Ok, I just picked any desert because how do you choose? Which is why I love a really good high tea! No choosing, except for which one to try first. I love them all. But you are right, I do love most black teas with Earl Grey in all the 8 types you guys have, ( I own 7), as numero uno on my list. Currently drinking and enjoying Black Queen. It’s amazing! Relaxed me to the point I went into meditation. No kidding. It somehow makes your mouth FEEL hydrated, without feeling just wet from tea and your brain definitely finds a peaceful place. Yet, it didn’t slow me down. Did my bills while sipping it. Never felt so good about bills! Still, my comfort, wake me up in the morning or pretty much anytime is Earl Grey.

I’m a big herbal tea fan. I love to drink Yellow & Blue before I go to sleep, nothing more relaxing.

Well, Art teas is very me as I am an artsy artist though my absolute fave is Paris…..BUT I LOVE ME a Concert,love the muisc crowd vibe live, and can thrill to a smashing guitar with the best of ’em!
Rock on!🎸🎹🎙🎚🎻🎤🎶

Hello, my Personali-tea is Herbal! Which is totally what I usually go for! :)
August 07, 2019
fits me to a “tea!” =)
August 01, 2019
I am not surprised that I am suited for oolong teas. You never know what you are going to get with me! There is not a tea that I can’t drink. Of course I have favorites and I don’t usually drink a lot of green tea, but I am going to have to try more oolong teas!
July 30, 2019
Ha! I think I must have answered incorrectly. The quiz said my Personali-tea is white tea but my favorite Harney teas are Victorian London Fog, Paris, and Hot Cinnamon Spice. Maybe it’s telling me that in need to try some white teas!
July 30, 2019
Well, the quiz got my teas wrong too. However, maybe I should go in the direction that quiz suggested. Maybe my real personali tea has been repressed all these years. I will drink more green teas. Thanks for all your comments
July 30, 2019
Amazing – Jasmine Dragon Pearl is one of my favorites!
July 30, 2019
Your Personali-tea is Organic!
Cute you had me LOL.

The only thing that was right is that I’m generally a calm person. Otherwise, I’m a creature of habit, drink blacks and greens, and detest sweetened/fruited teas and tisanes. I only drink medicinal herbals when necessary. So I think the quiz needs a bit of work.
July 30, 2019
White tea is my least favorite type of tea. I usually drink Earl Grey Supreme, Boston or Paris…multiple cups a day!
July 30, 2019
I love a black tea with cinnamon and I love teas with lavender!
July 30, 2019
Fun. Definitely more my personali-tea than my personality—picking me as my absolute favorite tea (to my delight!) even if the personality description doesn’t sound much like me. I don’t think “spontaneity” is a characteristic anyone has ever ascribed to me. However, if you take the “is hard work” and “complicated” and “doesn’t really fit into categories” (as in some range of partway between green and black) aspects, then you’ve hit my personality!
July 30, 2019
I’m not an herbal tea girl. I prefer black teas. Earl Grey or English Breakfast. Love the Hot Cinnamon.
July 30, 2019
LOL! Nope, I’m black tea and oolong fan. But thanks for a little light fun in my day!
July 30, 2019
Black tea is definitely me! Most numerous in my cabinet!
July 30, 2019
Pretty good analysis of my personality. As for the tea, I tend to be a black tea drinker. Your “Boston” is one of my favorites and is in my tea cabinet at all times. I panic if I have less than a pound on hand. But, I will give the oolong another go, one of the ones suggested, and we will see what happens. That said, I love your teas!
July 30, 2019
Your personality traits were close to being right but I don’t like sweet tea. I have not tried the Royal Wedding Tea but I have tried the Wedding tea and liked it. I haven’t tried the other two – White Vanilla Grapefruit and Venetian Tiramisu. My husband and I both are loving the fruit flavored iced black teas – Peach, Black Currant and Passionfruit. I also love the Decaf Vanilla Comoro. I enjoy your samples to try new teas. We are new to Harney & Sons teas and are having lots of fun taste testing. We have given several as gifts.
July 30, 2019
I definitely enjoy the herbal teas as well as other varieties! It just depends on my mood and the situation at the time. Fortunately, Harney & Sons has an extremely wide variety of every imaginable tea to be enjoyed hot or cold, sweetened or not, loose or in sachets.
July 25, 2019
I have been drinking Hot Cinnamon Spice for years at breakfast. I started when I could no longer drink coffee. It is satisfying both winter and summer.
July 25, 2019
Completely off. I drink Earl Grey and various black tea blends. Herbals very rarely.
July 25, 2019
Since I AM an artist and I do like looking at the art teas, the answer was right on even though the questions didn’t always have the options I would have chosen and I prefer actually drinking black teas to those flowering ones. That said, I thought this was amazingly accurate with respect to my personality!
July 25, 2019
SIMPLY ADDICTING!!
July 25, 2019
My traits were spot on! It says I would most likely be a white tea person but I actually stick to Irish Breakfast. So, I’m going to give white tea another try but make it Harney’s this. Maybe it was the lesser quality tea I tried before. That was fun.
July 25, 2019
Wow! The part about attention to detail…..I was stunned. I am a documentation specialist. I was like, how did they know?
July 25, 2019
I have been purchasing your teas for several years now. I love all the H&S flavored teas and Paris is my favorite. It’s aromatic and oh so delicious!
July 25, 2019
I am a health nut and have been drinking your tea for years. No green tea ever. My every day tea is Hot, Cinnamon Spice which I really enjoy all year long. Thanks for your wonderful selection of teas!
July 25, 2019
Harney’s says I like white tea, this is not accurate. The first Harney tea I tried was Black Mango flavored. It is still my favorite after 15 years.
July 25, 2019
Yes! Spot on for me and Black Teas! My last order was Irish Breakfast, Darjeeling, and Queen Catherine. I’m fond of Paris as an afternoon treat, and London Fog is on my list to try with my next order! Malachi McCormick’s “Decent Cup of Tea” is also a beloved. The tea ritual in the morning, with loose tea, has guided me into my day for most of my life. No matter what the state of my own life or the world, my pot of tea and my first cup is something always right with the world.
July 25, 2019
So wrong! I hate herbals, don’t even count them as tea!
July 25, 2019
Fun quiz, but no thank you to the herbal teas. Irish Breakfast is my go-to tea every day, with milk and sugar – there’s nothing better!
July 25, 2019
You got it right. Paris tea is my absolute favorite tea, hot or cold. You have amazing teas, never disappointing.
July 25, 2019
How I like to spend my time varies with the season. The animals that I relate to were not necessarily in your quiz. None of these movies are quite what I would have liked to have chosen….But I love your teas, lots of them.
July 25, 2019
The Quiz was a bit of a lark but I couldn’t help but take it. I wish my entire life boiled down to answering 5 questions… Get it- Boiled down.
July 25, 2019
Yes, my Personali-tea is indeed sweet white tea, and the white teas listed are exactly what I drink every day! However, the little write-up of sweet personality traits is pretty funny, and not me at all. Actually, I’m an introverted writer and not a sweetie-pie who brings cookies to work (and enjoys incredible job security—ha!). Clever idea and fun to do, though. Refreshing as the teas, in fact. Hope I win!
July 25, 2019
I love matcha! It was so me, except for dressing in the latest trends. I appreciate the latest trends, but prefer more classic styles that stand the test of time. I do tend to be experimental in my art and with cooking.
July 25, 2019
There were not enough options for the categories. My favorite dessert is chocolate cake, brownies, or chocolate cookies. I don’t remember seeing 2 other options that the people I know would choose: pie and fruit. Part of the tea is right. I like to travel and try new food when I can, but I am not into keeping up with the latest fashions.
July 25, 2019
“Hooked on Harney” many years ago. The teas are of great quality and flavor. I drink brewed cold tea every single day. Its a staple in my diet. Totally right on!
July 25, 2019
My husband and I have tried many teas, but Harney’s Paris is probably our all time favorite!
Treat yourself and try it if you haven’t already. It is especially delightful with an afternoon pastry!
:-)
July 25, 2019
LOL…missed by a mile! But it was still fun to take the quiz. mwah! Love ya, Harney!
July 25, 2019
Sorry, Harney’s, You ALMOST got it right. My person-al-ty is black for sure, but it is specifically Earl Grey, either caffeinated or decafe. The other teas are good as well, and yours all delicious, but Earl Grey always hits the spot!
July 25, 2019
It said my Personali-Tea was herbal. WRONG! Firstly, herbal tea isn’t tea. It’s a tisane. And I will never again buy from Harney and Sons for not knowing the difference! (Unless I win the 50.00 gift card…then I may consider it…heh.) In all seriousness, that was a fun idea for a contest and I place orders with Harney and Sons regularly and will continue to do so.
July 25, 2019
I’ve never had white tea before, I will have to try it. I do have several Harney & Sons teas, all of which are delicious, maybe I’ll order a white tea soon.
July 25, 2019
Yes, health nut describes me to a tea. I prefer “organic” over not and I LOVE Assam, it’s one of my favorites. This was a fun quiz. Mahalo.
July 25, 2019
I love Harney & Sons teas. Especially the black teas with citrus or fruit flavors, like the Citrus Blend. Tower of London and Scottish Afternoon are perfect morning starts or the afternoon pick me up. However, this survey was way off! I have tried the white teas and they just are not for me. Interesting survey, but needs a little more work.
July 25, 2019
I love a strong smoky flavor, and your Lapsong Souchong is like a campfire in a cup! I love it, and drink about 5 cups of it daily!
July 25, 2019
Vanilla comoro <3
July 25, 2019
This is spo on! I am on the go and I do love my black tea! I always reach for it first thing in the morning.
July 25, 2019
Great product… thanks to my dear children sending me a gift box for my birthday.
July 25, 2019
Right traits, wrong tea. My favorite type is black loose leaf, but your Oolong still life photo is gorgeous.
I have a substantial collection of Harney & Sons teas and I enjoy all of them. They’re always highly recommended to friends and online.
However, no one has replied to my inquiries about black teas. New tropical and fruit flavor blends are needed. Unlike other tea companies, Harney had nothing new and enticing for spring and summer 2019.
I’d love to have some black loose leaf teas with natural flavor blends using honeydew melon, guava, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, mango, coconut, lime, vanilla, etc. ‘Caribe’ is good, but it’s very simple and showing its age.
July 25, 2019
The only thing you got right is that I am a consummate label reader. I wouldn’t drink any of the teas you recommend for me. Most of the questions didn’t have correct answers for me. I don’t even like animals, much less have a spirit one. There were no chocolate desserts. My favorite Harney teas are chocolate and vanilla; and chamomile for night time. I love Harney tea and have been a customer for about 3 years. You just didn’t read me right, but I don’t care. I only drink Harney teas. I wish you would make a salted caramel black tea to mix with the chocolate, as well as a salted caramel with no caffeine to mix with Chamomile in the evening.
July 25, 2019
the results are quite funny !! i do not really care for oolong tea. my favorite is Lady and Earl Grey …
July 25, 2019
You were right that I like black tea, but only Hot Cinnamon Spice not the others that
you recommended.
July 25, 2019
Nope, I guess my answers were not well thought out or maybe there were not choices that match my complicated personality. :) I love Cinnamon Spice tea in the winter and Paris is my other favorite. But thanks for caring.
July 25, 2019
The Personali-tea quiz was spot on. I had a cup of Victorian London Fog earlier today, maybe that influenced my answers somehow :)
July 25, 2019
I think your quiz is wrong too. My favorite Harney & Sons tea is Apricot. My ideal Saturday is waking up making a LARGE mug of tea and having a homemade muffin. I have a suggestion. How about offering a choice of a free sample with orders. There are several I’d like to try but I don’t really want to spend $3 on something I might not like. Thanks for listening!
July 24, 2019
You’ve got a great product…but also, This company is great about making tea drinking an art. I appreciate all the extras you add; it makes buying tea fun. thanks.
July 24, 2019
Nice contest idea.
July 24, 2019
Yummy
July 24, 2019
I have been drinking this tea for 3 years now, found it on sale at Target. Mainly because I found the packaging oh so pretty but was happily surprised that the tea was very good. I always recommend it to friends and family
July 24, 2019
Wow! You nailed my tea favorites instantly:-) I do try to drink teas with less caffeine more often than I give into my “Favorites”! But Darjeelings and Paris are hands-down favorites! Your greens are awesome, though, like the Bi Luo Chun, Gyokuro and Hubei Green and so many others!
July 24, 2019
They didn’t have my choices for most or all of them. Like Saturday morning is the same as every morning – a slow sipping of Irish Breakfast and a pastry. Favorite date (I don’t date anymore) would be a movie, or dinner out. Favorite spirit animal is a koala. So my type, which says I’m all over is actually the opposite – creature of habit, and I drink mostly all black teas, with a few oolongs and whites. I did a bad job of choosing alternate things on the questions! But it was fun. I used to be more like the person described when I was young. :-)
July 24, 2019
Sorry but the result is totally off :)))) I hate white tea or anything too sweet at all and much prefer dark deeply flavorful, almost bitter, beverages.
July 24, 2019
my all-time favorite will always be cinnimmon spice! i’m addicted to it!
July 24, 2019
Traits were spot on. Tea WRONG!! Earl Grey is my long time favorite!! Don’t care for any Oolong I’ve ever tried
July 24, 2019
my favorite tea is still cinnimmon sunset !! i can’t get enough of it!!!
July 24, 2019
Actually, if you check your records you’ll find I always order imfusioms. I love the Peach, the Mango. I adore French Verviene and Mother’s Blend. But I think the one I really enjoy most is Cherry Blossom
July 24, 2019
I’m looking forward to the test results.
July 24, 2019
Curious to see what you gleen from my answers. I just returned from a holiday abroad and my conclusion is that our Harney’s tea is better than any European tea I tasted! Thanks, Harney familly!
July 24, 2019
Love your tea, especially Paris!
July 24, 2019
I love Harney & Son’s teas and have been purchasing for years. Thanks for your excellent customer service and phenomenal variety of teas. Also, I appreciate you keeping your prices so reasonable for a high quality product!
July 24, 2019
Indigo Punch
Strawberry Kiwi Fruit
African Autumn This is what it picked, but no, mine is a good caffeinated black tea that stands up with milk & honey. HA!
July 24, 2019
Nope. I hate sweetened tea.
Now, your Earl Grey is easily my favorite.
July 24, 2019
Nah, you’ve got it seriously wrong. I’m an unscented black tea man. I’m allergic to kiwi. Strawberries will give me kidney stones. I dislike flavored teas be they herbal or actual tea. I like chamomile and rooibos. But that’s not tea, that’s pleasant flavored water. TEA is tea.
July 24, 2019
mmm.. naw, I’m not partial to oolongs. East Frisian is my personal fave, followed closely by CTC Assam and Amba Thieves. :)
July 24, 2019
I have been a Harney & Sons fan since 2001. Great flavors for me and make fantastic gifts.
July 24, 2019
White Tea is awesome! Love having it when we travel!
Of it has to Harneys👍
July 24, 2019
I have several Harney teas. One of my favorites is Hubei Green.
July 24, 2019
Bingo! Japenese Sencha is my morning choice!
July 24, 2019
None of the desserts would be my ideal dessert! My motto is that if it isn’t (something) chocolate it isn’t dessert!
July 24, 2019
I drink all the Harney & Sons teas they are delicious hot or cold we go to the restaurant all the time

I think they got it pretty well! I am unpredictable, and while my family love me dearly from 5 children to 12 grandchildren and so far 8 great grandchildren! So happy you have Scottish Morn ( since I am a proud Scot) However there may be some ( 3) who think I am a nut job for ordering and drinking so much tea,( hate is a strong word). Harny’s Tea have so many different kinds of tea, it it like my personality thing, many kinds of wonderful tea for every mood!!!. I need a non -caffine after watching the news.
You wont ever know just how much drinking one of your teas after my darling Rick passed away a year and a half ago, you got me through many nights, of just measuring out, heating my tea pot, pouring the water over the tea, waiting for it to brew. Putting just the right measure of honey (sometimes) milk (sometimes) and letting the memories of 44 years carry me. Thank you! Even though you didn’t know.
Thank you! being a customer for many years. Be sure you will continue being a loyal friend, even though you (until now) here for me!
I lift my cup!
God Bless you at Harney and Sons
