UGH SO GOOD

Englishperson, lifelong black + milk drinker. I pretty much only drink flavoured black teas as my 'dailies' now (Passage, Silencio, Low Country etc) & never thought I'd go back to a 'plain' black tea. HOW WRONG I WAS. Black Gold is so sophisticated whilst still having so much flavour, I have it with milk almost every afternoon. It's quite strong so I have to be careful not to brew it as long as I do something like Passage, it gets too bitter for me quite quickly. Stays robust & yummy with milk. If you love flavoured black teas OR if you love plain black teas I think Black Gold might have something for you!

August essentials Black Gold black tea. In a 15 tea bag container

I find that your black gold black tea is probably the best black tea I've ever tasted in my life and I've had a few containers of these already and it's really honey and milk friendly the way I like it but robust the flavors are exquisite.. this is the only black tea I drink now!

Essentials Black Gold Black Tea

Based upon several positive prior reviews, I purchased a bag of this tea. The prior reviews were not wrong-this is a delicious black tea, one of the very best I’ve tasted. I’ll definitely be buying it again.
