So good!
I had a cup(or more) at a friends house and I had to come home and order my own. This is so good any time of the day or evening.

This is a potent blend of black teas with burnt toffee notes. It's a powerful breakfast tea for those who enjoy smoky sweetness. Try it with milk to get a fantastic crème brûlée flavor. Ice it for an intense twist on classic iced tea.

This tea is fantastic! It has a dark golden brown liquor, and a lovely smokey, sweet aroma. The smokiness of the Lapsang Souchong blends nicely with the sweet notes of toffee flavor. I added a tiny bit of Sweet Cream to this tea, to sweeten it, and to mellow the flavor slightly. It tastes absolutely wonderful. Part of me wants to add some Cocoa Powder to this, to see it I can make it taste like a liquid Skor Bar, or Heath Bar. I highly recommend this tea!
Delicious!
I would prefer a stronger toffee flavor, but this is still pretty good, especially for people who like coffee flavors.
Thank you for your honest review, Candice H. We're sorry you didn’t love Golden Arrow. Our Customer Support Team will contact you shortly.
I've been drinking August Uncommon tea for years. My tea preference is definitely on the smoky and strong side, and sometimes I like to switch it up with other flavors, but I always come back to Golden Arrow. It is so comforting and calming. August definitely got the smoke flavor right with their teas. I've tried other brands that advertise smoky flavors that taste like they straight up added liquid smoke with a heavy hand that completely obliterates the flavor and aroma of the actual tea. You won't find that here. The teas are so subtly smoky in such a warm, comforting way. Less in the actual smoker barrel and more in a big library that happens to have a fireplace. The strong black tea lineup here is incredible, and each is unique in their flavor profile. My morning tea rotation is: Golden Arrow, Breakfast, Low Country, and Civil Disobedience. They're all 5-star teas in my house! You can taste the blended flavors and pull different tastes depending on how you brew it and what you add. I drink Golden Arrow as a latte, double+ strength (2.5 scoops!) with a cup of steamed whole milk and 1 cube of La Perruche pure cane sugar and it is more tasty than anything I've ever bought at a coffee or tea house. Golden arrow personified is a big, strong guardian that gives sweet, gentle hugs. If you like strong black tea balanced with a hint of sweet, give this one a try!
