Tastes Like: vanilla custard, shortbread cookie, burnt toast
Feels Like: morning in a grand hotel

Our version of English Breakfast has exquisite Assam and Ceylon black teas with smoky lapsang souchong and vanilla bean. The aroma of warm vanilla custard fills your nose from the first sip of this velvety tea. Next, there's a pleasantly tannic bite with a gentle smokiness of ever-so-slightly burnt toast. Finally, the vanilla flavor returns as an intense note of freshly scraped vanilla bean. This delicate smoky vanilla flavor lingers. It’s made to be enjoyed with milk, but if you appreciate smoke, we suggest drinking it black. This tea will make you get out of bed.
A tea for lovers of malty sweet teas.

    5/5 stars

    I have ordered from August Uncommon many times. The tea is always fresh, aromatic and packaged with incredible care. The teas from August far surpass all other premium teas that I've tried. I am hooked on 'Breakfast'.

    Delicious

    The aroma when you open the bag is warm and inviting. This is a cup of tea that I enjoy making as much as I enjoy drinking.

    Great way to start the day

    A great morning tea. The vanilla is not too cloying, and the smoke is subtle yet present.
