I gave this one a second try this morning. With an appropriate steep time, the berry flavors come out more, very subtle and just a little sweet, and as the official description says, reminiscent of fruit preserves. The honey is not as apparent as it had been when I oversteeped it. The black tea base is very clear and robust, with a small degree of astringency which isn’t too bad.
I do like this blend, even though it isn’t as memorable as Paris had been. Harney and Sons seem to know what they’re doing with their black tea blends.
