Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey tea

Quite expensive online, really loved it. Is there any online shops that sells it cheaper?

I just did a quick google search and I am shocked. The teas are nearly $150. Is it really that good? You can try amazon as they seem to sell everything but I’m not sure if they carry this particular brand.

Damn, you mean civets also eat tea leaves? e.g. Kopi Luwak

Looks like it's the shipping costs (and local markup), 2x125gm tins of F&M Earl Grey from the F&M website is GBP16.95 ($31) but worldwide shipping is GBP40! Which brings the total to around $110, I'll stick to the Tesco Finest from Fairprice :D

I actually drink Earl Grey every evening with dinner, again, from Fairprice, either Twinings or Dilmah. Not that particular. I double-bag Boh tea all day long though. It's got Oomph! ;-)

Will have to check out the Tesco shelf at NEX the next time I go.

Plenty of it on amazon.com far below the $150 price, shipment inclusive.
