Harrods Signature blend coffee

This is the last of four Harrods coffee that I've tried - coming in similar tins to the hot chocolate range but a slightly larger 250g metallic tin.  It's a medium roast 100% pure arabica coffee from Ethopia and El Salvador.  It has a very smooth taste and not the blatantly strong and bitter "coffee caffeine" taste that you can get with regular supermarket brands.  I'd describe this as a "light" coffee and rate it a close second to the Founders Choice coffee.  It's priced at £12.95 a tin and available by mail order from the Harrods website here Signature blend coffee

Monbana Christmas hot chocolate powder, gingerbread flavour

This is a very pleasant hot chocolate drink - it's gingerbread "flavoured" but it's not an over-the-top strong flavour.  Quite subtle but you can tell that it's there..... starts warming the mouth up nicely!  Goes very well with ginger biscuits too....!!  Made with one heaped teaspoon is good, two is better.  Wouldn't want more than that though.

This was given to me as a present so I've no idea where to buy it or how much it costs.... but I would not say no to another tin!

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)

Whittard salted caramel hot chocolate

Now this stuff is yummy!!!  I'd put this second place to the Harrods salted caramel chocolate, as it's not QUITE as luxurious.  Again you can use a heaped teaspoon of the chocolate powder with a mug's worth of hot milk and still get a yummy mug of hot chocolate although two teaspoons makes it more chocolatey.  This one was a small tub that we got in a Christmas gift box with a mug and marshamallows, but it can be bought in a standard tub of 350g for £6 online here Salted Caramel chocolate

Whittard luxury hot chocolate

We got a small tub of this last Christmas - the full sized 350g tub costs £6 - and used one heaped teaspoon in hot milk.  Although not as spiffy as the Harrods hot chocolate, the Whittards version does make a decent tasting chocolate.  It's certainly the better of the lower cost hot chocolate drinks - I prefer the Whittards luxury choc to some of their flavoured chocs.

Harrods Brompton Blend coffee.

This is another of Harrods' ground coffee's, made with Indonesian, Costa Rican, Colombian and Indian coffees and is the more "unusual" tasting coffee.  The blurb on the tin says it gives a brown sugar taste with a hint of spice....... it reminds me of a similar taste to the Muscovado brown sugar, possibly in the black treacle-y taste group.  If you don't particularly like Muscovado sugar/black treacle, this may not be your coffee!!!  The blurb on the tin also says it has a lingering aftertaste too, which I'd agree with.  It's not a horrid coffee, but I wouldn't make it every day either - I think it's more of an acquired taste, once in a while coffee.

It costs £12.95 per 250g tin and can be ordered online here Brompton blend

Harrods Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate drink.

This is, so far, my favourite hot chocolate drink.  This comes in a very smart metallic blue tin and contains 200g of hot chocolate powder.  The instructions on the back say to use 4 heaped teaspoons, but you can get away with using one heaped teaspoon of powder and still have a very flavoursome hot chocolate drink.  As with the other Harrods hot chocolates, this is priced at £9.95 per tin and is no longer available online or in store due to rebranding (As of March 2017)

However, they do have a Sea salted Caramel hot chocolate, 300g, in a copper tin priced at £12 available online HERE and also in store
