mrawlins2 drank Paris by Harney & Sons

I made a Thermos of this tea to take to work at about 6:45 this morning. I took it to work and completely forgot I brought it until way late this evening. My tea was still really hot in my Thermos after over 12 hours – and it was amazing.

I keep seeing this tea pop up here every few days or so and I don’t think it’s ever rated below an 85. I’ve got several H&S teas on my shopping list. It might be time to drop some $$.

I would highly recommended both Paris and Florence from H&S. I’ve found that both teas have grown on me, the more I drink them the more I want them.

I haven’t noticed the same and feel the same way Paul.

If anyone is interested, as of this post the coupon code of NEW2010 will get you 10% off at H&S. Thanks for the inspiration mrawlins2. I’m doing a world tour of Paris, Florence and Tokyo.

Cool, thanks I may have to give in.

Profile

Bio

I am a former coffee drinker turned tea lover.

Black tea is probably my favorite type of tea, but I rather enjoy most types… I’m even developing a taste for pu-erh.

Rating Scale:
0-10: This tea is either flavorless or just plain undrinkable. I will avoid these teas in the future.

11-20: I was only able to make it through a few sips before pouring the tea out.

21-30: I may have been able to make it through the first cup but the thought of having another has me cringing.

31-40: Teas in this range are not horrible, but nothing I would seek out in the future.

41-60: Would drink if offered, but would not purchase for myself.

61-70: Okay, nothing special

71-80: Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for these. Probably would purchase if I found a really great price.

81-90: Pretty good tea, will probably be one of my favorites.

91-95: These teas are really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily run out and buy more of these (just because there are so many teas out there that I haven’t tried), but I would miss this tea.

96-99: Terrific, very impressive.

100: This special rating is reserved for teas that are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I will only give out a rating of 100 to one tea per category (Earl Grey, unflavored black, dessert tea, Irish Breakfast, etc). These are teas that I really want to have around.

Perfect Teas so Far:

Earl Grey: Saint Isaac’s Blend (Russian Earl Grey) from Upton

Dessert Tea: Marco Polo from Mariage Freres

Unflavored Black: Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap
