Harney & Sons Organic Darjeeling Loose Leaf Black Tea Tin, 4 oz — Second-Flush, Fruit-Forward Plum & Peach Notes

Harney & Sons Organic Darjeeling is a certified organic second-flush loose leaf black tea offering bright, fruit-forward liquor with plum and peach aromas and gentle astringency.

This 4 oz decorative tin contains loose leaf Darjeeling sourced from selected estates that meet Harney & Sons’ quality standards. Lighter than many black teas, this organic second-flush Darjeeling highlights red fruit notes and a scent reminiscent of ripe plums and peaches. Because harvests and estates vary year to year, the exact nuance shifts with each batch while preserving the tea’s characteristic elegance and clarity.

What flavor profile can I expect from this organic Darjeeling?

The tea presents a fruit-forward character with dark red fruit nuances and a floral-fruity aroma. It finishes smoothly with low astringency, making it approachable both for straight sipping and gentle blends.

• Primary notes: plum and peach aroma
• Secondary tones: subtle floral and stone-fruit hints
• Mouthfeel: light to medium body with restrained briskness
• Finish: clean, low astringency

How should I brew Harney & Sons Organic Darjeeling for best results?

Use water just off boiling and a short steep time to preserve the tea’s delicate fruit notes without extracting excess bitterness. Adjust leaf quantity and infusion time to suit your preference for strength and clarity.

• Water temperature: 200–208°F (just off boiling)
• Leaf amount: about 1 teaspoon per 6–8 oz cup
• Steep time: 2–3 minutes for a bright, balanced cup
• Optional: a second quick infusion for lighter flavor

How much tea comes in the tin and how many cups will it make?

The decorative tin holds 4 ounces of loose leaf Darjeeling, which typically brews approximately 30–40 standard cups depending on your measuring and steeping habits. Because Darjeeling leaves are whole and lightly processed, cup yield can vary by teaspoon size and strength preference.

• Weight: 4 oz (loose leaf)
• Estimated yield: roughly 30–40 cups
• Storage: keep sealed and away from light and strong odors
