Harney & SonsJapanese Sencha Green tea, Loose leaf 4 ounce

Harney & Sons Chai Tea: It’s like a warm, spiced blanket for your soul, except instead of gently tucking you in, it slaps you in the face with cinnamon and says, “Wake up, it’s chai time!” This tea doesn’t mess around—it’s here to spice up your life whether you’re ready or not.First Impressions:Right from the start, the tin alone tells you this is no ordinary tea. You look at it, and it feels like you’ve just walked into a cozy little spice market. Pop open the lid, and BAM, your nose gets hit with a symphony of spices. Seriously, it’s like a cinnamon stick, a clove, and a piece of cardamom all jumped into your sinuses for a dance party. But, you know, in a good way. This tea smells like it’s got secrets—spicy secrets.The Brew:So you brew a cup, and here’s where the magic happens. As the hot water hits the tea leaves, you start to smell it: that perfect chai aroma that makes you feel like you’ve suddenly mastered the art of tea-making. You’re not just brewing tea—you’re brewing an experience. You’re practically an herbal alchemist at this point.The first sip? Oh, it’s good. It’s real good. It’s like every cozy autumn day has been boiled down into one perfect, spiced cup of deliciousness. The black tea gives it that bold backbone, while the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger take turns karate-chopping your taste buds with flavor. It’s warm, it’s spicy, and it’s everything you never knew you wanted from a tea. It’s like drinking a chai latte—but without the overpriced coffee shop guilt.The Spice Situation:Here’s the thing: this chai does not hold back on the spices. It’s like the spice cabinet exploded and Harney & Sons managed to catch all the good bits. You’ll find yourself questioning whether you’re drinking tea or downing a cup of mulled spices, but in the best way possible. It’s not overly sweet or weak like some chai blends—it’s here to remind you that chai means business.But be warned: this tea could make you feel like you’re starring in your own Bollywood movie, doing dramatic chai-sipping close-ups in slow motion. It’s that good. Just try not to break into a spontaneous dance routine after your first few sips. Or do. I won’t judge.Fancy Factor:Let’s talk loose leaf for a second. If you’re using Harney & Sons loose-leaf chai, congratulations, you’ve reached peak tea sophistication. You’re no longer messing around with basic teabags—you’re swirling tea leaves like some sort of chai sommelier. Bonus points if you’ve got a fancy teapot to match. This chai was meant to be brewed in style.And if you’re feeling extra indulgent, add a splash of milk or cream, maybe even a little honey. Boom—chai perfection. It’s like drinking a hug. A spicy hug. From a very enthusiastic friend who smells like cinnamon.

Very tasty, and I can usually get two uses out of the same teabag.

The perfect Tea! This is everything I want in a black tea. Its bold, dark, slightly floral, slightly astringent. There are no traces of *dirt flavor*...(Ive found several black teas taste like muddy grass water) this one is 100% tea aroma and flavor. When opening up the tin you smell a sweet tea fragrance. This blend is well balanced, aromatic and I will definitely be buying more, if not making this my everyday tea!!

Good tea

Very good tea.

This might be my favorite tea ever. It has a strong scent of bergamot and an amazing flavor.

Smooth, perfect spice, perfect taste

I ordered the earl grey. The aroma of this tea is amazing, I had high hopes for the flavor after smelling the leaves, but the brewed tea fell flat for me. I personally didn’t get the flavor notes that my nose was picking up from the leaves. It tasted closer to an English breakfast to me than an earl grey. Now it’s still a good tea. I just think it misses the mark for earl grey.
