From Harney & Sons

On Mike’s first trip to China in 1996, he visited the charming village of Hong Tao (Red Peach) in the hills outside of Keemun in the Anhui Province of China. It was great day, what a charming little village and they sure made lovely tea. Over the years, Mike forgot about this. So when this tea came to his attention again, he had to offer it.

Tea of the morning……

I am experimenting with sweeteners again. I did have some stevia from Trader Joe’s stashed back in the cabinet. I was doing pretty well cutting back on the Splenda, but I kind of think it eventually has to go, too. The stevia will help with the teas that are not as naturally sweet. One day I hope to take my tea without additions and love it that way. I am amazed how much my palate has changed since giving up sugar, grains and most sweeteners.

Anyway, this is always good. A solid Keemun. Smooth with a little smoke and cocoa. It would be worthy of restocking if they bring it back. I have about 7 oz. left.

Usual teapot method.

This new Chinese black is currently a staff favorite for the first tea of the day! Roasted notes of cocoa swirl in this Keemun. Flavorful and smooth, this tea is more medium bodied than the Hao Ya A and B.
