I do wish there was more information about what kind of tea is in this blend. Ah, well. Maybe someone with a more educated palate than I can identify. :)
I finally saw Hugo Tea in a local shop. I had stopped by this place before looking for it and there wasn’t any. When I stopped in for another reason a few days ago, they had a whole line of it on the shelf!
This is pretty good. Strong and warm. I have tried it with 2 different steeping times – 4 minutes and 2 1/2 minutes. At 4 minutes, it got a bit harsh, in my opinion. At 2 1/2 minutes, it was good, but maybe a bit lacking? I think have yet to find the sweet spot with this one. Maybe more leaf at 2 1/2 minutes. I like my teas hefty. :)

Nicole, Have you also had an opportunity to taste Organic Morning’s Journey?
Yay!
I have not, looseTman. I saw it at the store, but wasn’t going to get any new teas… so I limited myself to this one. :)
I was just ogling some of the tins of Hugo Tea Company yesterday at a grocery store and added them to mental list of ‘must try’ so now I am even more intrigued
Ooo… which grocery store? I have to go a bit out of my way to get to Green Acres.
Hen House over in Leawood had some of their lovely little tins.
Hi Everyone,
It’s nice to see/hear all the chatter :-), especially from all these KC tea-drinkers.
The new tins (the taller, copper ones) will be in virtually all grocers in the city by the end of year. The old tins (the short, silver ones) are in a few Hen Houses and other specialty stores.
The teas are all completely different for the new version because we were able to dig deep and make more significant investments in getting our organic teas.
Morning’s Journey is quite popular, but we didn’t continue it for this year—mostly from supply issues at the farm and because of pricing. We truly weren’t making anything from it.
The good news is that Full-Steam has replaced it very well. Full-Steam is more malty but less citrusy. It is a blend, but only of teas from Yunnan Province. This makes it deeper and more chocolat-y/honey-y than Morning’s Journey.
Thanks sincerely for all your support!
Cheers,
Tyler
Thanks for the OMJ / Full-Steam comparison. I like your Full-Steam image.
