Tastes Like: burnt sugar, buckwheat, chicory, bourbon
Feels Like: the forward familiarity of the south

This tea has the ostentatious warmth of a Southern drawl. It's got robust body and character to match. In the first sip, the chewiness of burnt sugar mingles with the dark, rich flavor of buttery buckwheat hotcakes and finally, a latent chicory note. A drop of milk adds a whisper of bourbon. This is a fantastic morning tea to rival an English breakfast. Its potent charm ambles all the livelong day. Recommended for coffee lovers and whisky drinkers.

    Low Country Bourbon Sugar

    Low Country Bourbon Sugar is nice for now and then, but I prefer a strong, unflavored Irish Breakfast for my morning tea.

    My Forever Go-To Tea

    If you’re looking for a tea that feels like home, this is it. August Tea’s Low Country is a masterpiece of flavor—think rich caramel, dark chicory, and a hint of smoky bourbon. It’s my absolute favorite morning go-to. I take mine with unsweetened almond milk and a drizzle of honey, which makes it taste like a decadent, liquid treat. It’s warm, cozy, and perfectly balanced. I never want to be without this on my shelf!

    One of my favorites

    Low Country is one I go back to time and again. While good any time of day, it does make for a wonderful morning cup of tea to go with breakfast. There is a bitterness reminiscent of coffee or whiskey as said in the description, but it isn't overwhelming. Paired with milk and your favorite sweetener, it makes a delicious cup of tea.
