Highgrove organic ground coffee

Available in Fortnum and Masons store at Piccadilly, London


I recently tried this medium roast blend coffee priced at £8.50 for a 125g tin, twist off lid - described as "organic blend of seasonally selected coffees from around the world" with a taste of chocolate and dried fruit - AND IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!  This has to be the best coffee I've tried from either Fortnums or Harrods!

It's available through the Fortnums website HERE and also from the Highgrove Gardens website HERE as well as the Fortnum shop in Piccadilly, London.
It is SO worth getting!!!

Fortnum & Mason's Orange Curd

This is a 310g jar of lemon curd..... thicker than jam but not as bitter/tangy as marmalade.  I've tried the lemon curd and lime curd already and this is on a par with the Fortnum's lemon curd although I think I like the lemon curd SLIGHTLY better

It has a lovely tangy orange taste but not too tangy.  This 310g jar costs £4.95 and is worth the price.  It can be purchased in-store at the main Piccadilly store in London or online through their website here
Lovely on toast, toasted teacakes or crumpets or muffins

Fortnum & Mason's Kings Blend coffee

This coffee is my favourite of the Fortnums coffee range.  It comes in a 250g tin with a fancy red scalloped design and is made using Arabica mild beans from South America & Kenya and an Indian Monsooned Malabar bean.  It produces a full bodied flavour.

The coffee is available instore at the Fortnums shop on Piccadilly & St Pancras station (probably in airport duty frees too) and also from their website here for £12.50.  Pricey, but well worth the money!

Fortnum & Mason Lime Curd

Now, THIS is worth buying!!!  If you like lemon curd, this lime curd has a tangier flavour - image shows the 185g jar but now, only comes in a 315g jar from the Fortnums website here for £4.95 a jar.  This is completely splendiferous and SOOO worth the money!!  You won't regret tasting this stuff!!!

Fortnum and Mason After Dinner coffee

This is a really nice coffee!!!  Not quite as good as the Harrods but now that Harrods have rebranded their coffee range and only have one instead of four, the Fortnums coffee makes a good alternative.  The After Dinner Viennese blend comes in a 250g tin and is ground from Colombian and Guatamalan beans.  It costs £12.50 a tin and is available instore or online here After Dinner Viennese Coffee

Fortnum & Mason Stem Ginger Piccadilly Biscuits

This 200g tin of biscuits contains a dozen thin "Piccadilly" biscuits flavoured with stem ginger.  Given the "kick" to the taste, it's real ginger too, and these make a quality biscuit!  Priced at £7.25 a tin which seems expensive..... but they ARE a quality biscuit and you'll remember the taste in a positive way for a long time after you've finished them!!  
These can be ordered online HERE as can several other flavours in the same line.  (about eight, I think)

Fortnum and Masons Orange hot chocolate drink


This is another of the Fortnum & Masons hot chocolate drink range and I'm not convinced I like this.  First time I tried it, I didn't like it at all.  Second time I tried it, it tasted slightly better but not much.  It's flaked chocolate (like the caramel one of their I like) and instructions say to use 2 tablespoons of the chocolate, heat up the milk in a pan and when hot, pour a little of the milk onto the chocolate and then mix into the paste, and then pour the rest of the milk in.  It has a strong taste in my opinion but I didn't like it at all.  A friend tried it and says that it tastes like a dark chocolate rather than a milk chocolate which may explain why I don't like it.   (But then the Harrods Mocha hot choc reminds me of a 70% chocolate and I like that one)
I'm not convinced.....!!

This can be purchased from Fortnums HERE and costs £15 a tin.

Fortnum & Masons Caramel hot chocolate drink

 This is a rather luxurious hot chocolate drink, states 300g on the back of the tin but 200g on the website for £15 which seems rather extorntiate.... but.....!!!

 (top of lid)

(contents - grated chocolate rather than powder)

As this is grated chocolate, it has a slightly different mixing instruction than powder - starting with 2 level measuring tablespoons of the chocolate (and yes, it works best with that amount - you get the full taste with it).  Heat up a mug's worth of milk and then when hot, pour a little into the mug with the chocolate and stir to melt.  Then pour the rest of the milk in, stir and drink.

This has a slightly different texture to the Harrods chocolate which is more full-flavoured.  The Fortnum & Masons has a more subtle flavouring but is more creamy and chocolatey smooth.

The full range can be seen here Fortnum's hot chocolate range

Note: the tin I have says 300g weight on the back of it but the website says 200g weight.  I can only guess the difference is the weight of the snazzy tin....?
