Harney & Sons Organic Assam Black Tea

Harney & Sons’ organic Assam is a black tea for people who want a cup with real backbone: malty, rounded, and lightly sweet with a gentle honey note. Grown in India’s Assam region, this single-origin black tea is brewed straight or with milk. It comes in loose leaf or convenient sachets, so it fits both a slow weekend pot and a quick weekday mug.

Why You’ll Love This Harney & Sons Tea

• Classic Assam character: Expect a malty base, soft honey sweetness and subtle earthy undertones, finishing clean rather than harsh.
• Made for milk, or not: It holds its own with milk and sweetener for a breakfast-style cup, and tastes just as good black.
• One ingredient, nothing added: This is pure Assam black tea, with no flavorings or blending partners.
• A morning favorite: With a high caffeine level, it is a natural pick for anyone swapping their morning coffee for tea.
• Choose your format: Loose-leaf tea comes in a 4 oz. tin or a 1 lb. bag. Individually wrapped sachets come in a box of 20, or you can pick a bag of 50 sachets for everyday brewing.
• Easy to share: The tin and boxed sachets make a thoughtful gift for any black tea lover.

How to Brew

Pour water at 200–212°F over the loose leaf or a sachet and steep for 3–5 minutes, then adjust to taste. For iced tea, cold steep the leaves in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours. This gives a smooth, naturally sweet glass with less bitterness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Harney & Sons Organic Assam Black Tea have caffeine?
Yes. It is made entirely from black tea, and its caffeine level is high. The caffeine in black tea also depends on how you brew it. A longer steep draws out more, and a shorter steep gives a lighter cup.

Can Harney & Sons Organic Assam Black Tea be cold brewed?
Yes. Steep the leaves in cold water in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours, then strain. The result is smooth and mellow, which makes it a good choice for warm-weather iced tea.

Should I choose loose leaf or sachets?
Both hold the same Assam black tea. Loose leaf in a tin or bag suits teapot brewing and lets you adjust the strength. Sachets are pre-portioned and handy at the office or when traveling.
