Another morning, another cup of Apricot tea. It makes me smile when I am trying to rub the sleep out of my eyes.

Long day and a long meeting to start off the morning. So i chose this today for my travel mug. I love the sweet and tart flavor of the apricot with the black tea. It awakens my senses. I also noticed this morning that i am close to finishing my 7oz tin which is exciting!

One of my favorite before bed teas. Nice smooth, mellow flavors to get you ready to snuggle up in bed.

Another pot of White Vanilla Grapefruit this morning. And today, I tasted the grapefruit. It’s in the aftertaste. It leaves a nice, clean slightly citrus taste on your tongue. This gives me even more reason to love this tea. :)

Finally picked up some more of this tea. I’ve missed it in my cup. (or teapot as it is nowadays) The flavors are so nice together. I always seem to miss the grapefruit in it. I know it is there because the vanilla isn’t as dominant as it could be. Maybe I need to steep it longer.
I am still trying to find the perfect brew time for white teas. This brew was 3 min. Any Suggestions on how long white tea should be brewed?

This is one of my favorite teas. I really enjoy how the flavors interact with each other. Neither the vanilla or the grapefruit is too strong so it leaves you with a nice mellow blend. it’s one of my favorite teas to drink at night as it gets me in the mood for sleepy time.

Though lighter this season, our Fenghuang still is smooth and delicious as always! The light liquor and body let the sweet flavors of apricots and peaches trickle over the tongue while the aroma is just a hair more floral than you’d expect. Great way to warm up and get started on this cold, blustery morning on Broome St!

OMG. I think I freaking love this. This sample was the last one I tried. I was a bit skeptical that I wanted to drink red hot flavored tea. I opened the package tonight and it smelled amazing! And it tastes just as good as it smells. I don’t know how it tastes just like a red hot candy, but it does.

I did add too much sweetener to it and I’ll have to watch that next time. I only added a small amount of agave nectar, but apparently it only needs a smidge.

I think I love Harneys! Already planning another order as soon as I can afford it.

I loved this when I had a sample of it. Now that I have a whole tin, I feel very meh about it. Maybe the sample was from a batch that was better? It’s still good, I’m just not doing any cartwheels about it and there is no driving force to make this tea.

That sounds a terrible situation to be in! I “advise” (:D) shoving it in the back of the cupboard and forgetting about it for a month or two so you can re-discover it. Sometimes that works wonders! : )

Kristin

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking of trying to trade my co-worker for 1/2 of it for some more of that coffee almond.

Uniquity

Also a good plan, as long as you end up with tea that you like!

Ah dear Florence, I’ve missed you so. I’ve been thinking about you ever since my sample ran out. I think I ❤ you.

I ordered a sample of this with my order from Harney & Sons and I’ve been dying to try it. I was worried that the tea flavor would overpower the chocolate and hazelnut flavors that I really wanted to taste but I shouldn’t have worried. This tea is magically awesome. Like Tagoti said, I don’t think I’d want to drink it every day, as it is pretty rich, but it is a great treat.

The chocolate and the hazelnut flavors are clearly present as well as a smidge of a coffee-like flavor. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors take turns leading the show which makes for a fun and complex cup of tea. There is no bitterness at all. It’s a very smooth cup.

Arrived at the shop early to enjoy the calm and catch up! Brewed some of this delicious Assam to go with the moment. The big body and briskness are mellowed by the golden tips, giving it a nice wooden honey like flavor. Mmm. Day 2, here we come!

Enjoyed a cup of this with some Lupicia’s Earl Grey Honey today. I noticed it was sweeter, but didn’t notice a stronger earl flavor. I’ll pay more attention next time. I drank this cup quickly as it was freezing in my apartment!

I love the aroma this tea produces while steeping. It smells like walking into a high end spa. The rose is fragrant and mixes nicely with the bergamot. The bergamot surprisingly doesn’t take on any over the top floral notes, it plays nicely in the background. The rose is a beautiful rose. I enjoy sipping on rose teas when I need a nice relaxing “me” break. This tea definitely provides that relaxing metaphorical sigh of relief my body needs. Ahhhhh.

I had a sample of this in my cart on Harney and Sons. Based on this review I am now changing that to a tin!

drank Ginger's Oolong by Harney & Sons
310 tasting notes

I love this tea. I ordered a sample size of it and now I am thinking I’ll have to order a tin. It’s dark oolong, if that’s your thing (and it happens to be the kind of oolong that I like). It has a nice mellow ginger flavor in the background; more of a candied ginger flavor than a fresh ginger. It’s cold and dreary here today and this tea is perfect for the day. It reminds me of something…

I’ve been meaning to try this one – I love dark oolongs AND ginger!

Kristin

Definitely get some!

There are not many teas that I order over and over and over again, but this one is a constant in my tea cupboard. This is my third time ordering this one. This time I ordered the 50 tea bag size (and filled up my other two tins). I drink this ALL the time.

It’s -8F right now and the low tonight is expected to be -19. Seems like a perfect night for Vanilla Comoro.

Nichole/CuppaGeek

After all of your reviews of Harney & Sons, I seriously have to pick some up. Since I’m snowed in again today. . .I guess its a good tea online shopping day!

Kristin

Yeah, I’ve liked everything except the Birthday Tea. Florence and Vanilla Comoro are my favs.

Uniquity

I’ve got some Vanilla comoro coming from Meaghann and I am SO excited to try it. I’ve already got a plan in the back of my head to order either the 50 ct teabags (convenience) or a pound of loose (always awesome). Haven’t even tried it yet!!

This tea has become an evening favorite. When I first got tried it, I was “meh, it’s pretty good” but had no plans to order it again. Now I drink it almost every night and I am down to 2 teabags. And, I just placed an order for another tin. They must put crack in this.

Another snow storm about to hit so I am sitting on the couch, with a cat in my lap, drinking tea and reading a book. This tea is an excellent evening pre-snow-storm tea.

Tried JacquelineM’s suggestion of less water per teabag tonight. I used a smaller 8oz teacup with one teabag. I think it was much better. The aroma and taste now match! I could now see this one becoming a favorite.
