Tea PIF - 7 Winners. 6 Samples

Toothpick

Needs milk and a bidet!
I switched to tea 3-4 years ago and been buying exclusively from Harney & Sons. I typically buy my favorites along with a few others I've never tried before. Well inevitably I'll get some that I just don't like at all. Well....here they are!

Your chance to sample 6 different teas from Harney & Sons. I put 3-5 teaspoons in each packet. Which is enough for 2-5 cups. So you should be able to get a good idea if you like it or not.

I'll pick 7 winners. CONUS only. Winner selection will be based on your activity on B&B, your behavior on B&B, and your activeness in the Cafe because I would appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the teas here. Although I know some folks don't like tea and may consider this a chance to try something different. Weather or not you are a daily tea drinker doesn't matter.

I will pick winners as soon as I find them.

Below are the teas and descriptions from Harney.com

Kenya Milima - Kenya Milima is Africa's most elegant black tea, with golden tips reminiscent of fine Assams. Produced with traditional methods at high altitude, this tea is light in body and tends toward citrus. Overall, a mellow brew. This tea led the way to Africa's emergence as a quality supplier.

Zhang Ping Black - No longer on Harney.com

Organic Korakundah - Korakundah has been seeing a lot of us Harneys. Alex has been there four times, and Mike twice. This Organic Korakundah FOP is nice and mellow—a good everyday tea. It is sourced from the highest area in the Nilgiri tea region in southern India.

King of Bai Mudan (white tea) - On Mike's trip to Fuding, China, he looked at many producers of white tea. They are really innovating there nowadays. While there, he came upon this very special white tea and thought some people would enjoy it. It is even sweeter and has more body than our regular Mutan White (aka Bai Mudan).

Fujian Wild Black - This tea is found in an abandoned tea garden in northern Fujian Province, China. It is from Guan Yin bushes that are also used to make Ti Quan Yin oolongs. The abandoned estate is located high on top of a mountain in China, so the leaves grow slowly. This tea is made by hand plucking the buds from the end of March to the beginning of April, giving it unique dried leaves. A black tea with a natural sweet oolong aroma!

Chamraj Black - Chamraj is located high in the Nilgiri Mountains in southern India. This particular tea is medium in body with white toasted honey notes. Elvira and Mike visited there in the spring of 2023.

Really nice PIF! Not in, but tempting for sure. I hope a few people here can appreciate this.
 
Definitely in. I love my coffee, but I also appreciate tea. Tea, for me, is an afternoon drink. I find coffee has too much caffeine and affects my sleep if I drink it too late in the day. Tea fits perfectly for me, especially in the winter, when a hot drink is really appreciated after work.
 
Hi, I'm just returning to the forum after a long hiatus so I know I have less opportunity to be selected, but I also would appreciate the chance to try quality teas. I'm trying to drink less coffee and have been replacing my afternoon cup with a mix of commercial tea-bags and self-made infusions with stuff like star-anise, eucalypt, clove with a base of black or green tea.
 
I recall days in 1950's hitting local Chinese Restaurant in NYC - Queens Born, first thing they did was brought Pot of hot Chinese Tea. Loved the stuff with four to five tea spoons of sugar. YUM YUM.

Then there was a Tea fad called SunTea brewed with Tea Bags in Big Jar left out in Sun for many hours. Fad died off.
