Low Country: Bourbon Sugar Black Tea

$13.75
Size

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.

Just Yum!

This tea is the perfect amount of sweetness and as a non-bourbon drinker, I don't taste anything my palate disagrees with! It's not only good in the morning, but in the evening either alone; or with a bit of amaretto (it may be good with actual bourbon as well!)

My go to August Uncommon Tea

I have tried several teas from August Uncommon Tea, and love the samplers! But this is the one that I keep coming back to. I make it in the morning and drink all day.
