InStyle Magazine

February 2012

We were just thrilled to see that Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum mentioned Harney & Sons’ very own Hot Cinnamon Spice tea in the February 2012 of InStyle Magazine. She’s not the only one who won’t leave home without her favorite tea blend.

When we posted this on our Facebook page, we found out that quite a few of our fans have their own particular blends which they also insist on bringing with them whenever they leave home.

Haven’t tried Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea yet? Maybe now is the time! Available loose, in sachets, in teavags, and as a part of numerouns elegant gifts.

    My favorite Harney & Sons tea is one I blend myself, using 1/2 Hot Cinnamon Spice, 1/4 Chai and 1/4 Gunpowder in my H & N teapot and difuser. My husband and I have an afternoon ritual enjoying our unique cup of tea and cookie, lemon bar or brownie bites. We add milk and a sweetener instead of sugar. I, too, will take my own mix on an upcoming trip so I recharge each afternoon. Thanks for many years of perfect tea! Bev in Las Cruces, NM
