Our Review
Our Founder ran the White Hart Inn in Salisbury, Connecticut for almost 25 years. And Holidays in the Fall were very busy. It was during that time that Mike fell in love with the tart taste of cranberries. And that is why he loves to make blends that incorporate cranberries.

Smells and tastes like a Fig Newton
Average Review:

I love this tea so much that I took a tin of it to work with me one day to share with a coworker. She took one smell of it and exclaimed, "This smells exactly like a Fig Newton!" I then smelled it and had to agree. I had drank lots of this tea but had not made the connection between it and one of my favorite cookies. Now I think of it as my Fig Newton tea.

Best Flavored Tea Yet!
Average Review:

I have been slowly working my way through the flavored teas blended by Harney and Sons and this is my favorite thus far. The aroma is enchanting and instantly makes me relaxed. An absolute must-try!

Average Review:

This tea is great, I with it was a little heavier on the cranberrys, but not everyone likes them as much as me. This one has just the right amount of almond flavor, quite relaxing.

A nice smooth tea
Average Review:

This tea doesn't have a strong cranberry flavor like the autumn tea from Harney's. It's more of an abstract berry flavor. The almond is slight, but it serves to round out the tea and give it a smooth finish without the bite from the cranberry flavor. Overall, it's a very nice tea. It could become one of my regulars.

Good but mostly cranberry, not much almond,
Average Review:

This tea has an interesting aroma; it’s not quite fruity, not quite floral, and almost vanilla. The flavor is a subtle, slightly sour cranberry taste with a very light, almost unnoticeable almond finish. It also seems to taste a little like vanilla. Cream and sugar soften the sourness and bring out the almond a little more. I would personally prefer the almond flavor to be a little more pronounced, but I’m not a big fan of cranberry. I’d be delighted if Harney & Sons offered a tea with just almond flavoring hint, hint, Harneys!. My preferences aside, I think this is indeed a good tea for cranberry lovers.

One of my favorite black teas
Average Review:

I almost didn't buy this tea. For one, it is not available in sample and I was not sure if I was going to like it enough to have 4 ounces of it. Also, it just didn't sound as exciting or exotic as the Paris, Florance, or, Bangkok. I shrugged and ordered the 4 ounce tin anyways. Wow, was I ever glad I did! You really taste the cranberries and the almond adds just a hint of creaminess to it. Add a little bit of milk and you are set. You know a tea is really good when you realize the caffeine in it will keep you up, but you can't resist a cup anyway.

Mellow and lovely
Average Review:

I ordered Boston after having Cranberry Autumn and thought I might be getting a different version of essentially the same tea. Not so. This has a completely different character. It is smooth and mellow, and makes me wish or a chilly rainy day to cuddle up with a cup and a book. My guest loved it, even without milk or sugar. The aroma is soothing and deeply satisfying.
