Harney Sons Palm Court Black Tea Loose by the Pound

Center court for New York's tea world is the Plaza Hotel's Palm Court. This classic blend of four teas is the tea choice in that baroque room. Have a cup at home and imagine yourself relaxing in that splendid palace on Fifth Avenue. This was one of John Harney's first tea blends. He kept it simple and that is the reason for its success. The steady flavors of the three teas are superbly contrasted with muted peach notes of the Formosa Oolong. Dry Leaves Mostly black and dark brown leaves with a few small golden leaves. Liquor A medium-brown with a slight reddish hue. Aroma The toasty peach notes waft over the muted malt and citrus aromas. Caffeine Level Caffeinated Body This is a medium bodied tea.

The lightly toasted peach flavor combinations are what makes this tea special. Brewing Time 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature 212° F
