Tastes Like: burnt sugar, buckwheat, chicory, bourbon
Feels Like: the forward familiarity of the south
Our number one top-selling black tea for almost 10 years. This tea that is so uniquely delicious, it makes people leave other brands for good.
Low Country has the ostentatious warmth of a Southern drawl. It's got robust body and character to match. In the first sip, the chewiness of burnt sugar mingles with the dark, rich flavor of buttery buckwheat hotcakes and finally, a latent chicory note. A drop of milk adds a whisper of bourbon. This is a fantastic morning tea to rival an English breakfast. Its potent charm ambles all the livelong day. Recommended for coffee lovers and whisky drinkers.

As Seen On
Like all other teas I've had so far from August, this was another fine quality tea. I especially love the flavor of this one, but that is subjective and distinct from the quality of the tea. The five stars here are for the quality and craft, which I would give to all the other teas I've tried from August so far, even those that aren't necessarily in my range of favorite flavors. I can still appreciate the quality for all of them.
Nice
I love the strong cowboy-feeling flavor of this tea. Gives a great boost in the morning.
Low country is one of my ultimate favorites (right behind dirty chai). The aroma is so heady can certainly smell the sugary notes. Such a bold flavor!
A wonderful and mellow smokey tea blend
