I had the other sachet that Bonnie sent me and it was equally as delicious. I just love it so much. So much that I’ve upped the rating. And so much that I’m seriously considering right now buying the 1 lb (well 16 oz as they say on the website, but it’s the same) bag of this and having it forever. It’s just that good.

On another Harney & Son’s note, I recently heard of a person from Canada doing a challenge or quest or whatever you want to call it where he tried every tea from DAVIDsTEA. I’m actually really considering doing this with Harney & Son’s. Like…. a lot. They’re the company that I’ve had the most experience with and all of their teas that I’ve tried have been phenomenal. I mean, obviously there will be some I don’t like, but I really want to do this just to see. It seems like so much fun to me.

It’s so good! I’ve tried about 10 different teas from Harney and Son’s and this is by far my favorite.

I believe it’s C-Chan doing that challenge

I would love to hear you do this! I thought about doing it with Teavana when I first found out about them, but they are too expensive with no sample sizes and I just don’t like enough of their teas…too fruity and flavored. If you do this please keep us posted!

Hello!

I’m Ian and I’m a 15 year old student who lives in Vermont. I started (heavily) drinking tea in Late 2010 and have been obsessed ever since!

I tend to drink more black and herbal teas, though I do enjoy oolong, green, and white, and I’m exploring other facets of the tea world (I’m still trying with pu-erh!)

I tend to lean towards sweeter and fruity flavors in my teas, and I’m not a big fan of smoky flavored teas, or anything that’s VERY bold.

I also enjoy a cup of coffee every once and a while, though it does mess with my stomach sometimes so I don’t drink it as often as I drink tea.

In addition to tea drinking, I’m also really interested in:
Classical music (I’ve been playing clarinet for 5 years now and it’s my favorite thing to do), independent arts/music, education on environmental sustainability, reading, Fair Trade and safe-trade practices, Cognitive science, art history, and a lot more.

I’m open to swaps, but I don’t have a very wide collection. Regardless, if I review a tea and you would like a sample, feel free to message me and we can work something out! If you would like to just try something without a swap, feel free to ask too! I know that I personally don’t have a lot of teas to swap and if you’re in the same position as me just feel free to ask for a sample and I’ll send you some, no strings attached!

I run a blog on TeaTrade which you can find here: http://serendipitea.teatra.de/. The goal of my blog is to better connect tea with the arts and go beyond just the taste aspect of tea. Enjoy!
