Experiencing the Difference: featuring Harney & Sons Teas

Tea offers among the most powerful of health benefits in a wide range of delectable tastes and intoxicating scents from all around the world. It is more than a simple morning or afternoon addition to the everyday schedule, as for many, it’s a part of a greater lifestyle choice. Many employ organic teas to fight diseases, to ease ailments and other discomforts, as well as knocking off rust that the body incurs from the busy hustle bustle of our modern world. Tea is loaded with antioxidants, which help to filter toxins out from the body, while feeding us micronutrients that our bodies and brains need to operate at a high level, but there’s so much more that tea can do for us…

Teas have been found to help soothe digestion issues, and they can assist with weight loss, while helping to promote good bones, too. And they assist in improving mood; they boost immune system, help to fight cancers, and can replace your caffeine intake from coffee, while offering a dietary option that’s calorie free. The benefits range, but there’s little to doubt when it comes to the natural taste and medicinal approach that can be had with quality tea. One of my favorite tea companies is that of 
Harney & Sons, because they specialize in high quality tea blends that bring together a range of herbal tastes, smells and health benefits.

Of what I’ve tried of their blends, I fell in love with their Blood Orange Fruit Tea, Tropical Green, Black Currant, and French Super Blue Lavender, especially. Most of their teas can be purchased as loose leaf, which is how I prefer, which offers the user the ability to make lighter or stronger teas, while also being assured that the optimum quality of ingredients have been used. Not only do each of those four intoxicate my nose, but also my taste buds. Their loose leaf versions of each come in a metal tin that preserves the leaves and flowers nicely, adding an attractive aesthetic to the entire experience that I haven’t found (comparatively) elsewhere.

Breaking them down:
Picture
The Blood Orange Fruit Tea is citrus heavy blend of apple pieces, orange peel, rose hips, hibiscus, beet root, safflower petals, marigold petals, orange flavor, raspberry flavor, grapefruit flavor. The loose leaf tea is bright colored with orange, reds and yellows, and offers a vibrant grapefruit, orange smell and a delicious, energy boasting taste that I found perfect for mornings when I needed a boost.

The Tropical Green is another blend that marries green tea with pineapple flavor and other artificial flavorings. While it’s not a 100% organic blend, it’s probably the most flavorful green tea I’ve ever had. Where many green teas fall short on flavor by being very subtle, the Tropical Green by Harney & Sons is a fruitier take that blends several Chinese green teas to make a fantastic green tea unlike any other.

The Black Currant is among Harney & Sons’ first teas from when they first started in business, in 1983, and it is an absolute joy to drink. The tea is a blend of black tea, currants, black currant flavor and other natural flavors, which offers a sweet berry scent that is unique to black currants, and is one of the most surprising, yet appetizing tastes.

The French Super Blue Lavender is 100% lavender, with nothing else, which is just how it should be, because lavender is, at least for me, the most memorable and exhilarating flowers in the world. This lavender is a traditional herb sourced from the French Riviera, and it has a deep blue hue, an intense floral taste and a captivating aroma. The health benefits include stress relief, mood boosting (which I notice from simply smelling the tea), and promotion of restful sleep. The tea also has some inflammatory properties, and is soothing for bloated bellies.
