Royal Wedding from Harney & Sons
96

Like Jenn, I have QuiltGuppy to thank for this. Also, like Jenn, today seemed like a good day for this. I love the delicate nature of this blend. It almost demands the best china to be used when serving. So I broke out an heirloom cup and saucer and made it my profile picture. That is Royal Wedding in the cup. (I did this days ago, but just felt inspired enough to log it)
I love the color of it after steeping, a rich gold in my cup. There is a hint of vanilla or maybe a note of honey. I agree with Jenn, the floral aspect is very light. This tea is formal, detailed, even complex, but wonderful. I can count the white teas I have tried on one hand, if they are all this good, I may be adding to the list!

I believe she did, she seemed to have enjoyed a windfall of it somehow.
Isn’t she just THE BEST?
Glad you are yielding to the power of Royal Wedding!

teawing’s right. :) I placed an order with H&S and it needed to ship in two separate boxes. Well, I received three. Half of my order had been duplicated. When I called their customer service to let them know, they asked me what had been duplicated, then told me to keep it and share with friends. I, of course, chose to share! :) One of the things I had ordered was the 50 sachet bag of Royal Wedding. I received 100.

Speaking of generous, Jenn, I’m just about to try my kombucha. I had to go and buy a different glass container with a secure lid for the secondary fermentation. The scoby baby looks great! I hope it’s ready to go on to the next step. (I also just bought some organic frozen peach slices and ginger to help flavor some of the tea.)
