Black tea

This tea I have to add some oat milk so it's like an English breakfast for me.

Excellent decaf tea

I try to end my days with a cup of decaf tea and this is the best for me. Gives me the full flavor I prefer without the caffeine. Another great product from August Uncommon

Great taste

This tea has a great flavor profile. However, I drank several glasses the first day and I was awake until 3 AM. I will be more conservative and drinking it from now on, but I will definitely keep drinking it because it taste so good!

Very good decaf!

I liked it because it’s one of the strongest decaf teas I’ve had. Usually, they’re weak and insipid. This one is strong enough to make me forget I’m drinking decaf.

Love having a decaf I can drink later in the evening.

I love August Uncommon teas. I ordered a large bag of this right off without a sampler because I'm a tea-totaler and I will drink tea right up until I go to bed, (and sometimes while in bed, but obviously caffeine makes for a bad night.) I like this decaf. I took off one star because it's a little bland (I know, I know... what did I expect from an unflavored decaf!...lol) but it also seems to have quite a few tannins (even though I only steep it 3-5 minutes) and I'm just not crazy about the mouth feel it gives my tongue. However, over all I'm really enjoying it, and I hope they start to make some of their flavored black teas with this blend. I'd love to try this with a Passage, Dark Iris, Silencio or Painted Desert blend. I want to be able to drink those all evening! I'm hoping this is the beginning of a new line of decafs, with all those amazing blends we've come to know and love!
