Tea's from England, how I rate them

 I believe I had almost 25 teas while in London...in 7 days, not too bad. I also did 7 afternoon teas and in a lot of those places I tried more than one kind of tea.

Afternoon Teas

I had seven afternoon teas, and I have rated the over all experience:

(This is based on price, tea, food, atmosphere, service)

1. Fortnum & Mason

2. Downton Abbey/Highclere Castle

3. Harrods

4.Brigit's Tea Bus

5. Buckingham Palace

6. Kensington Palace Orangery

7. Jane Austen


I then brought home all the tea bags and tea paper to go cups to make ornaments with for my Christmas tree.

I bought these frames at Hobby Lobby at 50% off.

I decided to make this my main souvenir for the trip.  I thought it would also be fun to hunt down the tea bags, especially because a lot of the afternoon tea places served loose leaf tea, not tea bags- so I had to get creative to get the actual bags.

I also tried to do Earl Grey at every place to compare them as well.
