Maybe this tea is worth the price, which is pretty low, but really, 5 stars? I am struggling to give it 3. No real distinctive flavor, easily overbrews at 3.5 minutes. Pay the extra price and buy the Mangalam.

I have had a standing order of Organic Assam from Harney's for over 10 years, and I drink it every weekday morning for breakfast. I brew it strong for four minutes and cut it with a little milk (no sugar or honey), and it's got a great flavor with just the right amount of wake-up boost. The best thing about this tea is its body. It's very substantial, honest tea. Thanks, Harney!

I do like to mix it up and try other Assam's, but just keep coming back for more of this tea. Knowing I will soon be settled down with the morning newspaper and a pot of Organic Assam makes getting out of bed just fine. It's tasty, and just a truly delicious cuppa.

This tea is wonderful -
full of flavor but not bitter. Wonderful without any sweetener, but
also accepts sugar or honey without being overpowered. Definitely going
to become a standard flavor to keep on hand at all times in my
cupboard. My 3-year-old asks for it by name!

This the first Harney and Sons tea that I was introduced to during high tea at Bellagio's Petrossian, and is still my favorite even though I've bought several Harney & Sons teas since. It is rich, malty and strong without being harsh or bitter.

I just had this tea at a Ruths Chris Steak House and came home and had to immediately look it up on the internet. This has to be my favorite new black tea. The description says that it has a honey flavor, but I could not taste it. It has a wonderful flavor and does not have the sharp, bitter qualities of some black teas.
