Harney & SonsIrish Breakfast Tea, 16oz Loose Leaf Black Tea, 100% Assam

If you like big, beautiful, flavorful tea leaves, this is the tea for you. Simply the highest quality, taste and smoothness. Having been a loose tea aficionado for many years and having tried many high end brands I have to say Harney and Son is the best I have ever had. Surprisingly many more expensive brands of loose leaf tea are nothing more than bits, pieces and dust. Try Harney. No disappointments.

My wife enjoys her teas, kind of a tea snob.She won't buy bags unless there is no other option for the variety. Likes to buy loose leaf teas in tins. She enjoys them hot or cold.Harney and Sons provide an excellent quality tea with a good flavor and no bitterness or tannic taste. The heady aroma of the Paris tea is very pleasantly fragrant. Well balanced blend.

This tea is appropriately named ‘hot’ cinnamon! Unless it’s made quite weak, it is spicy-hot and WONDERFUL ! There is that exact slight heat r little burn to the lips, tongue, and throat as good cinnamon candy.One of best - if not the Best - teas I’ve come across yet. LOVE IT

Nice aroma and good flavored tea! We enjoyed it during our Sunday breakfast when we have the chance to relax without the hassle of the working week! Fast shipping and excellent customer service!!!

I was surprised that the tea was just packed inside the metal tin. I expected some kind of bag or liner. The tea has lovely taste and smell but is too weak for my taste.

High quality and tasty. That’s all you can hope for in a tea review.

I confess that I came to loose leaf brewing some years ago because of an episode of NCIS-LA. I decided to give it a whirl and was AMAZED. Tea brewed this way was a far superior beverage. And I quickly settled on Harney & Sons English Breakfast Tea as "my" tea.Brewed in a pot I find this tea to be clear and and have a pleasant in flavor that has been quite consistent through the years. I warm the pot first and use BOILING water to brew the tea. It can't be too hot. I like to steep mine for 5 minutes if I'm having it straight. If I'm adding cream (Hello Keto fans!) I steep it for 7 to 10 minutes to bring out more flavor.If you're new to steeping loose leaf tea then plan on experimenting a bit. Always use boiling water for BLACK teas like this one but the amount of tea and how long it steeps can and should be experimented with whenever you change teas. I've also found a good tea pot and an electric water kettle to be good investments. I use filtered water where I live now and that improves the flavor but that depends on your locality. Personally I've come to enjoy the ritual of making tea in the morning as much as the tea afterwards. Your mileage may vary.Contrary to what some have said I find it does develop quite strong flavors if left steeping too long so I use a timer. In my experience this is true for all black teas. Also, if you're making a pot, I've found that by setting the pot on a folded dish towel and draping another over it keeps the tea hot enough for me to enjoy the second mug. Or they sell something called a "tea cozy" if you want to get fancy.This tea is well worth trying on it's own and another reviewer was right about the lovely smell. Also the 8 ounce tea tins this tea comes in are just the right size. I saved a couple and then started ordering in the 1lb bag which I decant into my tins.

Another favorite tea that is the perfect blend, has a great taste and lovely aroma

El producto llegó bien, el té está rico, todo parece bien hasta donde puedo ver.Sin embargo, el nombre del producto es:Harney & Sons English Breakfast té negro, té de hojas sueltas en lata de 8 onzaspero la lata únicamente trae 4 onzas.

I mixed this tea with 2 other teas from this brand and love the taste.

Rich, smokey aroma, subtle flavour...

I am in my phase of London fogs and didn't want to pay 5 to 6 dollars for a drink at a Cafe. I initially bought the twinning earl grey tea bags which I was unable to make a good london fog no matter how many bags I used. I tried several brands and even some microgrounds before stumbling on this. Initially I thought this was really expensive. However I found that the flavor was very good and came out well. Only need to use 1 or 2 tsp. I think if you add a bit more lavender it will even taste even better.

It's a pretty weak and average-tasting (if not below-average) English Breakfast tea. I've had cheap bagged teas better than this tbh.I heard Harney and Son's was a good brand, and it seemed like a good price for the size, considering most Loose Leaf English Breakfast teas of of this size (1 lb) tend to cost $65-100+ CAD. I paid $40.However, upon realizing that this is not made of the typical Ceylon/Assam blends, but a low grade generic black tea, I tried to cancel the order. If I wanted a 1lb bag of generic black tea, I could get some for half the price, but they wouldn't let me. Once it arrived, I could not return it, even though I hadn't even opened it, so I'm stuck with it now.Since it's pretty weak, I'll probably get through the whole pound within a month or 2 anyways. Won't buy again.
