I’m so excited! My Harney order arrived! This is a new Chinese Black from them. When I read “dark” “intoxicating” and “cocoa” I knew that even though no one on Steepster has yet to try it, I would order a tin without batting an eyelash!
My trust in the Harney empire has been rewarded with a …dark, intoxicating, and cocoa cup! The only word I would add is “tangy.” It has that Emperor’s Red tang, which I love (how to explain “tang”? Soy sauce like fermentation meets vegetal? I don’t know. It’s very hard to describe but I think you’ll know what I mean when you taste it), but it’s waaaaaay richer. It’s like Golden Snail’s tall dark and handsome brother. It’s utterly delicious. I feel so happy (it must be the intoxication!)!

I can’t sit on my ordering hands any longer….. ;)
Jen it’s soooooo good. My second steep is excellent – sweeter!
I just put in a little Upton order of Rose Congou and the Imperial Golden Monkey you recommended. I have trust in your empire too :) :) :)
Oh man. If Canada Post ever gets back to work, I might have to consider this, since there is Golden Snail at the mo, but if he has a handsomer older brother…
Ouch, but then I looked at the price. Oh well, I’ve still got lots of tea : )
Uniquity – I know – the price is a little steep (ha! tea humor!) but I find it very worth it. I think it will come to under .60 a cup, which is pretty reasonable for so much pleasure!
It will be my most expensive to date. But then I have not yet really gotten into oolongs. I know they can be pricey. Luckily, they still have the free shipping deal, and I used ashmanra’s other code (summer12) for another 12% off.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Wu Yi Mountain teas, but I have recently come into some Dan Congs from the region that has brought me to reconsider…I totally agree with you Jacqueline about the worth of a cup of pleasure….and your tea humor is a pleasure…..
Gasp! I just got mine today and was planning to send you some as a little surprise! Now what shall I do? I will think of something!
