I drink to your health. — John Harney

Founded in 1983 in the suburbs of New York by John Harney, based on the British tradition of tea, HARNEY & SONS is a tea brand that uses only the finest tea leaves selected from tea gardens around the world, and has introduced numerous unique and creative teas. Its popularity is not limited to the US; it has received the prestigious Afternoon Tea Award in the UK, the home of tea, often referred to as the "Oscars of tea," attesting to its exquisite taste.

The convenient, portable "TAGALONG" comes in 8 flavors, with 3-5 sachets per package. Slip your favorite flavor into your bag and enjoy an elegant tea time anytime, anywhere. Each ¥630.

Currently, Mike, the eldest son of the Harney family, serves as the Master Tea Blender, rigorously checking the quality of around 50 types of tea leaves daily and packing only those that meet his satisfaction. Everyone involved in the manufacturing process takes pride in and is sincerely committed to producing products that ensure "satisfaction in every cup." Harney's meticulously crafted teas are primarily available at establishments such as The Dorchester Hotel, Gramercy Park Hotel, The St. Regis, the high-end kitchenware store Williams Sonoma, and Disney Resort. The selection is truly vast, encompassing black tea, green tea, and white tea. You will also be surprised by the uniquely blended varieties.

The most popular is a medium-bodied black tea blended with three types of cinnamon, orange peel, and sweet cloves. Its characteristic natural sweetness is remarkable. The sensation of the spicy aroma spreading from your mouth to your nose might elicit an involuntary "Wow!"

Some may wonder, "Is it really this sweet, and is the calorie count okay...?" However, no sugar is used, meaning the calorie count is zero. Furthermore, due to the effects of cinnamon, such as promoting blood circulation and repairing blood vessels, this is a flavored tea recommended not only for its beauty benefits but also for its health advantages.

HARNEY & SONS, a unique tea brand born from the dream and passion of one man. Its childlike freedom and originality in blending, made possible by pure intention, and its gentle, warm taste, nurtured by sincere affection—seeing is believing, but tasting is even better. You are sure to discover a cup that will bring a smile to your face.
