Black Metallic - Violet Elderberry Black Tea - 15 cup bag

Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, blackberry, incense
Feels Like: stargazing on an empty beach

The aroma of darkly seductive violet flowers fills the air. In the first sip purple flowers meet dark elderberry and ripe blackberry. This is a magical black, oolong, and smoked tea blend with rich floral and black berry notes. Berry flavors are deepened by slatey tannins. A faint smokiness lingers in the finish, reminiscent of far-off incense and candle smoke from the smoked lapsang souchong tea. A touch of milk softens the tannins and brightens the berry and floral flavors. An elegant tea for afternoon or with a special dessert. A tea for lovers of violet, dark berries, and incense.

Love my tea

These two are my all time favorites. Each one has a special flavor of their own. The one with coffee is my go to for an afternoon pick me up. My other is my mid morning tea while I have my quiet time. I truly enjoy them. 💕
