laurenpressley drank Holiday Tea by Harney & Sons

I swear, I am going to drink a cup of this every day until I run out.

That’s saying something, too, since I only am letting myself have one fully caffeinated cup of black tea per day until this little one isn’t depending on me for sustenance any more.

But I’m also not getting another canister of this until next holiday season. It’s tasty, and smells like the holidays, and I want to keep it that way.

So, it looks like the next fully caffeinated tasting note will be in the new year (unless I get bored before then)!

Hey it’s seasonal so go for it:) I go on kicks like that too… I just pray I don’t get sick of matcha!

Awww, you’re making me wish I had ordered this with my H&S order! I got a sample of White Christmas, though, so we’ll be able to take notes and compare the holiday blends! :)

@Cofftea: I know what you mean!

@teaplz: Those are the two I ordered from H&S the other day. I’m enjoying White Christmas, too. Though I love the smell more than the tea. Can’t wait to see what you think of it!

I’m hoping to get this tea and White Christmas from my boyfriend on the 25th. We saw them both as a gift box in the bookstore and I’ve been dropping ten-ton hints so hopefully he was listening. :D

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, too. :)

Bio

a tea drinking geek librarian

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

I went on a (near) tea fast in 2009 when I was pregnant, and am only now really reintroducing tea at the levels I was drinking it before. I’ve lost some of my tasting edge, but that just gives me an excuse to drink even more. :)

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.

90-99: will definitely get more of this tea

80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time

70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season

60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard

30-39: okay, will try again, maybe

20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available

10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup

0-9: didn’t even finish the cup
