As Seen On
I'm a big fan of bananas and a big fan of smokey tea. This feels like a dessert in a cup and I love it. Baked banana in caramel, perhaps? One of my favorites.
I was cynical about this one because bananas and truffles does not sound like a good combo. But I really really love bananas so I gave it shot. To my surprise this is one of my favorites. It’s smoky banana, whiskey with a hint of cigar. I tried it with some vanilla soy milk but that seemed to diminish the flavors for me. So I drink it “black”. I had it iced as well which seemed to bring out the smokiness even more. Loved it! I only bought the sample bag but next time I order I will order a larger bag of this. It’s a new favorite along with Dark Iris and Silêncio.
I drink Black Lodge every morning - the banana flavor is NOT subtle and I love it! The Black Lodge is really the perfect in-your-face blend of flavors if you like to splash a little bit of milk and honey into your tea. Honestly? The cup in the photo is empty. I finished it like 10 minutes before I wrote this review. I will be buying more very soon!
I always try other August teas and always like them but this one is my "go to." It has a chocolaty, earthy, mild and somehow bold taste. It is not over sweet. Just right!
I’m new to this whole tea thing. I’ve been a coffee drinker for 25 years, almost exclusively. The Black Lodge got me hooked. It was my gateway and, while I love everything I’ve tried from August Uncommon, The Black Lodge will always be in my order. It’s comforting, complex, fun, and easy. It’s a contradiction in a cup. It’s hard to mess up, and it’s our absolute family favorite.
