1112 Tasting Notes
Yummy spices, a great change of pace, but a little weak after having some other roobois chais which are more robust. I think next time I am going to make it with 3 bags for 16 oz water. Not cost effective, but I bet it will be super delicious, because I do like the spices used in this one.
Preparation
Feeling throat scratchy – hope it’s just allergies! I thought Earl Grey Supreme would help me out of my doldrums, and it did – to a point. I was craving something sweeter after a cup, so I added a pinch of Rosy Earl Grey and mmmmm! I think I’m going to drink this alllllllll day :)
Preparation
Had this because I didn’t want to bore you guys with another Vanilla Comoro entry ;) and I though it would go well with the remaining butter cookies with chocolate tops. It was quite good! I’m still getting a little chemically taste, but it’s a very drinkable tea. I have about a teaspoon left of my sample, and I think I will mix it with some chocolate tea I have for a sort of “half-caf” concoction one night :)
Preparation
They should rename “Vanilla Comoro” to “Jacqueline’s Tea” and call it a day.
(said in best Sunset Boulevard voice) “All right Mr. Harney, I’m ready for my close-up!”
Have you tried Harney’s Midsummer Peach? Not quite as good as Vanilla Comoro, but a nice decaf fruit flavored tea. I think my fave decaf list is Vanilla Comoro, Midsummer Peach, and Harney’s Decaf Ceylon. I am starting to be able to taste that light chemical taste in the others. :(
SinplyJenW – I’ll have to put that on my list for the next Harney order! Thanks for the rec – I love peachy teas!
I have some sachets, and I could pop some in the mail for you.
I saw you ask about Rosy Earl Grey. Have you tried it yet? I can send you some of that in exchange if you’d like?
I would not mind trying the Rosy Earl Grey if I knew I could get more (I hate it when I get attached to something and it is no longer available….I still have not gotten an email response of any kind from three weeks ago when I asked about availability!). You know, I have emailed Harney asking when Golden Monkey would be back in stock (it is Septemeber, in case you were wondering!) I would love a small sample of it, if you have some to spare. I want to compare it to the Golden Monkey I have, so that I will be ready to order from Harney in the Fall!
You got it! I’ll get it out end of week/early next week!! I am very glad to know about when Golden Monkey will be back! Thank you!
(I bet Rosy will be back – I’ll throw a little in – maybe you’ll hate it and then you won’t have to worry :)
LOL…. I will probably mail out soon. I am headed to my sister’s to visit my 7 mo niece in a few days. It is my kid’s only cousin on my side of the family, and they are quite smitten with her!
I just had a friend mention she was looking for Midsummer Peach! She loves it, and I offered to put it on my order since Barnes and Noble doesn’t carry it anymore!
I needed something good to go with my breakfast (bonus picture of my breakfast:
http://www.spo.gs/RetroCamera.html?img=cIip It’s a lemon curd muffin with coconut shavings I made with hardly any sugar and…olive oil! You’d never know – they’re very delicious!) and the Emperor came to mind. It can do no wrong, so I was confident it would pair well with this slightly unusual muffin. Yup, super yummy, and will provide all the good roasty flavor and get up and go I need for the last work day of a very intense week!
Preparation
Those muffins look wonderful - easy enough for a kitchen schmo like me to attempt?
Super easy – 2 bowls – that’s it! Here is the recipe:

I made them in a muffin tin and not a popover pan. The muffin directions on on the bottom. I used 1/4 cup sugar since I figured the lemon curd and coconut was already sweet, and they were plenty sweet for breakfast for me w the reduced sugar.
