I did mention that harney is 20% off for the holidays, right?>_> yeah so london fog is supposed to be earl grey with steamed milk..  like a latte, right?this stuff is black & oolong tea, bergamot oil, lavender, and vanilla flavor. I\’m excited to try it!I\’m a little worried about the steeping procedure (they recommend 212º…

I got the rebound sampler set from adagio earlier this week and finally got the chance to try one.I started with raja oolong since, even though it\’s not as cold anymore, I still like black spicy teas in cold weather.  even though it\’s an oolong, close enough imo. the raja oolong is pretty heavy on the…

before I order more I wanted to be sure I like it.so I made another round of hot cinnamon spice.still smells great.still tastes great.I\’m ordering more. steep time: 5 minssteep temp: 212º Fadded: 3 teaspoons of rock sugar SaveSave

I\’m fixing to order a tin of harney\’s hot cinnamon spice for the office and thought I\’d try another harney flavor before I make the purchase (in case I wanna grab more of whatever I try).I looked them all over, and it\’s fucking cold out, so I wanted to try a black tea that I…

this is elmwood inn\’s version of duchess greyit\’s ok.  I\’m kinda in a foul mood and I\’m not sure how much that\’s affecting my enjoyment of this tea./shrug steep time: 3:30 minssteep temp: 212º Fadded: 3 teaspoons of rock sugar

so, do you remember how great the hot cinnamon spice from harney was?well I do. in the move, I found some bags of cinnamon tea (black) by bigelow.and we all know how much I love bigelow.so I made a cup.  since I didn\’t know the age I decided to use two bags.  dry they didn\’t smell…

I\’ve had entirely too much sugar so I switched to a favorite – jade citrus mint!I finished off the last bit that was in the tin but luckily I\’ve got several bags of it.how fortuitous!(not really, I stocked up as soon as I heard about teavana) steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 170º Fadded: n/a

even with this tea being one of their bestsellers, I was still pretty hesitant about ordering it, but with 20% off I decided to take a gamble.it\’s delicious y\’all!for real!it smells like big red gum, so I was worried, but the taste is a bit more mild and really good.glad I took a chance. I also used…

after how fucking terrible that nutty granola crunch was, I haven\’t even wanted to approach my \”tea station\”but I\’m cold, and you can never truly go wrong with earl grey.unfortunately, there is still the stench of the nutty granola crunch (I left the package out) and it overpowered the sweet scent of earl grey. steep…

after how much sweetness I\’ve had today I wanted something that doesn\’t need anything added in.plus, to be perfectly honest, I don\’t think I\’ll be purchasing this guy again, and while I do have quite a few bags left I wanna move my vanilla chai into this guy\’s spot on the tea organizer. steep time:…

it\’s not bad, by any means, but I really expected it to taste better.I imagined the vanilla and the pumpkin spice would really complement each other, but instead, they seem to be battling it out./shrugstill good, just not what I had been hoping for. steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: 4 teaspoons of…

funny story,my mug keeps teas hot for quite a while, so I often have to wait for teas to become cool enough to drink.I\’m reading a book, and at some point I reach over for a swig of tea..oO(hrm…  this tastes like a milder earl grey)and then I remembered what tea I was drinking.lolthe leaves…

harney & sons is having a sale for black friday and I was on the verge of ordering a 4 oz tin of holiday tea when I remembered they sent me a bag of it.it\’s still too hot to drink but judging by the smell I don\’t think I\’ll be buying any more of it.we\’ll…

I always feel like twinings is really weak, plus I have a 13 oz mug rather than an 8 oz.so I double bagged it.def much stronger, and tastes much better, but it is a bit too strong now.I\’m thinking about adding half & half.but still, I like it much more than when single bagged. steep…

I was browsing r/tea and ran a search for earl grey to see what all those folks thought.several times people would mention harney & sons\’ earl grey supreme.I was on the verge of ordering some when it was time for a new pot,and guess what I already own?lolit is way better than taylors, btw.  much…

I\’m gonna make it an earl grey day.I love bigelow\’s earl grey, especially the smell that hits me when I tear open a packet.but I have a few different brands of earl grey, so I\’m interested in which is my favorite.I also recently discovered that bigelow has a loose leaf earl grey, that I am very…

I\’ve been drinking tea at work but since I\’m in a communal area I\’m not taking pics of my tea.I left the tropical green up there and while the first cup is always remarkably bitter I do enjoy it. of course, who doesn\’t enjoy the glorious earl grey?esp with a couple of almond biscotti(qq I\’m…

so double bagging has actually really improved this tea.I have a 14 oz mug and the bags are for 8 oz of water so it\’s not really surprising.I only had 5 bags left and have been so happy with double bagging that I decided to triple bag one mug so instead of 2 mugs with…

yay getting rid of teas~did not even have enough for a batch of this stuff, but I didn\’t wanna just throw the last bit away.I don\’t remember if I liked it when I had it last, but I\’m not optimistic as the first ingredient listed is \”cocoa kernals, \” with \”chocolate flakes\” listed shortly after….

I remembered to get pics this time!tea was still pretty bitter even though I lowered the water temp a bit.I brought the tin home to try it on my fancy kettle, so if it\’s still bitter it\’s just bitter tea. steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 165º Fadded: n/a also a pic of the finished product:

when I ordered from harney & sons they sent me a few samples.I had the chamomile and made the organic green for the bf.I had wondered if the reason I disliked the chamomile tea I\’ve had before is because celestial seasonings is a shit supermarket brand, and while the stuff from harney & sons was…

double bagged this bad boy because:1) was kinda weak the last time I had it2) the box is huge and I wanna get rid of it3) drinking it with two bags at a time cuts it down to only a zillion servings left with two bags it\’s actually quite nice – stronger flavor yet still…
