What exactly does the "natural flavor" consist of?** A: From the Harney and Son's website and the Amazon product description: Ingredients: Black tea, ginger root, cardamom seeds, chocolate flavor, cardamom flavor, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom pods, cinnamon chips and vanilla flavor. Contains natural flavors. Natural flavors usually mean extracts, secondary metabolites that are derived from the plant. So the chocolate flavor is derived from cocoa plant solids without adding cocoa solids to the tea leaves, vanilla flavor is derived from vanilla beans but the tea blend doesn't add vanilla bean pieces. Just a guess, but I'm going on the standard definition of the term. **Q: What tea next? i love this, have ginger peach , make ice tea. like black tea, my fav blackberry black from another vendor (🙀) help!** A: Sounds like you should explore more fruity teas. Lots of people like green teas with fruit highlights. Harvey and sons has a great green tea with coconut you would prob like. **Q: Is this tea organic?** A: Some are and some are not. If it doesn’t say organic on the label then it’s not. **Q: - Is the item durable?** A: Yes. We have ordered multiple times with no problems. ## Frequently Bought Together - Harney & Sons CTC Assam Tea| 16 oz Loose Leaf Tea - Harney & Sons Tea, White Christmas, 30 Count - Harney & Sons Holiday Heritage Colonial Williamsburg Blend | Black Tea with Warm Apple, Cinnamon, and Orange Peel,20 Count (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246061351-harney-and-sons-ctc-assam-loose-leaf-black-tea-bold](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246061351-harney-and-sons-ctc-assam-loose-leaf-black-tea-bold) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
