Okay yeah, Harney had a Leap Year sale so I splurged. Did I really need more tea? No, not really. I could build a fort out of all my Harney tins. But there was a sale, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

It’s got that Harney chocolate tea taste, but much lighter than their chocolate black tea, or any of their other chocolate-flavored tea blends like Florence or Soho. Other than that, there’s a bit of toastiness from the hojicha. Dos it really remind me of tiramisu? No, not really. If I didn’t know better I’d just assume it was a chocolate-flavored tea and nothing else.

I do like it though. I could see myself going for it when I want something light and sweet, and not one of my heavier teas. Probably in the middle of the afternoon and not so much first thing in the morning when I need something good and caffeinated.

Off to break out Code Vein again, since I bought the season pass. :D

Oh cool.  I just noticed that Harney has a Tournament of teas type thing on their site. Unfortunately, there aren’t many on the bracket that I would consider to be their best teas.  My favorites, at least from older harvests: Hot cinnamon sunset, Paris, Tower of London, Golden Monkey, Indian Nimbu, Vanilla Comoro,  Matcha iri genmaicha

Even though my profile picture’s the worgen crest, rest assured my heart belongs to the Horde.

I’m a gamer girl who drinks a lot of tea. My tastes tend heavily towards black tea, though I won’t turn down a nice green or white either.

I stay away from most herbals because far too many of them have hibiscus. I find hibiscus disgusting. Nor am I a fan of rooibos; the taste has to be pretty heavily masked for me to drink it. Usually if I’m drinking a tisane it’s something purely floral like lavender, or rose buds, or chrysanthemum.

I’ll almost always put sugar in my tea, unless it’s something that really doesn’t work well with it (I will never ever add sugar to lapsang souchong again) or something that honestly doesn’t need it or would be ruined by it, like most unflavored greens or whites.
