Stick Your Pinky Out - It's Time to Talk Tea

By Julie

I love tea. This probably stems from some untold number of tea parties I hosted as a kid (whether or not I served imaginary tea as a 7-year-old is beside the point). In fact, my favorite thing about my last office job was the free iced tea in the cafeteria. You can bet I partook of that little perk as often as possible. But I also adore hot tea. Although I do enjoy a Starbucks caffeinated cocktail now and again, my go-to warm beverage is tea.

I am probably too excited that my daughter has chosen celebrate her next birthday with a tea party. I can’t wait.

While visiting a local coffee shop recently, I decided to try a cinnamon spice tea latte, since I’m all about the cinnamon flavored teas. It was a revelation. This was no weak tea to sip on your sickbed, no. This one packed a punch. I was just beginning to restructure my entire monthly budget in my head so I could have as many of these heavenly drinks as possible when I noticed the teabag had a label. And the label read Harney & Sons.

Harney & Sons has every flavor tea imaginable to meet your taste. They also package their teas in several different ways, including loose, bags, and fancy sachets, so you can choose how you want to brew. I give a huge thumbs up to their cinnamon spice (one of their best sellers), and I can’t wait to try their holiday blend (I know Christmas is over, but who cares?) and Earl Grey (my usual tea of choice). So if you’re a tea lover like me and want to go beyond the typical supermarket offerings, try Harney & Sons.

We drink a lot of loose leaf tea (my husband is obsessed), but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE tea is the Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice. I've never had it as a latte though... I'll have to try it!

Oh! And for those who are near a Caribou Coffee, I am 99% certain their hot cinnamon spice tea is from Harney & Sons, just under the Caribou label.

I'm not much for hot tea, save for the occasional chai or earl grey. But iced tea is my number one favorite beverage. Sweetened with splenda. Of course hot tea and splenda don't go well together. So I usually add french vanilla creamer to my hot tea.
