    Had it this morning—so refreshing

    So many August UnCommon teas are delicious and this is definitely one of them. Golden Arrow is a cup of ASMR! Satisfying, refreshing, calming. Mmmm!

    Amazing taste, with a wonderful finish

    I will start this review by saying I NOT a “tea guy”… or at least I wasn’t. I was the person that Aaron talks about in his videos on IG when he says, “you drink gross tea, you have low expectations, you don’t like tea… and the cycle repeats.”

    I came to August because of the ads for Low Country, but as I shopped around I saw a literal LIST of other flavors to try. I decided that for my first purchase, I would get Low Country and Golden Arrow.

    I started with a cup of Low Country, and then immediately brewed a cup of Golden Arrow… and then struggled to decide which was better. Over the course of the next week, I would switch back and forth trying to “pick a favorite” and I simply can’t. This tea is sooo good that my biggest issue is that I am drinking 5-6 cups per day.

    I just placed an order for more flavors, including Low Country Decaf so that I can keep drinking tea all day without being up all night.

    A Little too Leathery

    This tea is similar to Library but heavier on the “leather” aroma and taste. I drink all my tea black ; maybe this one needs cream and/or sugar to balance it out more.

    Delicious dark tea

    This has been my go-to morning coffee replacement. Just the right amount of smoke and sweet. Will definitely be purchasing more!
