Tastes Like: cardamom, maple sap, campfire
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.
Ingredients
indian black tea, taiwanese lapsang souchong black tea, cardamom pod, cardamom oil, sweet blackberry leaves, natural flavor of cardamom

I love breathing in the spicy notes as I sip Civil Disobedience. It is a wonderful brew with milk and sugar, a lovely way to start the day.
Not thrilled with Civil Disobedience seemed very weak and not smokey at all.
Thank you for your honest review, MARY A. We're sorry you didn't love Civil Disobedience. Our Customer Support team will contact you shortly.
I have had a subscription for Civil Disobedience for more than five years. When I needed a new morning drink after I had to quit coffee, I sampled my way through nearly every one of the August Uncommon black teas and found four I liked enough to have a subscription to, and rotate through them for my morning wake-up. I love cardamom, and this tea definitely had the goods. The smokiness was a nice balance with the strong cardamom taste.
But now it's going away and I am angry. This was not only a part of my morning routine, but something I shared with my mom, before dementia took her away. So it has strong emotional connection as well. I feel it was the wrong decision, August, and while I am currently keeping my other prescriptions, I can't help but be deeply disappointed and quite angry at you for this, and may decide ultimately that this is not the place for me any longer. We shall see.
Rich and flavorful, with just a touch of smoke. I can't believe you're discontinuing it.
Some teas are best enjoyed hot, others are best enjoyed cold. I prefer the Civil Disobedience hot, while I prefer the Low Country over ice, after brewing it. I'm not a smoker, but the aroma of the Civil Disobedience is pleasant match to the rich intense flavor. I ordered a 2nd 70-cup bag, after hearing it will be discontinued.
