how do I love thee...let me count the tea leaves

Harney & Sons Valentine's Tea weds black tea, chocolate and rose flavors into a blend that I personally like quite a bit, though I have seen a similar reaction noted by one of the reviewers on the Harney website, i.e., that it seems to be a tea which you'll either love or not love at all.  A simple thing to keep in mind, however, is that the blend includes rose petals, so if you are averse to rosebuds or flowery notes in your cup, this is not the tea for you.  Otherwise you'll most likely find it very special and Valentine romantic -- not just on February 14th, but perhaps even all year round.
