We always order the Fortnum's Christmas tea and this year it was exceptionally good! Black tea enchanted with star anise, whole cloves, safflower petals and mulled wine flavourings. The smell is absolutely intoxicating and the taste is ever so festive. I repetitively open the canister just to enjoy the wonderful heady smell that wafts out from it.
If there was ever a need for a photograph to have smell-o-vision this would be it. The radiant orange safflower petals gently resting... the sturdy cloves nestled about and the aromatic star anise hang loosely all amongst the black tea. Warming and refreshing with every cup this tea will help us through the winter months.
Hope everyone is having a good start to the New Year. - JD
