There’s something timeless about sharing a cup of tea — especially with the person who’s been there through every season of life. This Mother’s Day, Harney & Sons makes it easier than ever to turn those moments into memories with their Teabag & Honey Sampler, a beautifully curated gift box filled with 60 tea bags and a selection of golden honeys to match.
Harney & Sons isn’t just a tea company — it’s a family story nearly four decades in the making. Founded in 1983 by John Harney, what began as a basement hobby blending teas for inn guests soon grew into a full-fledged passion project. John’s early commitment to crafting high-quality blends laid the foundation for what would become one of the most respected names in the tea world. He brought his two sons into the fold early on, and today, the Harney family continues to run the business with the same hands-on dedication and love for tea.
From floral notes to bold breakfast blends, the Teabag & Honey Sampler offers a flavorful journey through the Harney & Sons collection. Each tea bag is individually wrapped, making the presentation just as lovely as the taste. Whether your mom is a seasoned tea connoisseur or just loves a cozy cup in the afternoon, there’s something for every mood and palate.
I started with the Organic Green with Citrus & Ginkgo, and it immediately became a comforting favorite. The soothing warmth, balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a dab of spice, had a nostalgic feel that made me smile. It’s the kind of tea that feels like a warm hug in a cup, perfect for quiet moments of reflection.
Next, I tried the Egyptian Chamomile, which offered a gentler, more floral experience. Its delicate spice and softer touch provided a peaceful escape, inviting deep breaths and serene thoughts. It’s the ideal tea to unwind with after a busy day.
And the Raspberry Herbal? From the moment I opened the tea bag, I was greeted with an amazing fragrance. Flavorful, fruity, and bursting with berry goodness, this tea was delightful all on its own — no extra sweeteners needed. Simply delicious, it brought a little burst of joy to my tea ritual.
But what truly sets this sampler apart is the experience it creates. It’s not just about the tea — it’s about pausing to enjoy something beautiful, together. Whether you’re sharing a cup with your mom or treating yourself, the Teabag & Honey Sampler invites you to slow down, savor, and reconnect.
From six original offerings — including Earl Grey, Darjeeling, and Gunpowder — to now over 300 blends enjoyed on all seven continents, Harney & Sons has come a long way while staying true to its roots.
They’ve always been ahead of their time, from securing one of the first toll-free numbers for tea orders (800-TEA-TIME) to placing their blends in world-class retailers like Williams Sonoma and luxury hotels like The Ritz-Carlton. But their success hasn’t come at the planet’s expense. The company has committed to sustainability through initiatives like carbon-neutral shipping with EcoCart and membership in 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of their sales to environmental causes.
At its heart, Harney & Sons remains a family business built on tradition, craftsmanship, and the belief that a great cup of tea can bring people together — just like it did in John Harney’s inn all those years ago.
