LiberTEAS drank Eight at the Fort by Harney & Sons

I’ve wanted to try this tea for a while now. It’s one of those teas that I always seem to forget to put in my shopping cart when I’m shopping on Harney’s site, and after I’ve placed the order, I’m like “oh yeah! I wanted to order that!” This time, it was one of the first teas that I put in my cart so I wouldn’t forget.

After brewing this (but before tasting it) I was reading through some of the tasting notes, and I wish I would have lowered the temperature a little based upon what I read. But, let’s hope it will still turn out ok…

Wow! It’s so rich and full-flavored. Very nicely rounded.

I like this much better than I thought I would, and I was pretty sure I’d enjoy it!

I bought the sample of this and really enjoyed it. I keep meaning to add it to my next order. It is about I do. :)

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
