Black Metallic: Violet Elderberry Black Tea
$27.49
/
Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, blackberry, incense
Feels Like: stargazing on an empty beach
The aroma of darkly seductive violet flowers fills the air. In the first sip purple flowers meet dark elderberry and ripe blackberry. This is a magical black, oolong, and smoked tea blend with rich floral and black berry notes. Berry flavors are deepened by slatey tannins. A faint smokiness lingers in the finish, reminiscent of far-off incense and candle smoke from the smoked lapsang souchong tea. A touch of milk softens the tannins and brightens the berry and floral flavors. An elegant tea for afternoon or with a special dessert. A tea for lovers of violet, dark berries, and incense.

My go-to tea. The perfect blend for Earl Grey drinkers who like adventure!
This tea. I dream of it. The slightly floral note only enhances the slightly fruity note while allowing you to still taste tea, which is why we are all here. I prefer it with a touch of sugar to bring out the different flavors, and it is lovely iced. I personally wouldn’t add milk, as anything that detracts from this blend would disappoint. This is simply, my favorite tea.

Fragrant tea with robust flavor
I like this tea a lot, although I was hoping for a bit more floral/berry flavor. It is an interesting combination of tastes and holds up well to a 2nd infusion.

Makes you feel like a wizard
Weirdest way to describe the flavor, but, yeah: I love this tea! It’s magical and evocative and complex without being sweet or overpowering. A thinking person’s tea. I write fantasy fiction & having a cup of this keeps me motivated to work on my projects!
I also like to mix it with a bit of August’s Metropolitan tea for the Ultimate Flavor Combo.
