We discovered one delicious cup of tea right in our own backyard. Harney & Sons was founded in 1983 by James Harney right here in Connecticut. By focusing on high quality ingredients and masterful blends, Harney Tea is turning up in the most fashionable restaurants and top hotels like the Four Seasons, just to drop a name. Check them out in their ultra cool tasting room in Soho, New York City, or peruse The Harney and Sons Guide to Tea, co-authored by Michael Harney (son of company founder John). It was nominated for a James Beard Foundation book award in 2009.
