Fortnum & Mason introduces world's first Scottish tea
London's luxury department store Fortnum & Mason is about to launch the world's first tea produced in the Scottish Highlands. Dalreoch tea comes from a small plantation in the Strathbraan Valley in Perthshire and retails for £200 for 100 grams, which equals to £10 per cup, making it the second most expensive tea ever sold at Fortnum & Mason. The tea will come in two white varieties: natural, similar to white peony, and smoked, with a more nutty character. The launch follows a recent trend of small-scale teas produced in the Western Hemisphere, in countries such as the US, UK and Canada.
