I'm new to the thread but not to tea, but I just wanted a quick pulse check from the group. I noticed that Harney and Sons isn't mentioned particularly often - is there a reason? We've discovered that their green teas are pretty bad, but have generally enjoyed their black tea options. Not sure if there are similarly priced but way more recommended places, they're fine by most accounts, or if they kill puppies or something.

I basically get the Malachi McCormick and my wife digs the Paris - but we're open to other options. We'll probably give Adagio a shot soon, but have a local chinese tea shop that we stocked up on jasmine and genmaicha recently.

Hello tea goons, I need your help. My favorite tea place discontinued my favorite tisane blend, titled Citrus Mint Licorice. I'm trying to reproduce it at home, but I'm an idiot who's bad at recognizing things or figuring out ratios:

This is the image:


And the description:

Having bit into some of the yellow stuff, I think it's dried lemon, but I'm not sure. The ratio I'm thinking of is:

3 parts lemongrass, 3 parts peppermint, 2 parts licorice, 1 parts apple and 1 parts lemon peel

Does this seem at all reasonable to you, my fellow "tea" drinkers?

If they've discontinued it, you could also try asking them for a recipe. Some places are fine sharing that if they're not making it anymore
