Feels Like: a majestic mountain lodge

This multi-faceted black tea combines layers of smoke, sweet grilled banana, and sharply fragrant black truffle. The aroma alone overtakes your senses, while the taste draws you deeper into its kaleidoscopic trance. Milk enhances the caramel banana sweetness. Add a touch of booze for a wild and wonderful hot toddy. Recommended for lovers of campfires, scotch and mezcal.

    Black Lodge is the best

    I had been a diehard plain black tea drinker but this has changed everything, the smoky banana flavor is smooth and decadent. My new favorite tea to slow down my morning routine and savor the moment!

    Yummy!

    I would never have paired banana and tea. This is a stunning, smoky tea-banana bonanza! Love it any time of the day. Thank you for the layers of flavor!

    Good coffee alternative

    I like the taste but light on banana and stronger on the coffee flavor. It is super strong as well. Not bad but not what I was looking for.

    Yummy!

    I loved the aroma of The Black Lodge tea. Once I caught a whiff, I had to immediately brew a pot. The fragrance and flavor are very much a treat.
