Harney & Sons Nutcracker Blend Black Tea — 30 Sachets in Decorative Tin, Chocolate & Apricot

Harney & Sons Nutcracker Blend is a festive black tea in a decorative tin, blending chocolate, almond, hazelnut and apricot flavors across 30 convenient sachets.

This seasonal loose-leaf inspired blend arrives portioned into single-steep sachets and packed in a collectible tin. The base is a bold black tea that carries layers of flavored accents—real apricot pieces and marigold petals add aroma and a touch of visual charm. It brews into a warm, dessert-like cup that works well straight or with milk, making it versatile for breakfast, afternoon breaks, or holiday hosting.

What flavor profile should I expect from Nutcracker Blend?

The tea opens with the robust, malty character of black tea, then reveals cocoa-like chocolate notes and nutty hints of almond and hazelnut. Apricot pieces add a gentle fruity sweetness while vanilla smooths the finish, creating a layered, aromatic cup.

• Primary notes: black tea, chocolate
• Mid notes: almond and hazelnut flavors
• Finishing notes: apricot and vanilla
• Visual accents: marigold petals and apricot pieces

How should I brew these sachets for best results?

Use near-boiling water (about 200–212°F / 93–100°C) and steep each sachet for 3–5 minutes, adjusting time for desired strength. Remove the sachet to avoid over-extraction; add milk or a sweetener if you prefer a creamier, dessert-like cup.

• Water temperature: near-boiling
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes
• Serving suggestions: plain, with a splash of milk, or a light sweetener
• Quantity: one sachet per 8–12 oz cup

Does this tea contain nuts or caffeine?

Although it carries almond and hazelnut flavors, the blend does not contain actual tree nuts; flavors are natural and the product is listed as nut-free. The black tea base contains caffeine, so it's suitable for daytime enjoyment but not caffeine-free.

• Contains natural flavorings for almond and hazelnut notes
• Does not contain real nuts
• Contains caffeine from black tea
• Packaged as 30 single-steep sachets in a tin

How is this tea packaged and stored for freshness?

Nutcracker Blend comes in a reusable metal tin that keeps sachets organized and protected from light and humidity. The sachets are individually portioned to preserve aroma and make brewing simple—ideal for gifting or keeping at home for seasonal entertaining.

• Packaging: decorative metal tin
