My favourite has always been Royal Blend. Very simple but I’ve always loved it.
Recently I found another beautiful blend. a little unusual one 😉
Fortmason Tea. The name like this, it must be one of their flagship products. I wonder why I never knew??
It’s a blend of Indian & Chinese tea. Beautiful fragrance & original taste. I’ve never drank one like this. All my friends like it 😀
I think loose tea leaf always taste better than tea bags. but if you are going to give it as a gift, teabags may be better. Not everyone is into using a teapot.
My friend came over for lunch and gave me a lovely present💕
A beautiful hand soap & lotion set from Bamford.
I believe Bamford is owned by the organic farm Daylesford. I love the Daylesford cafe in Notting Hill😀
My policy is to start using lovely things as soon as possible! so I put them in the cloakroom – makes my cloakroom look 100 times nicer and more stylish✨
Something about putting a hand soap & the matching lotion set really improves the look. At least for the bathroom that the guests can use, it is worth spending the money to pick a nice set.
I bought some macaroons & teas from F&M yesterday…
& found this crazy thing. I had to buy it!!
Asparagus shaped chocolate. What is this‼️
They were displayed in the Easter Eggs section. Why is that??? Does asparagus have something to do with the Easter???
They are so weird, but I could not resist. Too weird to ignore. So I bought them.
£17/bag. Way to expensive💦 but I wanted it.
The label says “Hand painted asparagus”. Is it really???
My husband’s birthday is next month, so I decided to give it to him for his birthday. I wonder if he will like it😉 Even if he doesn’t, he is too English to say what he really thinks so I’m sure he will pretend to like it at least – so no problem. I just won’t tell him the price.
Fortnum & Mason made me 😆 I guess that is not a bad thing.
It was another beautiful day in London so I went wondering around the town with the children☀️
We first went to Ippudo in Charing Cross for Ramen noodle. Their Tonkotsu Ramen is so good – feels like I’m back in Japan. But it cost three times as much as Japan💦 Oh well, this is London for you.
We strolled up to Piccadilly Circus and went to Fortnum & Mason. I love love love F&M❤️ Yes, Japanese loves that shop.
Today, we were after their macaroons (or macarons??? I never know which is correct). I love the box too.
There are other famous macaroons shops like Laduree from Paris, but I personally think F&M ones are the best!! Prices are similar (F&M may be just slightly cheaper…)
Nobody ever really talk about the macaroons from F&M, and I always wondered why?? F&M counter has macaroons & chocolates, and they are both really really good✨
They have regular flavours like chocolate & pistachio, but that’s a bit boring… Slightly unusual ones are so much better & more fun.
Our family favourite is Creme Brulee flavour. Its sweetness is just right and creamy… soooo good💖
My personal favourite is Earl Grey flavour. I love the colour green with gold flakes on top. F&M is famous for its teas after all😉
They have interesting flavours like apple 🍏 They are always introducing new seasonal flavours which is fun!
Today, we got a box of 12.
It cost £22, so not cheap…. that’s why I don’t buy them so often.
But whenever I buy them, my family goes “Wow‼️” so I get them once every few months. We all love it.
