From Hot Sips to Iced Elegance: Discovering the Best of Harney & Sons Fine Teas

A cowboy hat, casually commanding. A full repertoire of Harney & Sons teas, each tin a quiet promise. A vivacious circle of taste-testers, equal parts charm and discernment. And a modern rustic farmhouse in Saugerties, drenched in light so flawless it could humble a Hollywood set. Yes, partner, I was on a mission—a flavorful, aromatic, no-tea-left-behind kind of mission—and the verdict is in: Harney & Sons knows how to steep in style.

From Hot Sips to Iced Elegance: Discovering the Best of Harney & Sons Fine Teas – My Full-On, Cowboy Tea Adventure with Harney & Sons at the Modern Rustic Farmhouse in Saugerties – Product Reviews with Maxwell Alexander – Presented by Harney & Sons Master Tea Blenders

From the moment those elegantly designed tins arrived, I knew we were in for a full-on tea-tasting rodeo. My team and I gathered at the farmhouse, turned on the kettle, and dove headfirst into the steamy world of Harney’s best blends. We brewed, we sipped, we nodded thoughtfully like we were judging the finals of a Parisian tea-off, and occasionally, we broke into spontaneous cowboy two-steps in the kitchen.

Because when tea is this good, you don’t just drink it—you make it a lifestyle.

Best Sellers That Truly Slay

We started with the Best Sellers Box – 4 Classic Tins, which felt like the tea equivalent of an all-star lineup. And let me tell you, these blends do not mess around.

• Paris was the showstopper—fruity, floral, and oh-so-elegant. It’s Earl Grey’s flirty cousin who just got back from art school and smells faintly of bergamot and mischief.

  

• Earl Grey Supreme came in classic and confident, like the quiet hottie at the bar who knows exactly what they’re doing.

• Hot Cinnamon Spice was drama in a cup—bold, unapologetic, and kind of perfect for cozy fireside tea gossip.

  

• English Breakfast was the grounding force of the group: robust, smooth, and the tea equivalent of a reassuring hand on your shoulder when life gets messy.

Every sip felt like a statement. These teas didn’t just warm the cup—they warmed the soul and absolutely lit up the farmhouse like it was a tea-scented film set.

The Wellness Twist: Hemp Moringa Magic

Of course, I couldn’t resist diving into the Wellness Trio Gift Set, and honey, when I tell you the Hemp Moringa blend became my new personality, I am not exaggerating. Earthy and grounding, but still delightfully refreshing, it brewed like a meditation session and tasted like green gratitude. Sipping it in my white cowboy hat and deep purple shirt, I felt like a self-care shaman with a mission: hydrate, harmonize, and look good doing it.

This tea? It doesn’t just serve flavor—it serves inner peace, hydration goals, and a subtle wink that says, “Yes, I compost.”

Iced Tea, But Make It Couture

And because it’s summer—and because I have zero chill when it comes to cocktail inspiration—I took things to the next level by launching the Hudson Valley Iced Tea right there at the farmhouse. Inspired by Long Island’s wild-child classic, but reimagined with a Hudson Valley heart and Harney & Sons soul, it’s a sassy little number served in a champagne flute.

Local apple brandy, botanical gin, pomegranate juice, elderflower, and of course, Harney’s fine teas brought it to life like a Pride parade in a glass. Want the full recipe?

Final Verdict: 10/10 Would Sip Again (and Again)

So, did Harney & Sons live up to the hype? Absolutely. These teas aren’t just delicious—they’re experienced. They bring sophistication to your mornings, comfort to your evenings, and a little extra flair to your iced cocktail creations.

Whether you’re sipping Paris from vintage china or brewing Hemp Moringa like a wellness cowboy, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a new kind of ritual—one where every cup is part self-care, part performance art.

And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
