Black Metallic - Violet Elderberry Black Tea (15 Tea Bags)

Done! You will be notified when this item is back in stock.

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.

🍂Why Our Tea Bags Are Better

More Flavor In Every Cup
The average tea bag has only 2 grams of tea per bag. Ours have 3.5 grams of tea. That's 60% more tea in every bag. More tea = more flavor.

The Best Ingredients
Our tea uses super premium whole ingredients including whole leaf tea, dried fruit and herbs, and whole spices. Our tea comes from traditional tea estates in the best growing regions on earth. It’s quality you can see, smell, and taste.

100% Plastic-free Tea Bags
Our tea bags are made of plant-based, non-gmo neosoilon mesh, so you don't have to worry about microplastics, bleach, or other harmful substances in your tea.

🍃 Dietary Needs
  • Vegan
  • Sugar Free

✨ Quality Tested

All our teas are double tested for pesticide residues, heavy metals, and foreign objects.

Because they’re blended in Germany, all August teas must pass stringent EU pesticide standards, which allow much less pesticide residue than the US FDA.

Whether they are organic, all natural or conventional, all our teas are safe, top quality, and delicious!

Top 3 Favorite Tea

This tea is absolutely amazing—easily in my top 3 of all time. The floral notes are just beautiful, and it's so well balanced with a soft sweetness from the elderberry. It feels elegant without trying too hard.

If I absolutely must nit‑pick, my only gripe is that this is truly a one‑and‑done brew; the magic fades on a second steep. But that one cup? Pure bliss.

In short: breathtaking aroma, impeccable balance, unforgettable flavor—an absolute must‑try for any serious tea lover.
