Food for Fort: decaff tea and Michelin-starred restaurants

My doctor says I have to switch to decaffeinated tea, but all I can find is horrible bags. Where can I get decaffeinated proper loose tea? Proper tea in a proper pot. Quite right, too. Twinings offer decaff traditional English (£5.50 for 75g); the Tea Master has four decaffeinated teas (from £4.37 for 50g); and the highly rated Jing Tea has a decaff black Assam (£5.20 for 50g). Better start warming the pot. The only thing getting me excited about turning 40 is deciding to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant for the first time. But I have no idea where to go. I like the idea of tucking into great food and equally great wine, but hate the idea of sitting with posh old folk and feeling out of place for laughing. I know exactly what you mean, and two places spring to mind, both in London, very different in style, but each of which delivers the goods. There's the Ledbury , which has two Michelin stars and more awards than you can shake a stick at – it's at the suave, sophisticated end, but very relaxed and unponcey, and they'll be delighted if you laugh. The other is Pollen Street Social , a new, seriously buzzy place with seriously buzzy food. It's just been awarded its first Michelin star. Check out both websites and see which you fancy. • Got a culinary query for Matthew? Email [email protected] Follow Matthew on Twitter: twitter.com/matthewfort Visit Matthew's blog, Fort On Food
