🏛️ 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!

Black Gold

I love this tea!! It is incredibly smooth with a rich, deep flavor. Really good by itself, still good with cream. Absolutely 5 stars!

Love The New Essentials

I think I've been waiting for the Essential teas as I tried (and loved) several others. My house is overflowing with Uncommon teas that I share with all my friends when they visit. This one is a favorite with us all.

Malty Morning Mmmm

Now that's how I like my morning tea – rich, malty and robust. I add a dab of 2% milk for extra smoothness. never bitter if you don't over steep it. DElicious!
