A refreshingly strong everyday brew, Albion Tea is a homage to the story of how tea came to be Britain’s favourite drink. Christened after an ancient name for England, Albion represents the epitome and essence of Britain with the name itself predating the creation of Britain in 1707.
In the cup, malty Assam blends with bright Kenyan to create one of our strongest ever teas, making this robust brew perfect for mid-morning sipping.

Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 17
Hooray! A Fortnum tea I have never tried before!
I asked Alexa (my Echo device) what was in this before I made it this morning thinking she would say she didn’t know. Instead she lied to me and told me it was a peach tea. I have had their Black Tea with Peach and really didn’t think they would put peach in a blend called Albion. Look on the website and I was right. This is a black tea blend with Assam and I believe it said there was some African tea (Kenya?)as well.
It is a hearty tea that I would classify as Irish Breakfast style. I was really surprised to hear that Ashman drank it for breakfast without any additions. This is one where the Assam is strong enough to tempt me to add milk, but I didn’t and had it at both breakfast and lunch and it was pretty good. It isn’t what I would consider a luxury tea but rather a decent daily drinker type.
Edit to add: just tried the final cup with milk (no sugar) and this really elevated it. Yum!
Very happy to have tried it, because I love trying new Fortnum teas!
Drink it this is good. Not as strong as they advertised (maybe depends on how you brew it), it’s sweet with a little bitterness, but at the same time still provides you enough flavour of black teas, I like this a lot. Easy to drink and makes you want more.
