely taste and aroma with just a hint of spices so one appreciated the base, which is a black tea. I just have the tea plain and it pairs well with holiday fare or on its own.

Fortnum & Mason A Tea Tradition

Fortnum & Mason has been a world tradition since 1707. Although located at 181 Piccadilly in London, England it is well known for their Royal seals of approval on their products. On arrival of any Fortnum & Mason products one knows the quality comes with the brand tradition. It has supplied the goods for the Napoleonic Wars, safaris as well as gift packages.

My love is for the specialty picnic baskets and teas, which they still supply and ship worldwide.
Here is my basket-note the signature blue ribbon.

It is an early Christmas-
