This is another tea that I took to my neighbor to introduce him to a good “starter” collection of teas. It is very smooth and sweet, has no bitterness or astringency, and is mild yet flavorful. The green tea base is well balanced with the fresh pineapple flavor, which is very refreshing.
My neighbor liked it very much, but was really taken by the puerh we drank. He actually had a friend pick up the puerh from the Vitamin Shop as a thank you gift to us for helping him while he is recovering.
I had no idea that the Vitamin Shop carried so much tea! He used to be the manager there and started naming a lot of teas that they carry – teas I have been buying out of town because I had no idea there was a local source! I need to go over there and check out the selection for myself.
Humm now you have me thinking I need to check stock at my local health food stores!
I’ve checked my local stores! they carry Numi and other bagged teas but not Harney! lucky you!
Indigo: it was the Numi puerh that was picked up at the Vitamin Shop, rather than the Harney! I didn’t state it clearly, I guess! Unfortunately, Barnes and Noble is the only place for Harney here, and it is in sachets. :( Thank goodness for mail order!
