Uniquely great!
I was impressed by each flavor. The tobacco was what seemed to linger…not sure if I like that, but I keep drinking it decide!

Tastes Like: pine needles, cardamom skin, maple sap, fire logs
Feels Like: fireside after a winter walk
Get lost in billows of smoke and fireside conversation. This layered tea opens with the flavor of conifers and deep tannins. The astringency of cardamom pod cuts through the aroma of silky pipe tobacco and allspice. The flavor curls and shifts between burning wood, wet earth, and lingering maple.
This blend was inspired by childhood winters in New Hampshire with my late father: the glorious scent of pine and maple in the January maple harvest season. My father was a great admirer of Thoreau whose Walden is perhaps the most famous celebration of New England wilderness. I found the name Civil Disobedience (after Thoreau's essay) suitably bold, iconoclastic and evocative of the New England scentscape. — Gina, cofounder

If you like Cardamon, this is great selection. I'm on my 3rd 70 cup bag.
Smoky, slightly spicy (kinda like chai) with a finish of pine (almost menthol like). Reminds me of crisp autumn air by the fire and transported me back to memories of my dad’s Salem cigarettes he used to smoke, but with this tea I don’t have to breathe in second hand smoke. Lol. It’s a great cup of tea and I am very eager to try the recipes on the website as well.
When I opened it, I was not as happy as I have been with the other teas I have purchased from you as the scent was not very appealing. I made a cup of the tea and liked it even less. I will not be making another cup of this tea.
Thank you for your honest review, Steffi. We're sorry you didn’t enjoy Civil Disobedience. Our Customer Support Team would be happy to recommend a tea you might enjoy. Email hello@august.la for assistance.
This is a tea for those days when the world is throwing more practice at you than you think you.
Brace for the morning
In the pine smoke
Of the mountains. Prepare
For the summit with
This.
