Harney & Sons SoHo

Tea good. Love the NYC blend - makes a good souvenir. You get a free tea tasting before purchase. Their iced tea is pretty decent.

The main thing in the middle of the store is their tea bar where you can try out different teas brewed to perfection by the workers. The first 2 are free but you can continue to try others for 5$ each. The back of the store is their cafe (around 6 tables) and they have they have tea flights and an afternoon tea (1 pot of tea and two scones) I highly recommend their tea service and the scones were delicious! I got the normal vanilla scones with the tea as well as the white chocolate lavendar.

Went on a weekday afternoon, ordered the cream tea which came with a teapot of my choice and 2 scones with cream and preserves. I ended up ordering the paris for my tea of choice recommended by the staff. Total $15.24. The vibes were nice and the scones were delightful. Nice relaxing atmosphere with tea and a sweet treat. Overall 8.5/10.

As a loyal customer of Harney & Sons for many years, I can confidently say this brand has completely redefined my tea experience. I’ve explored nearly every corner of their exquisite tea palette—from classic black teas to delicate whites, vibrant herbals, and rare blends—and each one has been a masterclass in quality and flavor. What sets Harney & Sons apart is their unwavering commitment to excellence. Every tea I’ve tried has been consistently fresh, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. Whether it’s the elegant sophistication of Earl Grey blend or the comforting refresh of raspberry tea, I’ve never once been disappointed. I’ve sampled countless other brands over the years, but none have matched the craftsmanship and care that Harney & Sons pours into every tin and sachet. At this point, I have no desire to go back to any other tea company—this is home. If you’re someone who truly appreciates high-quality tea, Harney & Sons is a brand that will speak to your soul. Their teas aren’t just beverages—they’re experiences.

I love tea and this was absolutely a wonderful experience. I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of teas but also I was like a kid in a candy store. The packaging was so beautiful and I immediately thought about reusing them as decorative pieces. What I enjoyed most was chatting with the tea sommelier's and trying the delicious samples they had to try. I loved that you can try a tea sample of your choosing for free and then $3 for any other samples. This was a great way to try a tea to be sure you like it before buying. Service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. They also had a sit down area to try tea and get tea to go. I also loved how the had the tea like a library with a ladder to get them, so cute, library of teas. I definitely bought tea to bring back home but will definitely be ordering from them until I can get back to NY to visit again.
