Join host Margaret McSweeney for a special Tea Themed episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History and Hospitality with the true American Masters of Tea and Hospitality Harney & Sons. Visit: https://www.harney.com/. Margaret attended the prestigious Chicago Tea Festival, and into a world of refined elegance and storied heritage for an exclusive one-on-one interview with Michael Harney, the Master Tea Blender of the iconic Harney & Sons. Michael Harney is the author of the greatly respected book The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea, a compendium of the fifty-six teas every tea connoisseur should know. On this special episode, Margaret celebrates the journey of a family-led tea empire that has redefined the luxury of hospitality, exploring the perfect synergy between global sourcing and the art of welcoming with the perfect brew. In 1983, John Harney, Michael’s father, officially launched Harney & Sons. Harney & Sons now reaches tea enthusiasts on all seven continents, including Antarctica.

Margaret’s conversation with Michael Harney explores how the firm translates their family’s philosophy of “mouth-filling umami” and timeless hospitality into every tin.
