Start the day with a black tea that has real depth. Harney & Sons' Organic Breakfast Black Tea pairs light, malty Assam with delicate citrus notes from the high-altitude Korakundah garden in southern India. The result is a smooth, slightly sweet morning cup that holds up well with milk and tastes just as good on its own. It comes as loose leaf or in convenient sachets.
Why You'll Love This Harney & Sons Tea
- Two Indian gardens, one cup: The Assam comes from the northern slopes of the Brahmaputra River and gives this breakfast tea a gentle malty base. Korakundah leaves add a light citrus lift on top.
- Naturally smooth and a little sweet: It has a balanced, rounded character. You can drink it without sugar, or add a splash of milk for a creamier cup.
- A classic breakfast style: If you enjoy Irish or Scottish breakfast teas, this black tea offers the same full-bodied, familiar comfort.
- Hot or iced: Brew it hot for the classic cup. Cold brewing softens the malt and brings the citrus undertones forward.
- Choose your format: Pick sachets for easy single cups, a 4 oz. tin of loose leaf for your kitchen shelf, or a 1 lb. bag if you drink it every morning.
How to Brew
For a hot cup, use one teaspoon of loose leaf (or one sachet) per 8 ounces of water heated to 200–212°F. Steep for 4–5 minutes, then adjust the time to suit your taste. For cold brew, add one teaspoon per 8 ounces of cold water and refrigerate for 6–8 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Harney & Sons Organic Breakfast Black Tea have caffeine?
Yes. Like all black tea, it naturally contains caffeine, and its caffeine level is high. That makes it a good choice for mornings. The amount in your cup will vary with the quantity of leaf you use and how long you steep it.
Does Harney & Sons Organic Breakfast Black Tea taste good with milk?
Yes. The malty Assam base stands up well to milk, and the citrus notes and natural sweetness keep the cup bright. Many people also enjoy it plain.
Can I cold brew Harney & Sons Organic Breakfast Black Tea?
Yes. Steep one teaspoon per 8 ounces of cold water in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours. Cold brewing gives a smooth, gently sweet iced tea with the citrus notes more noticeable.
