Okay yeah, Harney had a Leap Year sale so I splurged. Did I really need more tea? No, not really. I could build a fort out of all my Harney tins. But there was a sale, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
It’s got that Harney chocolate tea taste, but much lighter than their chocolate black tea, or any of their other chocolate-flavored tea blends like Florence or Soho. Other than that, there’s a bit of toastiness from the hojicha. Dos it really remind me of tiramisu? No, not really. If I didn’t know better I’d just assume it was a chocolate-flavored tea and nothing else.
I do like it though. I could see myself going for it when I want something light and sweet, and not one of my heavier teas. Probably in the middle of the afternoon and not so much first thing in the morning when I need something good and caffeinated.
Off to break out Code Vein again, since I bought the season pass. :D

Oh cool. I just noticed that Harney has a Tournament of teas type thing on their site. Unfortunately, there aren’t many on the bracket that I would consider to be their best teas. My favorites, at least from older harvests: Hot cinnamon sunset, Paris, Tower of London, Golden Monkey, Indian Nimbu, Vanilla Comoro, Matcha iri genmaicha
Actually, here are brackets I would have came up with, even though some of these teas are gone now :D
Paris vs. Tower of London
Indian Nimbu vs. Matcha Iri Genmaicha
Golden Monkey vs. Tippy Yunnan
Hot Cinnamon Sunset Vs. Valentine’s
Yellow Fairy vs. Wenshan Baozhong
Vanilla Comoro vs. Roasted Buckwheat matcha
Nahorhabi Full Leaf Assam vs. Vieux Paris
Dragon Pearl Jasmine vs. Green tea with Coconut
