From Fortnum & Mason, the Lapsang Souchong Tea Candle. "Unmistakably smoky and evocative of smouldering pinewood fires, our Lapsang Souchong tea inspires the fragrance and aroma of this sophisticated candle. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England and would make a thoughtful gift." £45 for 280g, or £22 for the 75g votive, and both are also available in Countess Grey, Green Jasmine and Rose Pouchong.
More chocolate for Valentine's Day...Rose in the Violet Dress ("filled with a rose and violet fondant") and She Dreams in Marmalade (dark chocolate with orange pieces). Not shown is another I would not mind eating, Lady Antoine's Garden (dark chocolate with elderflower), £6 - 7 each at Fortnum & Mason.
More tea? Why not. "A premier destination for world-class tea, Fortnum & Mason has supplied tea to the royal houses for more than 300 years – an achievement honored by numerous Royal Warrants of Appointment. To celebrate Mother's Day, the legendary British company created a signature blend that showcases black tea from Sri Lanka accented with the fresh flavor of fennel seed, lemon peel, safflower, orange peel and marigold petals." $32.95 for 100g at Williams Sonoma, where the Easter Tea ("Celebrating the arrival of springtime, this signature blend combines low-grown Ceylon black tea with colorful marigold and cornflower blossoms. To highlight its refreshing floral character, the blend is infused with the delicate aromas of elderflower and orange blossoms") is currently marked down to $9.99.
A candle that matches one of my favorite teas: Countess Grey from Fortnum & Mason. "The Countess Grey tea, made with orange pekoe teas, elevated by bergamot and orange combine to create a candle of rare brightness and refinement. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England. Presented in a beautifully decorative box, this tea candle would make a perfect gift." £45 for a 280g candle, also available in a 75g votive for £22. Other scents in the collection include Green Jasmine, Lapsang Souchong and Rose Pouchong.
Fortnum & Mason's Christmas Spiced Tea: "...a seasonal favorite – a fragrant, warming blend of Yunnan black tea flavored with cocoa nibs, cloves and safflower petals. Enjoy it with Fortnum & Mason's biscuits for an authentic English tea time treat." $34.95 at Williams Sonoma.
