I pout and I pout!
Oh Misters Harney!

I bought a tin at the Harney store in Soho after it sold out online. You could check the shops?
Oh, and you could get a few ounces of Tower of London, too!
That’s a good idea. I’m going to try and sit on my hands and be patient for just a little while, because I am hoping that it will be part of the Fall teas. And I’m a brat and have so many other teas to enjoy – and I shouldn’t be a baby :) :) :) but I am! :) :) :)
I hope you can sit more still than I can. I fail at trying to wait. ;)
Your poem wonderfully captures my feelings about this too…especially since the silly Postal Strike means I can’t reliably order from Upton Teas right now, and that was my consolation for there not being any more Golden Snail at Harneys!
Jacqueline – Can I copy/paste your poem to their facebook wall and see if we get a reply? :)
Sure! Why not ;) Let me know what happens!!!!
and I hope they write their reply in verse too!!! :)
I posted it! And I added this comment: We eagerly await your reply! Our dwindling stores make us cry! Royal Wedding, the Monkey, and now the Dear Snail, If they dohn’t come soon, you will hear us all wail!
But without the typo!
ashmanra – I love it!!! Eeee!
Ode to the Golden Snail. I don’t care if I’ve never tried it myself, I love any tea that inspires rhyming by default. :D
After reading your post, I must have this tea…
Sadly, I don’t think Harney has it in stock :( We are all pining for it!
Also, ashmanra said the new offering Hunan Golden Twist at Harney has some of the same delightfulness as Golden Snail!
I will look for it….
