drank Golden Monkey by Harney & Sons
694 tasting notes

I received a sample of this from MzPriss. Thank you for sharing this with me.

I pulled out my 2 other Golden Monkey teas last night and did a comparison. I brewed all three brands the same way and sipped on each. I compared Teavana, TeaVire and Harney. Teavana’s is a tad on the weak side with more cinnamon notes. TeaVivre is pretty close to Harney, but Harney for me, at least last night, packed a bit more of the chocolate/malty notes that make this tea delicious. I am really enjoying this type of tea right now. I am glad to have the opportunity to try all 3 side by side.

It always great to read direct comparisons tastings. Were the recommended brewing instructions the same for each or different?

Tamarindel

Yes! Glad you had the presence of mind to do this! I meant to, but I messed it up.

MzPriss

I <3 this one. Glad you liked it.

@looseTman – The brewing instructions were a little different for each. That would be another experiment. Brew each based on brewing instructions and compare.

I’d be very interested in reading your results of all three GM teas brewed per their recommended brewing parameters. Thanks!

I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
