246 Tasting Notes
This blend is nice; it’s not a favorite but I’ll drink it. It vaguely reminds me of Paris by Harney and Sons because I didn’t pomegranate at all. It’s a shame, I like pomegranates. Though it has that touch of vanilla that Paris has but its just tannic and bitter, unlike Paris which is smooth and creamy.
Flavors: Artificial, Berry, Bitter, Burnt, Tannic, Vanilla
Um… LOVE this blend! I was very hesitant because it smelled very sweet because of the apple, pumpkin, and caramel flavor. However, is so delicious. When you first sip it, you get the apple-y bit of the apple pumpkin muffin. Then, when you keep sipping you pick up the mild pumpkin bread notes with a hint of maple. Maybe it’s just the caramel but I get apple maple pumpkin bread without any spice. I really enjoyed it, I will likely be grabbing another bag before it retires in November.
Flavors: Alcohol, Apple, Bread, Caramel, Icing, Maple, Pumpkin
This blend is definitely wine-y, let’s be clear… I’m not a merlot or red wine drinker, I’m more of a White Russian kinda gal. However, this is a great “mocktail” blend to drink with friends so I don’t feel left out! I do like this one, it reminds me of flat kombucha maybe?
Flavors: Alcohol, Berry, Black Currant, Hibiscus, Red Currant, Red Wine, Sour, Tangy, Tannic, Tart
I like this blend, please don’t get me wrong. It’s nice but I don’t get pistachio orange cookie from it. I think the pu-erh base and the Dragon pearls take over, the citrus note is only noticeable in the scent that wafts off the cup but the pistachio note is vaguely there. That being said, it’s a nice cuppa to wind down with. Would I get it again? I’m not sure. Will I finish the bag? Yes, absolutely!
Flavors: Citrus, Earth, Musk, Nutty, Smoke, Tea
Gongfu session time! For the first time in a while, I’ve finally sat down to have a proper tea session whilst still doing homework, dreary and boring I know…
This pu-erh was pretty nice, not my favorite from White2Tea but it was nice to wind down with as I did my homework in our covered porch listening to the early fall rain. Something about drinking a nice Pu-erh, studying Greek Mythology, and listening to The 1975 is so peaceful to me. Even though it brings me a ton of stress, I love school haha!
Flavors: Earth, Paper, Tea, Wet Wood, Wood
This blend is tart and hibiscus-forward, if you’re not into that it’s not for you. However, I think it complements the cranberry and apple really well. I think it is a perfect blend to perk up with on this cool rainy day we’re having here in NY.
Flavors: Apple, Cranberry, Hibiscus, Red Wine
I was a little worried when I got this blend, I’m not going to lie. I am not typically a fan of Harney and Sons’ Pumpkin Spice but this blend is not that at all! It’s a pumpkin (without the spice) black tea with some spices along with vanilla and maple flavors. This blend tastes like a hot cuppa paired with some freshly baked pumpkin bread. It’s super yummy, buttery, and somehow light at the same time. I think I may need to grab some more before it sells out, plus the tin is gorgeous!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cream, Icing, Maple, Pumpkin, Whipped Cream
This sounds much better than all the ubiquitous pumpkin spice varieties that pop up this time of year.
I have been hoping to see a review of this one because I don’t want it if it is just ginger and clove! This sounds tasty, so it is a someday tea when I finish off a few more in my cupboard.
It’s super mild and delicious! 10/10 reccommend
