A chocolate tea I actually like.

Wait.. what? How is this possible? I don’t care for hazelnuts, but the flavour is so mild here, and they go so well with the dark chocolate flavours in the tea.

First there was a duplicate, now there’s a triplicate. But not when I edit the post. Anyone else see that weirdness?

I see it tripled. Maybe wait a little while and then try to edit later? I had some weird stuff going on with removing teas from my shopping list the other day, but now it’s working fine.

OMGsrsly

Good plan!

Yeah I see it tripled. I wasn’t sure if you were just excited or Steepster was messing up. :P

OMGsrsly

Both, maybe? I mean… it IS tea.

OMGsrsly

Ahaha. Editing didn’t work again. Oh well!

Chizakura

Oh that’s funny, I thought it was done on purpose to really enforce your point, haha!

Glad you liked it though. :) Chocolate hazelnut… :D I’ve been curious about Harney for a while. Is their shipping to Canada reasonable?

OMGsrsly

It’s $15 flat rate for up to $50. Most of their teas come in tins, and are REALLY reasonable, so the $15 doesn’t seem like it’s too bad. Better if you can share with someone, but I’d pay it. :) I haven’t ordered from them personally yet.

I’ve had a couple flavoured blacks, and I’d say their teas are pretty good, nicely flavoured. Not the “best”, but pretty darn good. And so reasonably priced.

Harney Teas were my first “fine” teas. I still love their Keemun Mao Feng, Ali Shan, Boston, Rose Scented, Huang Shan Mao Feng, and Golden Monkey.

So far their flavoured black teas are better than a good portion of what’s available locally. A lot of the local shops purchase from the same suppliers, so they’ll only have a few different teas. H&S also has tins! With shipping, the prices are similar by weight, which is fine with me. I can’t always afford Butiki or Verdant or stuff from the specialty shops (There’s an Assam supplier here, but they only do mail order!).
