A flavorful tea without the "flavor"

My favorite of the new essentials tea, this tea has rich caramel notes and robust body. Fans of August teas like Golden Arrow or Gold Rush should definitely try this one out!

Another winner in my normal morning rotation!

A dark, malty delight when you first open the bag and take a deep breath in. Very softly caramel-y, especially with a touch of honey. An excellent leisurely morning sipper. I will be drinking more of this one in the future!

A Nice Fall Tea.

Black Gold is a tea that you’ll want for those afternoon pick ups on chilly autumn days. It’s malty and full bodied, and has a nice smooth finish. If you prefer your tea with milk, it will handle that nicely. Definitely a tea meant for sipping while you watch the leaves fall.
