drank Holiday Tea by Harney & Sons
1711 tasting notes

This mixture of flavors in this tea is striking me as such an odd mix. Almond, chocolate, cinnamon… I should love it. The cinnamon is at the front of the sip where it dominates and lets a little of the chocolate peek out near the end. The chocolate dominates the finish and the almond is in there somewhere, but it’s kind of in and out. The chocolate tastes like the smell of scratch and sniff stickers. Not really chocolate, but what artificial recreations come up with to represent the flavor. It’s light, airy and perfume like. It’s unpleasant and it bothers my throat a little after the sip. There is a scratchiness that creeps in and it’s really weird. This is going in the get rid of bin. I’m not into it.

I don’t care for this one, either. Sorry you had to bin it.

I wonder if this is the same chocolate used in Florence?

Dustin

I don’t know. I’ll have to see if I got a sample of that one with my order and compare.

Lexie Aleah

I feel the same about this one. Not a fan of their chocolate flavoring it would seem after trying Soho as well.

I had one bag of this to try; had it all steeped, then a bug from an office plant decided to go swimming in it. Sounds like I didn’t miss much.

I recall not liking Soho much either.
That bug might have done you a favor! LOL!

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
