A new sample from Harney & Sons to try this morning…
Not overly impressed with this one, but it’s nice and strong for the morning time. I am picking up on both the keemun and the assam notes. Strong and malty but at the same time, the keemun seems to give it a nice smoothness.
I did sip on it plain a bit and then decided it needed soymilk, it was good both ways. It is an enjoyable blend — I liked it but don’t think it will be going on my list of things I need. I have enjoyed experimenting with keemuns but think I will steer clear of them for a while since they don’t seem to thrill me much…

The Assam in this one turned me off. It was my least favorite of the three I tried for breakfast.
lol – I like assams, but keemuns not so much…. :)
Hhhhmmm…….What is it about Keemuns your not crazy about? Oh, I just noticed this. NOT sounding like a broken record {what’s that?}, please try reducing steep time & temp. My Hao Ya B is better around 3:00-3:15 around 195. [Thinking to myself: ’ I know I deserve a bitch slap for all this repitition’. ://]
We all like what we like. Sometimes, it is just better not to fight it. I, of course, am totally in the Keemun camp. For me, Assam can be nice in blends.
Scott, I don’t know, but Jen is right. Why fight it, I’ll just drink what I like and not worry about the others. :)
Oh, I’m not fighting it…….tea is all peace and love. :)) …….and rainbows and unicorns. Haha!
Just keep hibiscus away from my palate.
Keepin the hi biscuits away from your pa late Scott!
