Harney & Sons Paris Loose Leaf Black Tea, 16 oz

The smell, flavor, color, and taste are just amazing in this. Its amazing loose leaf tea and every single use has never disappointed me. It's very smooth, easy to use if you have a steeper. I actually like to make a gallon of this at a time and serve it as sweetened iced tea. If you mix 2 parts Paris to 1 part black cask bourbon you get a nice strong yet playful mix that doesnt disappoint.

I really like this tea. The smell of the vanilla carries through the whole cup. I will say the instruction on the can is not correct. 212F and 5min - not the best. Because vanilla is delicate, 205F seep temp. Because bergamot seeping time is better at 2-3 minutes. Can add an astringent feel if longer. This is really important on earl gay teas.

Wonderful tea! This delicate flavor combo far exceeds your anticipated enjoyment of the two predominant flavors (vanilla, grapefruit). It’s perfectly balanced, sweet but not cloying, unique from any other tea I’ve had. I am not a newcomer to Harney’s Paris variety. But this is the first time I have had it as a loose tea instead of their typical triangular, nylon teabags. Much prefer the loose tea due to my preference to reduce waste, specially plastic waste. With the loose tea, the spent leaves go right into the compost. If you want to give your friends and visitors something that will have them asking where they can get the tea themselves, this is it. It is different tasting for a black tea — thin, light in color, with a delicate taste. I like a splash of milk in mine but it’s perfect with nothing added too. Winner!

One of my favorite teas of all time. You can taste the bergamont and the caramel notes. It isnt super strong but is great as iced tea. Id brew it a little extra time if you want a stronger flavor.

This delicious tea has a subtle undertone of black current. It’s a nice clear, strong black tea with this additional flavor element. I really love it. Somebody brought me some from Paris and ever since.

It's not my style. I realized with this one that I'm done buying tea w/ off-beat flavors. Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and other basic black teas for me. It's good tea if you like some flavor. The caramel comes through nicely. It's kind of sweet, but not overly so.

I first heard about this tea on r/tea and decided to see how well it ranked on the Harney & Sons website. At least when I checked it, it was their second most popular infusion, and their first most popular tea, as it was second on their best-selling list after their pure chamomile flowers. I originally bought a 4oz tin to see if I liked it and let me say my expectations were smashed. When I opened the tin, it smelled mainly like blackcurrants and vanilla, with subtle hints of caramel and bergamot. All of those scents are scents I enjoy immensely, so I immediately set my electric kettle to boil some water and filled my tea strainer with about 2 overfull teaspoons since I use a fairly large mug. I let the tea steep for 4:30 like I had read to do on r/tea so as not to have the blackcurrant flavor overwhelm the others, and took a sip. As soon as the Paris touched my tongue, I knew it had just become my new favorite tea. There is very little if any astringency, and it is very slightly sweet even without any sugar or honey added. The flavors all came through nicely, and it is almost dessert-like even when I don't doctor it with milk and honey (which makes it taste good enough to be a dessert and I usually only drink it this way as a treat). Anyway, since I ordered my first 4oz, I started ordering one 16oz bag about every month. I mainly drink this tea in the mornings when I want caffeine but don't want to deal with an angry digestive tract from drinking coffee. I think the fact that this tea is a blend of common black tea and Oolong makes it much easier on my stomach than Ceylon for example. Anyway, overall, amazing tea. Will continue to buy.

Paris blend. Everything about this tea is quality from the tea itself to the tin, presentation etc. it smells and tastes delicious. With that said it’s a bit on the weak side for me. I should’ve known, says exactly what it is on the tin, but I was paying too much attention to flavor types and descriptions. I’m still happy with my purchase simply for the experience and best tea tin I’ve ever seen. I won’t rate it under 5 stars because my issue with it is a personal taste issue, it isn’t my cup of tea so to speak 😅. I would still suggest anyone that’s thinking about it to try it, never know til you do. ETA: I finally made some of this tea with a brewmaster, it’s absolutely excellent in every way(could use a bit more body). Makes a much better tea than using a ball/dunking infuser. I would suggest everyone use this device for any loose leaf.

Cher mais très bon

この茶葉にお湯を入れると、アマ〜い！香りが漂って、うっとり感がします。

Wow, wow, wow. This is easily one of the top 3 teas of I've ever tried. The flavour is exceptional, and it's incredibly well balanced. The tin is handsome and gram per gram it's really not that expensive. I'm definitely going to keep a steady supply of this from now on. Two big thumbs up 👍👍

My absolute favorite tea! Got it as an present for myself because why not indulge in some expensive tea from time to time.

I was looking for a substitute for Mariage Freres's 'Marco Polo' (a wonderful floral tea, but expensive); if you are familiar with this tea, you will probably like the flavor profile of 'Paris'. Paris is much more affordable and delivers great taste and value.
