This one wins the JacquelineM “most delightful to drink new tea released in 2012” award :) That little extra citrus at least doubles if not triples the delight factor of the already very, very fine Earl Grey Supreme. I love this one in all weathers, all times of the year. The tin makes me smile. The sachets have the perfect amount of tea in them. It resteeps beautifully three times. Well done, Misters Harney, well done!
I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.
I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.
My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
