Harney & Sons Celebration Black Tea, 30 Sachets in Tin — Cinnamon, Apricot & Hazelnut

Harney & Sons Celebration Black Tea is a festive blend of medium-bodied black tea with cinnamon, apricot, and hazelnut flavors, packaged as 30 single-brew sachets in a decorative tin.

This limited-edition-style blend was developed to evoke classic English holiday flavors: warming cinnamon, bright golden apricot, and a toasty hazelnut note layered over a mellow black tea base. Designed to be simple to brew and versatile to drink, each sachet yields up to two cups and is presented in a reusable tin ideal for gifting or seasonal display. The recipe combines real tea leaves with fruit pieces, natural flavors, and blue cornflower petals for a visually appealing infusion.

What flavor profile should I expect from Celebration Black Tea?

You’ll taste a medium-bodied black tea foundation with three main accents: spicy cinnamon, sweet apricot, and subtle toasted hazelnut. The interplay keeps the cup warming but not heavy, with floral blue cornflowers adding a light visual flourish.

• Base: mellow, medium-bodied black tea for balance.
• Warmth: cinnamon spice provides a festive warmth.
• Fruit note: golden apricot pieces and flavor add sweetness.
• Nuts: hazelnut flavor gives subtle toasty depth.

How should I brew these sachets for best results?
