Company location: Piccadilly, London
Fortnum and Mason’s blend gives off the smell of a generic black tea at first sniff with no real indication that you are having an earl grey over an english breakfast tea. With the first sip your thoughts are confirmed with a very thick black tea taste. It's not all bad because the blend packs in a drop of bergamont taste at the end of the sip that makes it all better. Fortnum and Mason have been making this tea a long time and as with other long standing greys, those that have the heritage tend to have more of a black tea taste. Guess it comes with the age. It's a tea to wake you up on the morning or provide you a kick to fight the drowsiness leading up to afternoon tea time.
Fortnum and Mason's icon shop in Picadilly London features a few greys including a smoky grey, green earl grey, organic earl grey, and countless grey. They also have a tea smelling (dare I say wafting) area where you can get the aroma of 20+ blends. Fight your way through the tourists buying their quintessential British souvenir tea packs to feel a bit royal checking out the fanciest teas around.
