Hi!
For those who have tried Fortnum & Mason teas, would you recommend buying them ( especially the tea bags) ? I heard mixed reviews in terms of quality and that it was generally overpriced.
My mother loves the blends Fortnum and Mason offers. Sadly, they temporarily won't ship to countries, which are EU members. Is there an alternative to get the blends?
Hello Atlanta!
I need to send someone a gift and I'd like to know what the Atlanta equivalent of Fortnum & Mason or Berry Bros is in Atlanta. Can someone guide me please?
Thanks in advance!

If I'm going to consume all of those delicious, sugary calories, I want them to be worth it!
Any recommendations? Bonus points if it can be delivered.
I like flavored teas now and then, like Earl Gray or jasmine or lychee, and I drink loose-leaf teas only. I know flavored tea isn't usually top-quality, but I've had enough nice experiences that I know what good flavored tea should be like: you get the strong and obvious top-notes of the added flavor, and it harmonizes nicely with the bright and robust tea flavors underneath.
I hadn't tried Fortnum & Mason tea before, but Williams-Sonoma had a sale recently, so I got a box of their black tea with lemon. The package smelled great on the shelf in my kitchen for a couple hours after I took the shrink-wrap off the box, but maybe the packaging is not too good, because I think I'd rather have a bag of Bigelow Lemon Lift than this flat-tasting brew. There's a little bit of dried-lemon flavor, but not much depth to the flavor of the tea itself, and the leaves are actually quite small and fragmented-looking (a lot of it went through my infuser). This is a key product of the famed British dry-goods shop? I'm astonished.
Has anyone else had unremarkable products from this label? Or did I maybe get an old or defective product? What F&M teas *are* actually worth drinking?
Hello, /r/tea!
I've been doing a lot of research every time I come closer to emptying my FM can of Yunnan tea for a taste-equivalent tea that's not FM. I've visited the local distributor of FM but they didn't have Yunnan specifically (KaDeWe Berlin) and I am reluctant to pay that much for shipping from the UK.
I've been visiting local Berlin teashops to buy samples of what I thought were similar variants, but they all ended up wildly far away from what I'm looking for. I look for the gold-tipped dried leaves of the longer variety. I wish their website described what it was more specifically so I could search with less guesswork
I'm not the most experienced tea person, so I'd be grateful for a recommendation from this sub to either an Asian distributor or an EU shipping friendly website!
Thanks in advance!
