From Fortnum & Mason

A twist on the traditional bergamot-infused blend, Countess Grey is based on well-twisted orange pekoe teas, lifted by classic bergamot and a light orange flavour. Its light and delicate character makes it ideal for morning or afternoon drinking, when the spirits require a little reviving.

Taste and Strength
Light and bright with an aromatic orange flavour

When to Drink
Ideal in the morning or afternoon

Origin
China

Brewing Information
Use boiling water and brew for 3-5 minutes depending on taste. Drink black or with a little milk, or with a slice of orange or lemon

So good! The kind of tea that I would drink anytime. Very simple. I like the orange flavour, even when hot! I really don’t understand, I usually dislike the fruit flavours in hot plain teas but here, it’s very present but good nonetheless.

By the way, I bought this at London Heathrow. I was so excited when I first saw their tea room and then the tea shop! I didn’t know Fortnum and Mason had their own stores but it was so beautiful and fancy (whilst the prices were very much comparable to popular tea stores in Montreal). I even took pictures of the store, my boyfriend thought I was a bit weird haha.

Bought this after becoming addicted to Twining’s Lady Grey (with milk!). For whatever reason, I hate Twining’s Lady Grey without milk, but LOVE it with. It’s the opposite for F&M’s Countess Grey. I strongly prefer it without milk.

Annnyyywayyy. Super orange-y. Very bright and juicy. The black tea base is of good, but unremarkable quality.
