Harney & Sons Christmas Teas- Holidays, Celebrations, and Winter White Earl Grey


I was after Christmas shopping at World Market.  While there I discovered 3 Harney & Sons Tea that were holidays tea and thus were 50%!

Finding teas on sale is super great time to try teas!

I am a big fan of Harney & Sons, if you follow me, you already knew this, lol.

Earl Grey is also my favorite.  The first one here is a Winter White Earl Grey.


This is a Chinese Mutan white tea with bergamot oils, and natural flavoring

I love to make iced tea at work.  If I use tea bags I will take 5-6 tea bags (I am not making a gallons worth)  and steep them for 10 minutes* using the appropriate temperature.  Since this is a white tea, I don't let my water get over 175 degrees.    I may add a little sugar- less than 1/3 C.

*No matter if it is a black, white, green, purple, oolong, pu-erh, yellow, purple, mate, or herbal tea I steep an iced tea for 10 minutes.



I also found Celebration and Holiday tea.
They were great as well.

Celebration Tea:
Black tea, apricot pieces, passion plum flavor, apricot flavor, blue cornflowers, hazelnut flavor, cinnamon spice flavor. Contains natural flavors.


Holiday Tea:
Black tea, cloves, almond flavor, orange flavor, vanilla flavor, safflowers, three types of cinnamon, orange pieces. Contains natural flavors.

I think that this holiday one was my favorite of the three.  The Winter White Earl Grey was a very close second though.


And a year or two ago I discovered White Christmas.  It is a really great white tea too.

White tea, cardamom, white chamomile, almond flavor, vanilla flavor, and cardamom flavor. Contains natural flavors.



Here is more on making a gallon of iced tea.



Making a gallon of iced tea at home.  I always have 2-3 gallons in my fridge at one time. 
 If I use tea bags I will take 8 tea bags for a gallon  and steep them for 10 minutes* using the appropriate temperature.  Since this is a white tea, I don't let my water get over 175 degrees.    I may add a little sugar- around 1/3 C.

*No matter if it is a black, white, green, purple, oolong, pu-erh, yellow, purple, mate, or herbal tea I steep an iced tea for 10 minutes.

Water temp is so important!!  You don't want to bruise the delicate tea leaves.




Once steeped for 10 minutes I strain the tea in the gallon pitcher.  I then fill the remaining pitcher with water and put in the fridge.
