The Black Lodge: Smoky Banana Black Tea

Rated 4.6 out of 5
Based on 275 reviews

Tastes Like: black truffle, damp peat, grilled banana, percolator coffee
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.

Garbage product from a Garbage Company. Don’t buy anything from August, nor through their Shop partnership

Doesn't make a strong impression

I love most of the August teas, and especially the smoky ones like Golden Arrow, Mojave and Low Country. I was hoping this one would be strikingly different, but the banana flavoring is very subtle and the truffle overtakes it. Not one of my favorites.

Loved it

Had a really good banana flavor and it’s you add a little bit of cream to it just makes it velvety almost like a banana cream pie

Banana Yum!

Perfect when I want something slightly sweet but not overbearing. My fave.

a little confusing but overall tasty

the sweet notes of caramel and banana mesh well with the savory-ish, deeper flavors of the smokiness and notes of coffee. well-balanced, not too rich, but not something i would reach for regularly--more like a rare treat to enjoy on occasion. the initial smell did throw me off but i'm counting that as a point in its favor because i enjoy interesting teas
