I ordered a sample pouch of this along with a gift for a family member. For some reason, this past year all of the Harney sample sizes always seem to be sold out. This is disappointing since I’ve never had issues ordering in the past. Anyways this was one of maybe three teas that weren’t sold out in this size.

This one ended up tasting a bit oversteeped but I remember that from previously trying it. I ended up adding some oat milk to it and it definitely helped it taste less bitter/oversteeped. I don’t usually add milk to teas but the flavors do still come through somewhat. There is a faint chocolate flavor and maybe a tiny bit of coconut. (if your a fan of Soho this one is similar especially with milk added)
Before I added the oat milk I could taste some of the floral notes as well.
This tea is a bit too finicky for me and I don’t really think the flavors blend well here but that could just be because of the base. I didn’t love the coconut flavor in Soho and it seems to be the same one used here.

This tea is an odd one so I’ve been putting off writing a note for it but might as well try to describe it. There is a lot going on in this one. I drank this without any milk or sweetener. This tea seems Turkish inspired to me with the combo (pistachio rose, mint, and apple) The apple is tangy and prominent/ as well as the rose hips.
It’s not something I personally would repurchase necessarily (I have two bags of it that I was gifted) I just don’t think it’s a flavor combo I would reach for but I do see how the ingredients fit together. August Uncommon is one of my favorite tea companies because they offer some really unique blends.
