Harney & Sons Venetian Tiramisu Loose-Leaf White Tea Tin 2 oz — Mutan & Roasted Hojicha, Cocoa & Vanilla

Harney & Sons Venetian Tiramisu is a 2 oz loose-leaf white tea tin blending Mutan white tea with roasted Japanese hojicha, cocoa nibs, vanilla, and a hint of brandy flavor for a dessert-inspired cup.

This artisanal blend pairs the delicate floral character of Mutan (also called Pai Mu Tan) white tea with the toasty, caramel notes of roasted hojicha to create a layered flavor profile reminiscent of tiramisu. Cocoa nibs and vanilla add rounded sweetness while a light brandy accent brings bakery-like depth without overpowering the tea. Packaged in a decorative 2 oz tin, this loose leaf tea makes roughly 20–25 cups and is part of Harney & Sons’ commitment to environmental giving through 1% for the Planet.

What does Venetian Tiramisu tea taste like?

The cup opens with gentle, floral notes from the Mutan white tea, then moves into warm, roasted tones from the hojicha. Cocoa and vanilla create dessert-like sweetness, and the faint brandy flavor gives a subtle boozy echo that enhances the tiramisu impression.

• Top notes: soft florals and honeyed undertones.
• Mid palate: toasted, nutty hojicha character.
• Finish: cocoa nib crunch and vanilla warmth with a light brandy hint.

How should I brew this loose-leaf white and hojicha blend?

Use water below boiling to preserve the tender white tea leaves while allowing hojicha’s roast to show. Steep for a short to moderate time to balance the delicate Mutan with the bolder roasted elements and flavorings.

• Water temperature: 175–185°F (80–85°C).
• Tea amount: about 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup.
• Steep time: 2–4 minutes, adjust to taste.
• Multiple infusions: try a second short brew for continued complexity.

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

The decorative tin holds 2 ounces of loose leaf tea. Depending on how generously you measure, expect approximately 20–25 standard 8-ounce cups from the tin, making it convenient for daily brewing or sharing with guests.

• Net weight: 2 oz (about 56 grams).
• Brews per tin: roughly 20–25 cups with standard spooning.
• Storage: keep the tin closed in a cool, dry spot to preserve aroma.

Is this tea caffeinated and suitable for different occasions?

Yes — the blend contains naturally occurring caffeine from both white tea and roasted Japanese green tea (hojicha). Its sweet, dessert-like profile works well as an afternoon pick-me-up, a post-dinner tea when you want dessert notes without sugar, or as a unique offering for tea tastings.

• Caffeine level: moderate, from white and roasted green tea components.
• Best occasions: afternoon tea, dessert alternative, social teapots.
• Pairings: light pastries, biscotti, or on its own for savoring flavors.

Who is this for: This Harney & Sons Venetian Tiramisu tin is ideal for tea drinkers who enjoy dessert-inspired blends, fans of white tea who want a roasted contrast, and gift shoppers seeking an elegant, shelf-ready tin. It also suits anyone looking for a flavorful loose-leaf option with approachable caffeine and a refined, bakery-like character.
