I'm not someone who usually reviews teas - just because I try so many from a myriad of different local tea shops and online tea shops. I have my usual favorites and I'm generally pretty skeptical of expensive shops like August Uncommon, simply because I've had some excellent reasonably priced tea. That being said, of all the teas I've gotten from pricey tea shops, this one has made the biggest impression on me. It's a surprisingly good tea that really stands out from the others on the site. I'm not sure how much AU promotes this one, but it's a winner. The amount of energy this green tea gives me totally makes me want to replace my usual black tea from Harney and Sons and the Tea Spot. The smell and taste are actually spot on based on the description. I probably won't buy too many other teas from this shop because it's just too expensive, but I would commit to this one. Customer service is also great - so the store at least has some good ethical practices.
