serendipity17Harney Teabags
Chamomile
Harney Samples (2019)
Apricot tasty, but how will the flavor shift with time?
Big Red Robe
Harney Small tin (2018)
Lunar New Year Huge leaf expansion. supposed to be oolong + lychee & lemon but I mostly get ginger
Kim Tuyen Black " Vietnamese tea combines the best of both worlds for an unforgettable infusion. Visually, the brew resembles a black tea; steep the leaves, however, and you'll find a beautifully tropical aroma full of character with the subtle and silky body and fruity qualities of an exquisite oolong. Second brew is best.
Harney Large tin (mostly 2018)
Peach Iced Tea nice peach flavor and pleasant tea base. Fifteen Minute Brew Time! I don't need to rebuy, but do not regret this purchase.
East Frisian my favorite of the last Harney order; softer than Irish Breakfast. I like this specifically better than Malachi McCormick and Brigitte's.
Ambessa Lingonberry Green underwhelming, vaguely tangy
Holy Mountain Trading Company (2018)
Black [Amaranth] Globe: Qian Ri Hong
Purple Leaf Tea brews up murky purpley-brown, tastes between a green and an oolong.
