    A very good simple black tea that does not need flavoring, flowers or nuts added to it.

    A Gift For Mom

    My mother is not a loose leaf tea lover, she prefers tea bags and doesn’t enjoy many flavored teas. so in order for me to get her to drink quality tea, I have to find tea bags. Along comes August Uncommon Black Gold. I bought her a canister for a Christmas gift, she loved it. So up next her 84th birthday, hers to my tea loving mom not drinking grocery store tea. Thank you for providing a quality tea with convenience.

    UGH SO GOOD

    Englishperson, lifelong black + milk drinker. I pretty much only drink flavoured black teas as my 'dailies' now (Passage, Silencio, Low Country etc) & never thought I'd go back to a 'plain' black tea. HOW WRONG I WAS. Black Gold is so sophisticated whilst still having so much flavour, I have it with milk almost every afternoon. It's quite strong so I have to be careful not to brew it as long as I do something like Passage, it gets too bitter for me quite quickly. Stays robust & yummy with milk. If you love flavoured black teas OR if you love plain black teas I think Black Gold might have something for you!
