Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, incense
Feels Like: stargazing on an empty beach
Our favorite smoky floral afternoon tea. Now in tea bags for the first time This tea that is so uniquely delicious, it makes people leave other brands for good.
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.
Ingredients
yunnan black tea, formosa finest oolong tea, taiwanese lapsang souchong black tea, blue mallow flowers, flavoring

As Seen On
I just feel in Love ❤️ with this tea it's aromatic,so yummy I can't ever be without it. It's truly amazing. Patricia Maiorino
Love the taste and aroma. Fills kitchen with 😋🧁 smells.
Test great and warm on a cool morning
Long ago I had a set of Mikasa china called Nightshades. It was all black with a pattern of violets on the rim. That would be the perfect vintage cup for Black Metallic. It's one of the best smelling (and best looking!) floral teas, both in the tin and in the pot - and the strong violet/elderflower taste follows through. Another one that I'd love to try iced or in a cocktail.
I love this tea and the floral tones it has. It's my morning ritual now! I love it...
I REALLY wanted to like this. All the reviews had me so curious! But the smokiness of this tea makes it takes like cold medicine to me. I definitely taste the elderberry & blackberry, which I normally LOVE! But if it wasn't for the smoky flavor, I would probably like it. I tried it hot and iced and just can't finish the bag. :(
Thank you for your honest review, Diana P. We're sorry you didn’t enjoy Black Metallic. Our Customer Support Team will contact you shortly.
