Eelong drank Valentine's Blend by Harney & Sons

66 tasting notes

A bit weak for my personal tastes. Doesn’t resteep well, so you only get a single cup out of each sachet instead of the usual two or three. It has a nice, deep, fudge-y aroma to it, but the liquor is subdued. Not a lot of flavor coming through, tea or chocolate or otherwise, and the rosebuds barely add anything to it. Can’t say I’d buy any more of this in the future. Unfortunately poor execution of a good concept. I really wanted to like this. Probably going to be doing 2 sachets per cup for the rest of the tin to make it taste less… empty.

Flavors: Chocolate, Nuts

Preparation

Boiling 4 min, 15 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.
