Wedding Tea from Harney & Sons
78

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary – we are drinking Harney & Sons Wedding Tea and reviewing it together.

We used one sachet per 8 oz cup (a little stronger than the suggested usage) in 180 degree water and steeped it for 3 minutes; the result was a deep yellow-orange liquor. The flavor was delicate but not weak.

We were both able to distinguish individual notes of vanilla and rose with a faint lemon background on a base of white tea, but when we sat back and experienced the ingredients in concert we discovered the taste and aroma of marshmallow candy.

We both enjoyed this tea; my husband rated it a 77, I gave it a 79.

This combo sounds LOVELY! It even inspired me to create my own blend. Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary :) I’ve heard your husband DJ before many shows I’ve attended :) So funny what a small world it is.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes!

Cofftea, I look forward to reading about your blend.

JacquelineM, my husband was flattered you remembered – most people only know him as a writer and don’t know he used to DJ.

Paul M Tracy – your 21st Anniversary – that is fantastic – congratulations!

I really have no need, room, or $ for 4oz of the same tea right now, but it has has lemon, cream, and strawberry black teas- adagio doesn’t let me use rose:(

I’m going to have to get this for my cousin. Her wedding is in October; a nice tea set, kettle, and this tea would make a great gift!

My husband and I have the pretty Wedding Tea tin with 20 sachets. Harney & Sons also offers the tin packaged with a white teapot, two matching cups and I think a pair of honey spoons. A five piece tin is available and it can be personalized (nice for wedding favors).

They also sell the Wedding Tea as loose leaf by the pound – I’m hoping when we’re done our tin we’ll refill it with that, or at least get the bulk bag of sachets (50 pieces).

Oh, thanks for the tip! Saves me the trouble of having to find everything!

Bio

My name is Glamorosi. I am a jewelry designer and I blog about food, tea, fashion and entertainment.

I grow a huge variety of herbs and edible flowers, many of which I use for tisanes. I also grow heirloom tomatoes and fruit; my avatar is a photo of the calamondins in my garden – the rinds are delicious steeped in tea.

I enjoy all types of pure, unflavored tea. When I visit a tea shop I always buy a few Darjeelings – it’s my absolute favorite. I’m partial to second flush but I like first flush too.

I am a huge fan of Oolong tea.

I have a bowl of matcha every day.

I also drink a lot of rooibos and honeybush. I’m into spiced chai, florals (especially jasmine and rose) and blends flavored with almond or coconut.

I’m married to my favorite writer and we have a greyhound named Django.
