Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, 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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say this black tea blend offers a complex, sophisticated flavor profile combining violet, elderberry, and floral notes with a robust black tea base. Many reviews mention the exceptional aroma, describing it as fragrant and beautiful both dry and when brewing. Users appreciate the balanced taste that's not overly sweet or bitter, with some noting subtle smoky undertones. The tea works well both hot and iced, with many enjoying it as an afternoon pick-me-up or morning ritual. While most praise its unique, wine-like complexity, a few find the floral notes too strong or soapy for their taste. Common feedback includes its versatility with additions like honey, milk, or sugar, and its popularity as a gift.

The loveliest Tea Ever
August Tea Company's Black Metallic tea is SO good I want to start every day with a cup. If I don't get my morning cup, I feel cheated. It has a deep, richness to it, with notes of floral and a subtle fruitiness that lingers with each swallow. It is simply, in a word, Lovely. I wish it also came in Decaf so I could drink it all day long!!

Amazing Violet Tea!!
I LOVE violet tea (and violet perfume, violet everything!) and I love “perfumey” teas that are done well, and this one is amazing! The scent straight from the bag is heavenly and once the hot water hits it, it becomes VERY fragrant, basically filling my kitchen with the beautiful scent of violet and purple berries. It is a blend of black teas so don’t let the lapsang souchong scare you if you’re not a fan, it’s just a tiny hint of smokiness that balances this tea out wonderfully.
If you don’t like scented tea or anything perfume-like, this won’t be for you but if you enjoy beautifully fragrant and wonderful tasting teas that go beyond basic black, this is a must try!
