Malachi McCormick

A tea blended in honor of Malachi McCormick, the tea author of Irish blood. His handmade book "A Decent Cup of Tea" is small, but speaks volumes concerning the difficulty in finding well-prepared tea in hotels.

Our Review

In the 1980's John Harney was at the barricades of the tea revolution. When Malachi McCormick hand published (on his tiny press) A Decent Cup of Tea, John fell in with this fellow traveler. Together they did a few tea projects; one was this tea. It has been described as 'a pure and simple tea that is unpretentious and affordable'.

Great tea!

Average Review:

This is a great blend, the perfect midday tea.

Ryan 9/22/11

Indeed a decent cup of tea

Average Review:

This is a very dark brew with an odd aroma I canâ€™t quite place. The flavor is straight-forward and quite good. I can taste the Assam and the Keemun. This is a full-bodied blend and goes well with cream and sugar. For folks who just want a decent cup of tea, this one is perfect.

Holly 4/6/11

A well-rounded cup

Average Review:

As someone else on here wrote, it IS like a favorite sweater... Gives you that warm, cozy feeling - even on the chilliest afternoon. Perfectly comforting.

Martha 12/1/10

Good Stuff!

Average Review:

Having borrowed and read McCormick's charming manifesto A Decent Cup of Tea from the public library, I think Harney & Sons has delivered what McCormick asks for: a pure and simple tea that is unpretentious and affordable. It has a hearty, full flavor but also tastes crisp and light. Aroma is earthy and toasted. Don't miss out on this.

Danny 8/20/10

Amazing

Average Review:

This is it. This is the best black tea blend in the world. I have had them all, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It stands out even among the rest of Harney's superb offerings.

Stacey 3/30/10

Simple, competent, and always pleasing.

Average Review:

This is a good, steady tea. You can enjoy it regardless of caprices of mood or weather. The flavour is warm and cozy, smooth and comfortable. Kind of like a favourite sweater ...

Marian 10/14/09

My Favorite Black Tea!

Average Review:

I first tried this tea because the name tickled me. Now, when I want an uncomplicated black tea to be consumed without milk or sweetener, this ultra smooth blend is the first one I reach for. It is far more than simply a decent cup of tea.

Terri

Excellent Tea

Average Review:

We drink this most mornings, very flavorful!

Peter

Really Good Tea

Average Review:

This is one of the best teas I have tried from H & S. It has a very complex but smooth flavor and is definitely good with milk and sugar.

Sonya

Crago

Average Review:

Didn't like this tea at all. First one from this company that turned me away. To bland with oddness and unpleasant aroma.

Jennifer

My favorite tea for breakfast....

Average Review:

I am one who loves a good Keemun tea. With the addition of Assam to Keemun, this blend packs the perfect punch in the morning for me. It adds just a bit more briskness without adding too much astringency. Perfect in the morning for one who does not add milk to tea, even though I think it would stand up to milk nicely.
