Fortnum & Mason Sachet Advent
I bought the sachet advent knowing that some of the teas would be the same as the ones I had last year in the advent with tins, which we also purchased the refill for this year. Buying the refills meant that you know which teas are when – no surprises – but you can choose to put them in the calendar in the order they were in the box or move them around a bit, which is what I did. Even last year, not everyone’s teas were in the same order, but they were close,
The first sachet is one I have had. It isn’t terrible but I would not buy it if I saw it in a store. My first thought on sipping it this morning was, “King Edward wasn’t very picky.”
More charitably, I will say it is an unspectacular British style breakfast tea, not as strong as a builder’s tea, but not very fancy. Decent Assam and Ceylon. It has a bit of a metallic taste and is easily drinkable without milk and sugar. It could also easily accommodate those if you like your tea that way. This is definitely a daily drinker to me and not very Royal.

That was so weird that the order was different last year lol.
Your first thought on sipping it made me crack up lol
King Edward had other things on his mind than tea.
I was sad to not be very impressed by any of Fortnum’s breakfast blends…
And this was also the first tea in their big advent this year! I did move a couple of teas around, but mostly kept the first ones in the order they arrived.
