If you ever find yourself strolling Piccadilly in London, you must do yourself a favor and stop at the historic Fortnum & Mason. On a visit several months ago, I had the opportunity to explore the establishment and sample more tea and confections than I could have ever dreamed of. After all of the exploration, I purchased their Infusions Orange & Grapefruit Tea. I am a huge fan of all tea and this one sounded way too good to pass up. I finally had a chance to sit down and try the tea recently.

I found the tea to be beautifully complex. The orange and grapefruit flavors combined with the hibiscus base come together to form an original taste unlike any tea I have ever tried before. For an even more delightful experience, I added a teaspoon of organic, local honey which sweetened the deal. The tea makes for a wonderful breakfast companion or an afternoon snack coupled with some cookies (or biscuits, as the British would call them). I wish I had space in my luggage to purchase more varieties of Fortnum & Mason tea; for now, this lovely variety will satisfy.
