Our Review

Few buildings have the history of the Tower of London. First it was a fort. Then it became the royal prison, so there were some unhappy endings here. It has even stored the Crown Jewels. So when we were commissioned by the Historic Royal Palaces to do a tea in honor of it, we took it seriously (who wants to do time there?) The color of the tin is inspired by amethyst.

Not what I was expecting

Average Review:

From the description this tea seemed like something I would enjoy, however it turned out to be a very strong yet muddled flavor. I was expecting something closer the the Diamond Jubilee, and received something that was nowhere close.

FANTASTIC TEA!!

Average Review:

Now I am a regular coffee drinker, but only once a day (mornings) but I was recently stuck at home for a week with bronchitis and research on the internet said hot drinks would be good for my throat and aid in reducing the coughing so I started sipping some tea I had in the house. It worked well, but I wanted something better than what I could find in the store so I went to Harney's website!! I ordered a sample of this tea and decided to try tea with milk for the first time ever. And WOW!! It was SOOO delicious and soothing! Needless to say I ordered the 1 lb bag today and can't wait to get it because my sample is all gone. YOU MUST TRY THIS TEA! Very fragrant and tasty, especially when sweetened with demerara sugar. Exceptional flavor and aroma!

My number one!

Average Review:

I have over 50 different H&S Teas and this one, by a wide wide margin is my favorite, breakfast lunch and dinner and anywhere in between it is perfect. With or with out suger, milk or honey it is in a class of its own. It smells superb, and the taste is just heaven. I am amazed that this tea doesn't cost more. Its taste is complex and smooth, I cannot say enough about this tea. Dont waste you time on the small tin, you will need at least a pound, I sure did!

LOVE

Average Review:

I bought this tea at the Tower of London gift shop and fell in love. I live in NJ. I got so sad when I thought I couldnt get it again. I made my brother buy it when he went to london later. But now its online and I'm in heaven. Best tea ever!

Average Review:

Needs nothing more but a pretty glass!

Heather 4/18/11

Simply Awesome

Average Review:

Paris is my all time favorite, but Tower of London is a very close second. I highly, highly recommend giving this one a try!

Jeff 8/9/10

Smooth and flavorful

Average Review:

For the past nine years, my favorite has been F&M's Royal Blend, but now unobtainable unless a trip to London, which sent me looking for an alternative. The Tower of London is exquisitely smooth and flavorful, and is my new favorite- and - it is readily available!!! I have a dozen Harney & Son teas now and love them all.

Ruth 6/15/10

Delicious on this hot summer day!

Average Review:

This tea was a surprise gift from my husband. I usually add sugar to my tea, but drank this one straight since I was having tea with a friend who never adds it. It was DELICIOUS! I detected no briskness, just silky smooth flavor, mild but not wimpy! Must have more. Wish we could buy refills for our tins instead of having to get a whole new tin. : I think it would probably be great iced as well.

Spoony 1/1/10

Smooth and aromatic

Average Review:

I love this tea; the description does it no justice. It's so fragrant--more like vanilla caramel than honey--but the flavor is pure smooth, mellow black tea. It's rather brisk; tastes nice with milk. My taste in tea is only for full-bodied black tea; I dislike flavored teas. I bought this on a whim, and am so glad I did. You won't believe the wonderful smell of this tea!

Delicious!!

Average Review:

I just received my Tower of London tea today. I couldnt wait to have my first cup. It is delicious!! It reminds me of the Paris tea which is one of my top favorites. It is the perfect dessert tea. Thank You Harney and Sons for another delicious tea!!
