Tastes Like: candied violet, elderberry, 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 Pick Me Up at 2 PM

This tea 🍵 is a great afternoon pick me up especially during my work when I feel that 2 PM slough . There are no jitters after drinking it. However don’t drink this in the evening when you are trying to sleep 🛌, made the mistake of drinking it during the evening hours. The aroma of the tea is very fragrant and lovely. The taste 👅 of the tea is great. Not cloyingly sweet, but there is something about it that makes this a very addictive sip. This tea 🍵 will always be on my to buy list when I run out of it.

Delighful Cup

I LOVE Black Metallic. It has a strong black tea flavor, but a delicate floral and sweetness to it. The aroma is absolutely amazing dry, and when you brew the aroma becomes a lighter version of the dried tea. The brew is a beautiful dark amber color and with a touch of sugar this tea is a perfect cup to enjoy curled up with a book.

my new favorite tea

Black Metallic has quickly become my new favorite tea. I love the floral notes combined with the berry. It has a rich flavor that I can't get enough of. I had to buy the biggest bag they sell!!!

Just not for me...

I'm sure there are lots of people who absolutely love this flavor of tea. But it wasn't for me... I can't describe the taste except to say it was "oily." August Uncommon Tea company appears to use quality ingredients again this just wasn't for me.
