The Tea Ritual: Why Harney & Sons Belongs on Your Shelf
In Ayurveda, the morning ritual begins before the first meal. Tongue scraping, oil pulling, warm water with lemon, and often, a cup of tea chosen for its specific properties: warming or cooling, stimulating or calming, depending on the season, the dosha, and the needs of the day. Tea is not a beverage in this tradition. It is a practice.
Harney & Sons has been blending fine teas for over 40 years, building one of the most respected tea houses in America. Their teas are chosen for quality, sourced from the world's finest growing regions, and blended with the same attention to craft that a perfumer brings to fragrance. The packaging is beautiful. The ritual around them is even better.
