There are several teas I want to order from Harney and Sons but I won’t let myself until I sip down some more teas.
I got an email a few days ago from my husband. It was titled “Tea Disciple.” It turns out that a fellow he met at work has travelled extensively and loves tea from all over the world. He is presently drinking Celestial Seasonings Fast Lane as a replacement for coffee and wants recommendations for a good black tea blend with boosters like mate. Anyone know of some good ones? I recommended that he go to Tin Roof Teas and buy his mate and try some of their loose leaf black teas and mix it himself.
He mentioned that he had been in Sri Lanka and found some teas there that he loved, so I took my two high grown ones that I don’t care for and sent them to him. That reminded me that some of my other Ceylons are getting old. I need to drink them up. These past two days I have been drinking this one from the Fine Tea Wall at A Southern Season. You purchase these by the ounce and there is no minimum.
This is an enjoyable Ceylon, though I do like their Ceylon Extra Fancy even more, and I like Harney and Sons Kenilworth Ceylon and Ceylon and India teas more also. Once I sip this one down I will not be replacing it, but rather I will stick with the ones that I like better.
Hubby started out only wanting Ceylon teas with TONS of milk and sugar. Now he mostly drinks oolong, green, and white tea plain, so I have a big backlog of Ceylons to finish off! But it is a great problem to have! I was delighted when his tea tastes expanded and changed!

Don’t know about good quality, but since he’s already drinking Celestial Seasonings, they have a Morning Thunder that is black with mate. It’s been a looong time since I’ve had it but I seem to recall it having a punch.
Morning Thunder is pretty good. I’ve also wanted to try Fast Lane (also CS) but haven’t found it locally.
He may have ordered Fast Lane, since he mentioned that he had about a half pound to long ago. I can’t imagine any stores in my area selling it loose leaf. He may go in the Raleigh area a lot, but I don’t recall seeing it there either. Thanks for the recommendation on Morning Thunder, though. That may be just what he is looking for!
