from this morning – lovely as always with milk and sugar. I really should drink this every morning. I certainly have enough of it…

added a bit of sugar and almond milk. It’s ok, but I think the thicker and more neutral dairy milk is better for bringing out the depth and richness of this particular blend…

The light lemony scent is present in the dry leaves, but when brewed is sweet and nutty.
The liquor is a beautiful amber. I was also thrilled to discover that what I thought was just a twig in my leaves was two leaves and a bud, which opened on steeping.

The taste is sweet and nutty like the scent, with a bright edge from the bergamot but no noticeable citrus flavor.

I added about 1.5 tsp white sugar and a healthy splash of milk (I’m a heathen I know). To me, most flavored black are better with sugar and cream/milk. I find them comforting.

Overall impression – I bought a tin of this tea because I enjoyed it so much at the tea house. I’m not disappointed!

This sounds right up my alley :) And I also love sugar and milk in earl grey-ish teas.

Gander

Mmmmm…. Sounds delicious! I think I’ve read reviews by others who also add sugar and milk. I’ve been reading only good (or at least above-average reviews) about this tea!

Jillian

Is your version a heavily fermented or a lightly fermented oolong?

Harney & Sons The Store

Hey Jillian! Tea actually isn’t normally fermented, the only fermented teas are Pu-erhs. Most teas are oxidized. Our Formosa Oolong is oxidized approximately 45%-60%, a bit more than most of our other brown oolongs. If it’s too oxidized for you I’d recommend checking out our Da Hong Pao or fruitier Fenghuang Shuixian!

Jillian

Yeah, oxidized was what I meant to say, sorry.

I’m not very familiar with the different types of oolongs so lately I’ve been experimenting with trying different types. This was one of the ones I’ve been eyeing actually – maybe on my next H&S order. ;)

Special Thanks to Ashley for sending me a little bit of this – I have missed it! This smells more hazelnut than I remember. I love the vibrant color of the liquor tho! Very nice! The taste is creamier than I remember and more nutty.
YUM

I finally got to try this thanks to Jacqueline!!!! I was ‘thinking’ Hazelnut and when I sipped it I was like YEAH, Hazelnut…but it tastes like Chocolate, too…well, duh, that’s because there is chocolate in it! LOL The nutty and chocolaty couldn’t be blended together more perfectly. YUM.

Ricky

I don’t normally like mint tea but the verbena keeps it more herbal and adds an interesting dimension. Usually I drink hot tea to be relaxed but this one is downright refreshing! I bet it would be good iced too.

Just found out that about Harney sachets – “Each sachet brews a 12oz cup of tea”
There’s nothing on the wrapper to indicate this – NO brewing info at all! No suggested temperature or steeping time or amount of water. Presumably you get that info if you buy the whole box, but these were singles/samples from a tea shop.
