type: black

origin: china

variety: flavored

caffeine: no-caffeine

price level: $$$$

Chinese black teas are stirred with pieces of dried stone fruit, then finished with oil of bergamot and honey flavor. This blend is reminiscent of Elizabethan preserves, flavorful and tempting. Dry Leaves: The Chinese leaves are medium sized and black. Liquor: The liquor is medium to dark brown. Aroma: A wonderfully refreshing tea with fruity aromas and vanilla with undertones of honey. Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: A medium to strong body. Flavors: This tea is complicated, like the Tower itself. It has flavors similar to Earl Grey, Vanilla and Black Currant, and there is a touch of honey. Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F

      A lovely black tea. One of my favs from Harney & Sons. And the tin is very attractive. Love this tea! I like to sip it when I watch historical documentaries or dramas on tv! :)

      I like this one a lot. It has a fruity, sweet aroma with a very strong black tea kick. A great tea for cold, wet mornings when you want to be in a good mood and very alert.

      This tea smells fantastic, with the black currant, bergamot, and hints of honey! Taste-wise it's very nice, with a slight caramel flavor. It's drinkable without sweetener, but it's still good with honey.

      The blackcurrant flavor is not particularly strong to me, but it's still a solid black tea - a good morning pick-me-up.

      It's supposed to be blackcurrant, but it tastes more like cherry to me. Either way it works nicely with the honey notes; just wish it was a bit stronger though.

      Oh, and the tin is purple, which is always a plus.

      A bit on the lighter side, but still really tasty. I like taking it with honey to amplify the honey flavor that's already there.

      There's a lot going on here. It's like a fruity Earl Grey with honey. Delicious while busy.

      This tea is incredible! My only complaint is that it seems to taste better out of wider mugs because of the way it infuses. It is very similar to an earl grey, which is my favorite type of tea, so it's a great twist on a classic.

      One of my favorite teas ever! A lovely twist on earl grey teas, sweet and smooth.

      With the exception of Earl Grey's this is my favorite flavored tea. It has a lot going on but it's so good. Fruity, creamy, bright, slightly sweet. Excellent with or without cream.
