246 Tasting Notes
It’s probably safe by now to say I don’t like any of the Harney berry flavored teas. Or the fruity black teas. It feels similar to the back currant, Paris type teas and I’m just tired of that flavor. Doesn’t really taste of cranberries or almonds, just a bit like so many of their other teas. Luckily my sister liked it, so I gave her my tin.
I never found a way to enjoy this one. I gave the rest of my tin to my MIL.
I used to love it but there is some new ingredient they are using that is putting me off. I gave mine away, too. I think there is an artificial vanilla that smells like mildew.
Oh no! Sad to hear it changed, wish I could have tried the original (it seems so many changed have lately). It tastes really similar to the Paris tea, it definitely could be the vanilla that is off putting
Got this free when I bought a tea and had tea at Nina’s in Paris. We did a day trip, one day to to roam the city and another for Disneyland Paris. It was a great experience and I would recommend it. We got to try the cake Marie Antoinette ate and they had some replicas of her shoes and nice portraits. Overall its a decent Earl Grey. I enjoyed it. Not my fave but top three.
This tea used to be my absolute favorite Earl Grey when they used a Keemun base. It was exquisite. Then they switched to Ceylon. sobs
Ooh that sounds better for sure! I wonder if thats why they were giving it away, they gave a tin to everyone that bought tea or sat in. Ill have to keep my eye out for an Earl Grey with Keemum.
Fortnum & Mason uses Keemun for their base. I think there are some other companies that do as well, but I can’t recall which ones right off hand!
Thank you! I will definitely be on the lookout since it’s one of my faves :)
Ive been horrible at checking this site, but wanted to come on here and review the apricot tea. I should
Probably stop trying the fruit flavored black teas from Harney as I never have luck with them. This tastes a little floral, not necessarily of Apricot. Ot just comes across as a flavored tea with flavoring rather than a pleasant tea that is blended perfectly. Was not really a fan.
I haven’t given up on trying more expensive tea’s…. Although I think I should. I just dont seem to have much luck with them. It has an unpleasant taste to me, not sure why! Cant really explain what I found so unenjoyable. Don’t oversteep, it goes really bitter!
This has been on my want to try list for a long time. I don’t see many tea from African unless they are red bush tea. First time I had this I loved it, can taste all the fruit honey notes, I think subsequent brews I didn’t brew it up right due to time. Worth trying though…
