drank Kenilworth by Harney & Sons
91 tasting notes

Some mornings as I stand before the gaping maw of the seemingly endless cavern that is my tea pantry I am confounded at making a choice. What am I in the mood for today? On those indecisive days I go for my old faithful – Kenilworth Ceylon from Harney. The long, dark dry leaf is lovely. The heavenly Ceylon fragrance beckons me to be brewed. And this brew never fails. The ruby liquor is gorgeous to behold. The aroma is an oaky, loamy spice. The flavor is brisk yet ultimately mellow – Suitable for breakfast or afternoon tea. Kenilworth has a definite honey taste with notes of toasty oak and spice. There is a lovely delicate hint of cocoa too in this sweet melange. Stands up beautifully to milk and sugar. Kenilworth is a classic tea that I am always glad I decided to brew up. Especially on my indecisive days – Like today!

Flavors: Cocoa, Honey, Loam, Oak, Spicy, Toast

“Anyone who has used that comforting phrase ‘a nice cup of tea’ invariably means Indian tea.”
- George Orwell

Darjeeling is the tea that inspired me to begin my beautiful journey through the wide world of tea and will always reign supreme in my tea pantry! My first tea love, so to speak. I positively adore a truly great Darjeeling such as a good muscatel second flush. Autumn flush Darjeeling, I believe, has been greatly under appreciated. Darjeeling autumn flush Gopaldhara Red Thunder Gold that I purchased through What-Cha is the best tea of any kind I have ever had the pleasure of drinking! I am most definitely a Darjeeling dude!

Other than my much beloved Darjeeling, teas that I especially enjoy are fine estate Assam teas such as Assam Dikom Estate or fine Ceylon estate teas – low, mid and high grown. I have a great love for Earl Grey which is my main go to tea. Other favorites are rose, vanilla, almond, caramel, spice and stout English Breakfast teas.

I have a fondness for most herbal teas – A complete rooibos fanatic! I’m very fond of camomile too. However, I absolutely detest hibiscus!

Blacks and herbals are my main go to teas. I have become quite British in my tea habits – My favorite guilty tea pleasure is Darjeeling with milk and honey as King Charles III takes his.

I try to purchase organic tea whenever possible.
