Tower of London Blend from Harney & Sons

JacquelineM drank Tower of London Blend by Harney & Sons

Today I had a dentist’s appt (no matter how pleasant and comforting my wonderful doctor makes it, I still get petrified!) and now that I am in work, I wanted a flavored, sweet, lovely tea. I am so lucky – ashmanra sent me a sachet of this to try!

I taste good tea and berries. Something else too – something lightly sweet. It reminds me quite a bit of Kusmi’s St. Petersburg. In other words, this tea is Right Up My Alley! So good and flavorful with nary an addition.

Thank you so much ashmanra!!!!! I love it!

The tin says black tea, stone fruit flavours, bergamot, and honey flavours. Yum!

Yum x 2!!!! I am actually sitting on my hands so that I don’t go crazy and make a huge H&S order! Golden Monkey might push me over the edge though – I am saving the monkey for tomorrow when I have a hideous 12 hour day!! Eeeee eee eee!

Since St. Petes was in the 90s, this one’s a bit light, it deserves a 90 as well!

Ha ha ha. You are right once again! I mean, if I was thinking in cold, calculated, soul crushing numbers ;)

See, there goes your no rating policy ;)

I can just rate your teas for you so you should start rating again =]

I am stubborn as a mule. Won’t rate! Nope. Nu-uh! :)

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
