Tastes Like: vanilla custard, shortbread cookie, burnt toast
Feels Like: morning in a grand hotel

Our version of English Breakfast has exquisite Assam and Ceylon black teas with smoky lapsang souchong and vanilla bean. The aroma of warm vanilla custard fills your nose from the first sip of this velvety tea. Next, there's a pleasantly tannic bite with a gentle smokiness of ever-so-slightly burnt toast. Finally, the vanilla flavor returns as an intense note of freshly scraped vanilla bean. This delicate smoky vanilla flavor lingers. It’s made to be enjoyed with milk, but if you appreciate smoke, we suggest drinking it black. This tea will make you get out of bed.
A tea for lovers of malty sweet teas.

very vanilla
I guess I've been spoiled by your complex flavors, and going back to something this simple feels unnerving lol but though I know this is vanilla, it feels a bit too strongly vanilla to me. It's ok at best, but good for those who like simpler things

I would say this one is decent, not great not bad. my only complaint would be it's a little bit light on the vanilla and a little bit rich on the smoke

A rich start to the day!
The flavor of smoky vanilla is rich and yet familiar! It pairs well with frothy milk. To complement this great beverage for breakfast I fruit and Greek yogurt with a little honey!

Full Bodied
The flavors of this particular tea warms you up on a day that can feel dreary. I see many complain about the smokiness of the tea. If you brew it full strength then yes it can be over powering. I didn't have any problem with this particular tea. The flavors and depth of this tea is amazing.

I have ordered from August Uncommon many times. The tea is always fresh, aromatic and packaged with incredible care. The teas from August far surpass all other premium teas that I've tried. I am hooked on 'Breakfast'.
