Harney & Sons created RMS Titanic Blend as a tribute to the tragedy and heroism of A Night to Remember. P. H. Nargeolet, one of the divers with the French exploratory group at Woods Hole in Massachusetts when the Titanic was found, encouraged John Harney to create a commemorative tea to honor the 100th anniversary of those who perished when the Titanic sank. John created this special blend to reflect the quality of tea that was served on that voyage. It features Chinese Keemun, one of the last teas from China that the British still consumed in 1912. By then, they had mostly shifted to black teas from Assam, India, and Ceylon. The blend also includes Formosa Oolong, which was popularized in both the UK and the US by an enterprising Brit. This blend would have been recognizable to tea lovers of that era.

A family collaboration gave rise to HT: Unique & Uncommon Tea blends. HT is grounded in the Harney tradition of providing the finest quality full-leaf teas and herbs, all packed in a stunning silked tea sachet. You can now enjoy the sophistication of full-leaf teas with teabag convenience.

Each HT tin contains 20 tea sachets.
