Low Country - Bourbon Sugar Black Tea - 15 cup bag

Done! You will be notified when this item is back in stock.

Tastes Like: burnt sugar, buckwheat, chicory, bourbon
Feels Like: the forward familiarity of the south

This tea 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.

    FANTASTIC !

    This quickly became a new favorite for me when I first ordered it. I can see why it’s almost always sold out! I had to subscribe because I don’t want to run out! The bourbon flavor really shines through and I find this to be a true comfort tea. I highly recommend, but just don’t cause them to run out!

    Definitely not for me

    I've wanted to love this tea based on other reviews. It was the nastiest tea I've ever tried. Honey didn't help. Butter butter butter

    Didn't realize the smokey flavor would be so strong

    My favorite iced tea.

    I love the flavor of the Low Country Bourbon Sugar Black Tea in both the Decaf and the fully caffeinated versions. I keep a gallon of it in my fridge at all times. Great for grabbing a refreshing gold drink on these hot summer days.
