Harney & Sons Darjeeling Loose Leaf Black Tea Tin 4 oz — Light Floral, Fruity, Smooth Finish

Harney & Sons Darjeeling loose leaf black tea is a balanced blend of First Flush and Autumnal harvests that brews a light, floral, and fruity cup in a decorative 4 oz tin.

Harvested from the misty slopes of the Himalayas, this Darjeeling blend combines bright first-flush leaves with the richer autumnal plucks to create a nuanced black tea. The result is a tea with a delicate color, a fragrant aroma and a smooth finish — an approachable everyday Darjeeling that also performs well for tasting and mindful moments. Packaged in a sturdy 4 oz tin, it’s ideal for preserving freshness and offering about 30–40 cups depending on steep strength.

What flavor profile can I expect from this Darjeeling blend?

This Harney & Sons Darjeeling highlights floral top notes and subtle fruity undertones with a light to medium body. It’s more delicate than many full-bodied black teas, offering aromatic complexity without heavy astringency.

• Floral perfumed aroma with hints of muscatel-like fruit
• Light to medium mouthfeel, smooth finish
• Balanced brightness from first flush plus deeper tones from autumnal leaves

How should I brew it to get the best cup?

Use water just off a full boil and steep briefly to preserve the tea’s subtle aromas and prevent bitterness. Adjust leaf quantity and steep time to match your taste—shorter for a lighter cup, slightly longer for more body.

• Leaf amount: about 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup
• Water temperature: 200–212°F (near boiling)
• Steep time: 2–4 minutes, taste and tweak
• Multiple infusions: mild additional brews possible with slightly longer steeping

What does the 4 oz tin offer in terms of quantity and storage?

The decorative 4 oz tin holds roughly 30–40 standard cups, depending on how strong you brew each cup. The metal tin helps shield leaves from light and air, extending freshness when kept in a cool, dry place.

• Net weight: 4 ounces of loose leaf tea
• Brewing yield: approximately 30–40 cups
• Storage tip: reseal tin or transfer to an airtight container for longest freshness
