Okay, I raised the temp and lowered the steeping time. I think I found how I like it though there still isn’t as much bergamot as I would hope for. Of course, now I’m out of the sample.
55 Tasting Notes
The more I taste this one, the more I like it. It isn’t bitter. It rich, roasted, and dark. It is nice on its own but it stands up well when sweetened or even with milk and honey.

I have to be careful not to let this steep too long or the the flavor is too strong. But when I get it right, it is the perfect marriage of cinnamon and orange with a caffeine kick from the black tea.
It has the wonderful cinnamon flavor I have come to love from Harney’s. However, I don’t prefer it matched with the grassiness of the green tea.
Having loved Arbor Tea’s Cinnamon Rooibos, I gave this blend a try. Oh my Dumbledore. It’s perfect. I would swear that they put sweetener in it but apparently they don’t. Incredibly strong cinnamon. Perfect. I only order a sample, now I’m off to buy a tin!
I really wanted to like this. I had a cup of White Earl Grey at Teavana that I loved and since I try not to buy from them, I gave Harney’s version a shot. I don’t dislike it. It’s just…there is this odd medicinal taste to it. I can’t put my finger on it but I get a strong flavor that reminds me of a hospital and I can’t figure it out.
The base is nice and the jasmine is strong. If offered I would drink it, but I don’t think I’ll order this again. I’ve had a few jasmines now and the floral is just too much for me.
A nice white. It isn’t too mild like some whites. Just enough flavor. With a little honey, it is a nice iced tea to drink with a meal.
I picked this one up in sachets at Target on a whim. The chocolate didn’t make this as sweet as I expected so I added a teensy bit of honey. With a splash of milk, I had desert in a cup. Very yummy.

I really like this iced and have been using it to make some of my other greens go farther. It isn’t my favorite on its own but it does the trick.
Meh. I made sure to get fruit pieces in the tea but it tastes like a bland green.
Not as spicy as I’d like, but still tasty.
I have to be careful not to brew this too long or it tastes purely like an ashtray. When I get it right, it’s smokey and wonderful.

The sweet strawberry flavor if great and there wasn’t the astringency that I usually associate with Honeybush. However, the floral notes reminded me a bit of potpourri which was slightly off-putting.
I finally found the perfect way to make this cup. I use my 14 oz mug. For about 11 oz of tea, I used 2 tsp. of leaves for 2.5 minutes. A tsp of honey and a little half and half, and I am golden.

I had a bag of this at a local shop. It was yummy. I need to look into more of their teas.
This tastes exactly as advertised. The vanilla isn’t my favorite but if I’m sure I’ll make it through the sample just fine.
Sweet strawberry and a touch of cream…it is so desert like. Now I wish I knew what a zabaglione was…
A big thanks to Rachel for this one. :)
This is a really yummy chai. I enjoyed it with some milk and honey.
