Harney & Sons Fine Teas allows you to return items within 30 days. Returns are processed by mail, and refunds are issued as store credit rather than cash back to your original payment method.

How returns work

To return an item, contact Harney & Sons by phone or email with any questions. Include a copy of your packing slip with a note explaining the reason for your return and what outcome you want (refund, replacement, or exchange). Then mail your package to the Harney & Sons Fine Teas address provided by the retailer.

Exclusions and restrictions

Opened tea is eligible only for store credit, not a refund. Non-food items must be unused and in their original packaging to be eligible for a refund. Quality control issues and defects are eligible for store credit even after the 30-day return window has closed.

Refunds

All refunds are issued as store credit toward future purchases. If you received a gift, store credit will be issued for your return.
