Thank you SO MUCH Boychik for sending me a sample of this one! I REALLY wanted to try it! Fig and lemon on Harney’s black tea base just sounded delightful. However, I’m not sure if this is the base they would usually use. Or maybe my taste is changing… it seems to have a bit of that cardboard flavor that I notice in other black teas. I hope I don’t notice them in the other blends now. There is a sweetness and fruitiness to the tea but I’m not sure I’d actually call it fig. The lemon is missing for me too. The magic I expected just isn’t here, as I love Harney’s Paris and Tower of London which I’d rather reach for. Of course I’m happy to have tried this one!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 tsp // few min after boiling // 3 min

Its not bad, just not my style anymore. It was last and I’m not going to restock. You have to check if you still like Paris and Tower of London. I don’t anymore.
Well, the Ovation tea I’m drinking right now tastes like Paris because they were both stored in thin bags in a metallic pouch. It’s tasty so I guess I still like Paris. lol :D
