Nestled in the hills of north-western Connecticut, you'll find a quaint shop unlike any other. The Kent Coffee and Chocolate Company has been a "must visit" destination since we opened our doors on July 4, 1991. For the past 16 years, we have been serving freshly roasted coffees, fine teas and a variety of specialty chocolates and hand-dipped truffles.


In 1970, John Harney and a partner bought a tea company from an old tea man, Stanley Mason. Over the next several years, Stanley taught John the art of fine tea. He taught him that loose tea leaves make the best cup; and instilled in him the idea that if you had to produce tea bags, make them the best. So, Harney & Sons tea bags have larger leaves and more of them than the competition.
John formed his own company in 1983 and proceeded to give the staid tea industry a shaking. His concept: sell great tea at a price that would make it an everyday luxury. Slowly but surely, great hotels such as the Ritz Carlton and gourmet shops like Williams Sonoma discovered his teas.
