Black Metallic - Violet Elderberry Black Tea (15 Tea Bags)

Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, incense
Feels Like: stargazing on an empty beach

The aroma of darkly seductive violet flowers fills the air. In the first sip purple flowers meet dark elderberry and ripe blackberry. This is a magical black, oolong, and smoked tea blend with rich floral and black berry notes. Berry flavors are deepened by slatey tannins. A faint smokiness lingers in the finish, reminiscent of far-off incense and candle smoke from the smoked lapsang souchong tea. A touch of milk softens the tannins and brightens the berry and floral flavors. An elegant tea for afternoon or with a special dessert. A tea for lovers of violet, dark berries, and incense.

🍂Why Our Tea Bags Are Better

More Flavor In Every Cup
The average tea bag has only 2 grams of tea per bag. Ours have 3.5 grams of tea. That's 60% more tea in every bag. More tea = more flavor.

The Best Ingredients
Our tea uses super premium whole ingredients including whole leaf tea, dried fruit and herbs, and whole spices. Our tea comes from traditional tea estates in the best growing regions on earth. It’s quality you can see, smell, and taste.

100% Plant-Based Tea Bags
Our tea bags are made of plant-based, non-gmo neosoilon mesh, made of sugarcane fiber. No bleach or petrochemicals.

    Wow

    When I initially opened the package, I literally exclaimed "oh. My. God." The smell was fantastic. I've since brewed it multiple times hot and cold, and both are equally amazing. I keep buying the 4 cup sampler because the bigger bags are sold out.

    So Aromatic

    Love this tea. I've been working on the last pack I got for a while and just received a new one--I forgot how fragrant it is, I audibly gasped when I opened the pack. For anyone who thinks floral can't be mouthwatering...I dare you to get this tea and try to say the same!

    Unique

    Trying to find a floral tea to replace A Field in Innsbruck, my all-time fav. I like black metallic on occasion, but it’s a little too perfume-y to drink on the daily. The flavors overpower the tea a bit, but it’s nice to have in the rotation.

    One my top three or four

    Sometimes this is my very favorite tea, sometimes it is Civil Disobedience or Metropolitan. All wonderful drinks. August Teas are converting me from a 40 oz per day coffee drinker to a 70 oz per day tea drinker.

    Aroma Therapy

    With its alluring floral and fruity fragrance, Black Metallic is aroma therapy in a cup. Hot or cold, this intoxicating black tea is soothing and relaxing, providing a great way to start the day or finding peace and calm in the middle of a stressful one. This is why I always keep Black Metallic on my shelf.
