I had this one during a lovely breakfast at J. Christophers in Atlanta today. I was pleased that they had Harney and Sons teas as I really love Florence. Sadly, I couldn’t have anything caffeinated as I needed to go back to sleep before work overnight and this was one of two or three decaf options they had. Anyhow, this tea was in a bag and steeped in boiling water for about four minutes. The bag smelled like a tart berry blend prior to steeping. The steeped tea had a bit of a sour/tangy note in addition to the berry aroma and a deep red color in the mug. The taste was tart, tangy berries with perhaps a hint of apple, if these fruit were completely lacking in sweetness naturally. It wasn’t horribly unpleasant, but could have probably significantly benefited from a sweetener. I don’t drink many herbal teas, but this one was average to me. I’m glad I tried it, but nothing I’d order for myself to sip regularly.
