Fortnum and Mason is the best
January 4, 2013
I had my first exposure to Fortnum and Mason tea on a plane, and was instantly hooked. I see many others have been as well. So it is amazing it isnt more available.
I was going to order some Earl Grey from Williams Sonoma, and was told it woulddnt be available for over 6 months! I am grateful I can get it at all in the States; however, from a business perspective, it seems strange not to stock it, given the desire for the product.
I know it comes in tea bags, as that is how it was served on the plane. Tea bags are so much more versatile. I see many people on this site are asking for tea in bags. I echo that plea.

Queen Anne and Royal Blend Teas
June 8, 2012
I have been drinking these two teas since 1993 when my American boss brought a tin of each for me when he visited London. At my tea parties my American friends all love Queen Anne. I would love to see Williams Sonoma carry this tea. The Royal Blend is a great tea too for morning or afternoon. I send to F&M once a year and order enough for myself and for gifts. Thank you W&S for carrying Fortnum and Mason teas.
Pros: Amount, Easy to Prepare, Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Decadent, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift

Desperately Need Queen Anne
May 1, 2012
All of Fortnum and Mason Teas are above and beyond; but I'm stuck on Queen Anne. For a while now, I have been buying Queen from Britain with high shipping costs. PLEASE help me to acquire my tea right here in the "ole US of A".

Royal Blend Tea
March 31, 2012
Was so happy to learn that Fortnum & Mason tea is once again available in the US. Love Royal Blend, but need tea bags, please. I carry them in a little tea bag holder in my purse all the time - for work and travel. Thanks.
Pros: Quality, Flavor, great for home
Cons: Time to Prepare, Difficult to Prepare, loose leaves not good for travel

Tea lover's dream
January 16, 2012
I rely on this tea for breakfast-gives me just the kick start I need. However...it used to be available in bag form, which is quite convenient for travel. If it were at all possible for W-S to obtain them again it would be wonderful for this traveler. One more thing: if it becomes available in decaf, then I could have it at any time of day! Any chance of that? Is it available as decaf?
Pros: Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift
Cons: unavailable in bag form unavailable as decaf

royal blend tea
December 4, 2011
Royal Blend is the best of the best! Thank you, Williams-Sonoma for carrying this product. We live one hour from the nearest W.S. store, however when in the area ( and when shopping online) we always buy this magnificent tea. Please keep it in your inventory as we always purchase it!
Pros: Texture, Easy to Prepare, Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Decadent, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift
Cons: tad expensive, wish you had tea bags as well

This is TEA
October 22, 2011
My favorite tea. Unavailable in the USA. Having lived in Europe, this is a high quality tea available in fine tea houses in Europe. I WISH Williams Sonoma would offer the full range of these teas - FORTMASON tea version is my favorite.
Pros: Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift

A lovely tea!
October 16, 2011
This tea is a lovely loose tea and was sent as a gift to my mother as it is her favorite. So much more convenient than bringing it back from England in my suitcase and just as good as I always remembered! Shipping was prompt, gift wrapping was beautiful and appreciated. Thanks-you for providing this superior product through Williams-Sonoma!
Pros: Quality, Good for Entertaining, Great Gift

Royal Blend - Our most favored tea
October 12, 2011
Recently we mentioned to our friends that Royal Blend from F&M in London was our most favored tea while we served in Europe but could not find it here. Today, we got a wonderful gift in the form of 2 tins of the tea which truly made our day. Henceforth, we will buy the tea on-line since our WS store here does not carry it. Thank you for adding the tea to your inventory.
Pros: Authentic, Quality, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift

best tea I ever had
September 17, 2011
I had this tea on the Delta Airlines flight once and I loved it. I saved the cover and tried to find it online. The only store that sells this tea in the whole United States is Williams-Sonoma. I thought of buying the tea bags, but they are not available. I end up buying the loose tea which has the same great taste. Thanks to Williams -Sonoma.
Pros: Quality, Flavor

Best tea ever!!
July 16, 2011
I can't thank you enough Williams -Sonoma! I, too, had my first Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend tea in London and it was the best tea I ever had! After I depleted the supply I bought in London, I ordered more from the UK website and paid over $40.00 in shipping fees. I was so excited to find it in your Christmas catalog and placed my order promptly. PLEASE don't stop carrying it!! My son and I have such a great ritual enjoying this tea! Thank you!!

My favorite loose tea
July 13, 2011
I periodically browse the Internet to check to see who, if anyone, carries Fortnum and Mason Royal Blend. The last time I bought it, I paid $40 postage to have it shipped from the UK. I was thrilled to find that it is carried by Williams-Sonoma. This makes me an even bigger fan of the store. Thank you very much.

Best Tea Ever
July 1, 2011
Royal Blend Tea.
I don't want to review this tea for fear that it will sell out even more quickly. Spectacular. And has been since I discovered it 40 years ago (when I was 10 and visiting the UK). Worth whole trips to London.

Now I can dig out my hidden stash of Fortnum and Mason Teas again. Short of making a trip to Britain, I have had to have a friend there order it sent to her, then she forwards it to me.

My Favorite Earl Grey Tea
March 6, 2011
It's been several years since I drank Fortnum and Mason's Earl Grey tea. Too expensive to have it shipped from England. Thank you for giving serious tea drinkers the opportunity to indulge in this quality loose tea product. Royal Blend is also wonderful (with milk), and I would love to see Queen Anne tea offered. Thanks again!

I'm very glad to see these teas available in the US. These teas are very good.
I would like to see the Jasmine Green Tea and Gunpowder teas if you can get them. I will order both.

Best tea available in USA again!
February 23, 2011
In my opinion, this tea is the best, and I drink a lot of tea. It has a delicious, full, smooth flavor, no matter which blend you brew. My favorite is Royal Blend, but any of these Fortnum and Mason teas are superb. It's been impossible recently to find them in the USA, until now. Thank you, Williams Sonoma, for carrying these teas!
