From Harney & Sons

This Hao Ya A tea is the most intense Keemun loaded with light chocolate and toasty flavors. The city of Keemun was a highlight of Mike’s 2009 trip to China. He was there for the start of the Hao Ya A season.

I picked up a sample of this with my most recent Harney order. I’ve only had a couple cups’ worth, but it has left a definite impression on me.

This tea steeps a nice dark brown. The aroma and taste are both loaded with cocoa. Very bold and very smooth.

This may replace Teavana’s Golden Monkey as my go-to tea! I will be ordering a tin and reporting back.

Good. I like others more, but I wasn’t disappointed. I do love chocolate, but this one was a little too … I don’t know. Bold? Smoky? Something like that. Would I buy it again? Probably not.
