This weekend we will be featuring a flight of teas favorited by a friend of ours here at the Millerton store.  Lindsie will shortly be climbing the Harney ladder, and moving to the factory.  Here are some of her favorites!

Hong Tao is a new Keemun that has arrived.  It is a bit more medium bodied than our current Keemun selection (Hao Ya ‘A’, and Hao Ya ‘B’).  Delicious notes of bittersweet coco, and toasty grassiness make this tea a current staff favorite. Balanced flavors and body are sure to please in this Chinese black tea.

Fenghuang Shuixian is not only one of Lindsie’s favorites, but a tea that is enjoyed by Michael and the rest of the Harney staff quite a bit as well.  This Oolong style tea is bursting with peach and apricot flavors.  It has a slight spice that balances out the tea wonderfully. The leaves are large and twisted, and have a wonderful russet color.  A must have for your Oolong collection.

Soho blend, created by Emeric Harney, is a black tea aimed to please.  Coconut, vanilla, and chocolate come together to make this a favorite combination of many customers.  Perfect to enjoy after a nice dinner, or just to cure the sweet tooth anytime.  In addition to tea leaves there are also amaranth flowers in the blend, creating a tea that appeals to all the senses.

Soba, a roasted buckwheat tisan, is a great caffeine free option on flight this weekend.  A common drink in Japan, this is a perfect toasty option for this time of year.  Simple and satisfying.
