Harney & Sons Darjeeling Loose Leaf Black Tea — 8 oz Decorative Tin, Floral & Fruity

Harney & Sons Darjeeling loose leaf black tea is an 8-ounce blend of First Flush and Autumnal leaves that brews a light, floral and fruit-forward cup.

Grown on the misty slopes of the Himalayas, Darjeeling tea has a distinct aromatic profile prized by tea lovers. Harney & Sons blends First Flush and Autumnal harvests to balance the bright, floral top notes of early leaves with the riper, fruitier character of later pluckings. Packaged in an 8 oz decorative tin, this loose leaf tea is designed for home brewing and delivers multiple servings when steeped to taste.

What does Harney & Sons Darjeeling taste like?

The cup is medium-bodied with clear floral tones and a bright, fruity finish. It produces a light-to-golden liquor rather than a heavy, dark brew, allowing delicate aromas to come through.

• Floral hints reminiscent of muscatel and spring blossoms
• Subtle fruity notes that add brightness without overpowering
• Clean, brisk finish suitable for sipping plain or with a light sweetener

How should I brew this loose leaf Darjeeling?

Use fresh, hot water just below a full boil (around 200°F / 93°C) to preserve the tea's delicate aromatics. Steep for 2–4 minutes depending on strength preference, and adjust leaf quantity for stronger or milder cups.

• Standard measure: 1 teaspoon per 6–8 oz water; increase for a bolder cup
• Steep 2 minutes for light, 3–4 minutes for fuller body
• Re-steeping is possible—later infusions reveal more nuanced flavors

What comes in the package and is it easy to store?

The product arrives in an 8-ounce decorative tin filled with loose leaf Darjeeling, sealed to maintain freshness. The metal tin offers light and air protection for short- to medium-term storage; keep it cool and dry for the best shelf life.

• 8 oz loose leaf tin for multiple servings at home
• Compact decorative tin suitable for pantry or countertop storage
• Store away from heat, moisture, and strong odors to preserve aroma

Is this tea suitable for mornings, afternoons, or both?

This Darjeeling contains caffeine and suits both morning and afternoon drinking. Its moderate body and lively floral-fruit character make it a versatile choice—bright enough to wake you up, but refined enough for a relaxed afternoon cup.

• Contains caffeine for a gentle energizing effect
• Versatile flavor profile for plain drinking or light accompaniments
• Pairs well with pastries, light sandwiches, and mild cheeses
