First, we got this Yellow & Blue chamomile and lavendar. It comes in cute little silk sachets and has yellow and blue flowers. So fun and so calming. Love it! Well, Lori loves it. It's not really Rob's, um, cup of tea.
For fun we also got their Valentine's Blend - chocolate tea with rosebuds! How fun is that? It really smells like chocolate. To be honest, when it arrived we thought we'd made a mistake. Chocolate and roses are nice, but maybe beside a cup of tea, not in one. But we tried it tonight with our Shrove Tuesday pancakes (with nutella!), and it's actually very nice. Mmmm.
And lastly, of course we had to get their Earl Grey. There's nothing as soothing as a nice hot cup of Earl Grey. Except maybe a foot massage. Or a day at the spa. Or watching the sun set over the ocean.
Anyway, Earl Grey is way up there. We really love Twinings version, so we thought we'd do a taste test. Harney's has a fancy schmancy "special" kind with silvertips. Ooh, sounds very nice. So we tried it this morning. It doesn't smell or taste like any Earl Grey we've ever had. So far Twinings is definitely the winner. Maybe the Harney's will grow on us.
Lori's other Twinings favorite is their Jasmine. It's gorgeous. It's like being back in India.
Rob's favorite is Lapsang Souchong. It's like drinking smoke. Disgusting. In Lori's expert opinion.
Lori loves to drink out of her pretty new mugs from her mom's shop. Aren't they fun?
Her other fun find at her mom's shop was this great pillow and throw set. Isn't it great? The flowers make her smile.
It goes with their fabulous handmade quilt set. Look at the detail.
Pretty great, huh?
Okay, time to go drink some more tea.

Love Harney & Sons. When the weather warms up (or better wait until the fall) you guys need to do a road trip. The Harney & Sons tasting room/shop is in Millerton, NY. You can try everything---even the super expensive fancy schmancy ones. It's so much fun and the drive is beautiful!
