Hunan Yellow Sprout from Harney & Sons
92

So I finally got around to trying this again with a clean brew basket. This is a wonderful tea! I’m actually pretty sad that it doesn’t look like Harney carries this one anymore, so now I may need to start my hunt for a good yellow tea (or you know stacy could find one for me…) :) The body of this one is really smooth and tasty. It’s creamy, and delicious and i wish i could find the words to adequately describe this. I’m looking forward to re-steeps and the last bit of my sample that should let me have this one more time.

Thank you nicole!

Yeah, I have been sad to see that it is no longer on the Harney site. I’m now officially hoarding my remaining stash of it.

I’ve only tried one yellow tea, “Ancient Yellow Buds” from the London Tea Room, http://www.thelondontearoom.com/Drink_Me.html
I don’t know how it compares to other yellows, but I enjoyed it!

I like Ancient Yellow Buds from the London Tea Room more BUT I also do love this one as well. I had no idea H&S was no longer carrying it! Terri does LTR still have the Ancient Yellow Buds?? I sure hope so because once this H&S is gone I will also be on the hunt for a good yellow again!

It is probably that this tea is sold out until the new harvest. I find this to be true of Harney’s yellow teas … they come back with the new harvest.

They still have it listed on their menu, so I guess so :)

I think there is a yellow bud tea on Harney’s site right now, also!

Bio

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling and am currently working on trying to get my other half to as many place in the world as possible.
