Our Review

This is another version of the BLT (British Tea Legacy) Ceylon & India. It is the most elegant, which is fitting.

Light and Delicate

Average Review:

I agree with the response re: astringency. This tea will not stand overbrewing. I bought it for an afternoon tea, but I have found it to be too light to withstand milk and sugar. Upping the tea to water ratio or increasing brewing time causes bitterness. On its own and brewed lightly it is delicate and floral.

Lovely Tea Blend

Average Review:

One of our favorite of the Harney Blends -- a special treat. I serve this to guests for afternoon tea and receive many compliments. I prefer it, though, with the merest pinch of sugar and a dash of milk.

Careful on Your Timing

Average Review:

When I drink tea I seldom put anything in it to modify its flavor. Initially I found this tea too astringent for my taste, but when I reduced my brewing time down to 4 1/2 minutes the astringency disappeared and I loved its taste and bouquet. It is now my favorite every day tea. I have a tin of it both at work and at home. When I am ready for a quick cup of tea, particularly at work, this is the one I drink most often.

Very Strong blend

Average Review:

this blend has a very strong taste to it. it has the tendency to tase tart at times depending on how long you brew it. Try the sample size first.

Best breakfast tea

Average Review:

At the tasting room, one of the young and very knowledgeable sales staff recommended this blend after seeing the other teas I preferred that day. His advice could not have been better...without tasting it that day, I brought it home and fell in love with the complex flavors and just enough edginess(without sharp bite)to get my day started right. The flavor is full and round and lingers on the back of the tongue just enough to remind you of the satisfying experience. No need for sugar, honey, or lemon with this tea...enjoy the fullness and the delicate balance all by itself.
