🏛️ About the Brand

August Essentials
Classic teas selected for exceptional flavor and uncompromising quality

🍂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.

✨ Quality Tested

All our teas are double tested for pesticide residues, heavy metals, and foreign objects.

Because they’re blended in Germany, all August teas must pass stringent EU pesticide standards, which allow much less pesticide residue than the US FDA.

Whether they are organic, all natural or conventional, all our teas are safe, top quality, and delicious!

Perfect taste

This black gold tea has earned its name. I’m very picky about my tea but this organic black tea greatly exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes dark tea. It goes perfectly with pumpkin flavored desserts 😊

Hubby's 2nd Favorite

This is my hubby's back up to the English Breakfast Tea -

I personally prefer this one myself to the English as it has a stronger tea taste.

He alternates between the English and this tea nightly. Glad we tried it.

Black Gold

What a loose leaf tea should be. Tea in bags tends to be more towards powder. This tea has the appearance of premium tea - long strands of tea with a great taste.
