Default In Praise of Harney Teas

I have just discovered Harney teas, and am blown away.

Harney teas are to teas as Penzey herbs are to herbs.

The aroma and bouquet of the *dried* tea, even before steeping, are just
incredible. It's like smelling the finest potpourri; open a tin of
Harney's tea and it's like walking through a garden after a fresh
morning rain. Absolutely incredible.

Incredible enough that I willingly shelled out $7.00 for a tin of 20
bags (each bag makes 2 cups, though).

They carry it at Barnes and Noble out here (in the 'Starbucks"
concessions).

Reading your description reminded me of my favorite source for tea and
coffee. Anne, if you're really into fine tea, you must really check out
McNulty's Tea & Coffee Co. They were established in 1895. I've been
buying tea and coffee there for over 30 years, from their shop in
Greenwich Village. I usually mail-order, but on every trip to NYC I
always come home with a valise full.

McvNulty's has a website (http://www.mcnultys.com/), but only take
orders by phone or fax. I don't think their website has prices, but the
last time I ordered Earl Grey, it was around $20/lb. You can order a
full catalog with prices on their website.

I have no connection with mcMulty's, other than that of a devoted
customer.

Wayne, thanks! Although I can never think of the Village, where I
stomped as a kid, without mourning the passing of Balduccis.

I sympathize, Anne. It must have been wonderful growing up around
there. I only lived in NYC for 2 years while I was in design school,
but made 3-4 trips a year there for nearly 3 decades. I can hardly
remember a trip without a stop a Balducci's, and a full shopping bag
back on the plane! I couldn't believe it when they closed. It was a
family feud of latter generation that precipitated it, wasn't it?

Anne, you can also order good tea from Grace (www.gracetea.com). I
haven't ordered any from them since I've finally found a good source of
bulk tea in my neighborhood in Seattle.

Bags???? Real tea drinkers brew loose tea in an infuser. Loose tea tend to
have longer and larger leafs for better flavor.

Yep, it was all they had, and it was *that* good.

I had one of their teas once...it the plum flavored tea (might have been
decaf). I had it at a restaurant and it was so good that I brought the bag
home with me so I wouldn't forget the name.
