I ran out of the Queen. I wasn’t out for long, thank goodness. Harney and Sons had an awesome sale and I got a new tin. When it arrived I opened it and inhaled deeply. No, it isn’t a competition grade…anything. It is the quintessential daily tea. And I love it. It takes milk and sugar well, but I drink it plain. It soothes and comforts. It smells fruity and rich.
I live in the Sandhills of North Carolina, in the hottest city of the state with humidity out the wazoo. But tonight we are getting a taste of fall with lows around 63F. It is 65F right now at 1:38 am and youngest and I sat out on the porch until we got goosebumps on our arms so we could come back in and enjoy tea with hot, buttered toast.
Tomorrow morning I will probably mix the Queen with Rose Scented for a gentle breakfast.
This is living. And now it is time for bed. Long live the Queen.

I also live in Raleigh, do you always simply order your tea online directly from Harney and Sons or do you find places in town to purchase it?
Long Live the Queen!
May her reign be blessed! : D

The Fresh Market carries a few loose leaf and Target and Barnes and Noble have a bit in sachets, but mostly I order them online.
