Harney & Sons Black Currant Black Tea Sachets — 25 Whole-Leaf Sachets, Fruit-Forward Flavor

Harney & Sons Black Currant Black Tea Sachets are whole-leaf black tea in 25 single-brew sachets flavored with bold black currant for hot or iced enjoyment.

Bright, fruit-forward, and rooted in classic tea-making, this blend pairs full-bodied black tea with juicy black currant flavor. Packaged as 25 whole-leaf sachets in a resealable bag, it’s designed for straightforward brewing at home or on the go. The blend carries caffeine naturally from the black tea base and is a longtime Harney & Sons offering that highlights their balance of tradition and approachable flavor.

What flavor profile can I expect from this black currant black tea?

This blend delivers a pronounced berry character layered over a sturdy black tea backbone. Expect ripe-fruit notes up front, subtle tartness, and a smooth, rounded finish that keeps the cup balanced rather than overly sweet. It reads as a fruity black tea rather than an herbal or floral infusion.

• Dominant black currant fruit notes with mild tartness
• Full-bodied black tea base that supports the fruit without overpowering it
• Clean finish suitable for drinking plain, sweetened, or with a splash of milk

How should I brew these whole-leaf sachets for best flavor?

Each sachet is designed to brew one 12 oz cup. For a balanced cup, steep in water just off-boil for 3–5 minutes depending on your strength preference. Use less time for a lighter, fruit-forward cup and longer for a bolder, more astringent black tea experience.

• Water temperature: near boiling (about 200–212°F / 93–100°C)
• Steep time: 3 minutes for mild, 4–5 minutes for robust flavor
• Try double-strength in iced brewing to account for dilution with ice

Can I enjoy this blend hot and iced, and how do preparations differ?

This tea works very well both hot and iced. For hot tea, brew normally and serve immediately; for iced tea, brew at double strength, cool, then pour over ice to preserve flavor. Iced preparations highlight the brightness of the black currant and make a refreshing cold beverage.

• Hot: single sachet per 12 oz cup, steep 3–5 minutes
• Iced: brew double-strength, chill, strain, and serve over ice
• Sweeten or add citrus for a custom iced tea twist
