I ask because there is so much pollution in China and India these days. thanks.** A: This is VERY good tea. I have NO idea where it comes from but I very much doubt that Fortnum & Mason would be buying it from anyplace where there might be pollution. They have been in business for a couple of hundred years and the British are VERY fussy about their TEAS. The only place to buy this tea at a reasonable price is the Fortum and Mason store in London. When you buy it through Amazon or other retailers here you will be paying DOUBLE the price. **Q: is this tea caffeine free?** A: No, this tea is not caffeine free. As described, "classic Royal Blend notes of Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon uplift the maltier Assam", they are rich black teas. This blend is one of my favorites and is a welcome cup in the morning. I order this consistently for its great flavor and full body. Since I generally do not drink decaffeinated tea I can not recommend an alternative. Perhaps some of the green teas with less caffeine would suit you. **Q: Is there a way to know the expiration date?** A: I last ordered this tea in February 2021. and the tin that was delivered has an expiration date of November 30, 2023 (stamped 30/11/23) on the bottom. I don't know if you can determine the exp date before it is ordered. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it but expensive. *by J***K on July 19, 2026* I've been purchasing this brand of tea for several years now. It's a great quality tea that I use with mint and lavendar for a refreshing late night latte with cashew milk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ World's best *by R***I on July 7, 2026* Best and smoothest black tea I have *ever* drank, and I'm kind of a tea snob, lol. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very smooth, great taste *by A***. on July 25, 2025* Our daughter originally purchased this tea for my wife when she visited London. My wife liked it so much that she has been buying it ever since. For tea, it is a little pricey but it goes a long way. The taste of the tea is very nice. My wife likes it so much that she is hesitant to share it with me. This is a high quality product that you can really taste the quality of the leaves. If you like Earl Grey tea, this is several steps up in the taste category. Very highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fortnum & Mason British Tea, Royal Blend, 250g Loose English Tea in a Gift Tin Caddy - Fortnum and Mason British Tea, Breakfast Blend 250g Loose English Tea in a Gift Tin Caddy (1 Pack) - British Royal Warrant Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey tea 1 can (250g) Fortnum & Mason EARL GREY --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/21446529-british-tea-royal-blend-250g-loose-english-tea-in-gift](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/21446529-british-tea-royal-blend-250g-loose-english-tea-in-gift) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
