Tower of London Blend from Harney & Sons

JacquelineM drank Tower of London Blend by Harney & Sons

Yum. This was another of my tagalong tin purchases from my recent order. Sweet and jammy, plus gooooood tea flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed two nice steeps. It makes me wonder if I should add honey instead of sugar to Paris…and also makes me wonder if I should order this instead of Paris when I run out, as it’s absolute perfection in its natural state.

P.S. – Tasting note number 1000 here!

Kidding? 1000? How on earth?! Wow! I’ll never get to that high a number! Congrat’s!

Wow, congrats! Makes me want to ask: how long have you been on Steepster??

TheTeaFairy — I’ve been here since December of 2009. It is almost my 3 year Steepsterversary :)

(My 1000th just made me feel old and crusty ;) Perfect tea for a milestone, though!

Wow, Jacqueline! We must have joined at about the same time! You are sooo much better at tasting notes, though! Congrats on 1,000!

Had to backtrack and look…my first posts, September 2009.

I went all the way back to my first but it just says three years ago. I think it was around September or October, though.

ashmanra, When I’m on my dashboard, right next to my photo, it says: JacquelineM

gmathis, That sounds about right because I remember you being here as a regular when I arrived.

Congratulations on reaching this milestone, Jacqueline! I love Tower of London, and yes, I think I do like it a leetle bit better than Paris. If only ToL came in a decaf version! But I suppose that’s a bit too much to wish for. :)

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
