Tastes Like: burnt sugar, buckwheat, chicory, bourbon Feels Like: the forward familiarity of the south
This tea has the ostentatious warmth of a Southern drawl. It's got robust body and character to match. In the first sip, the chewiness of burnt sugar mingles with the dark, rich flavor of buttery buckwheat hotcakes and finally, a latent chicory note. A drop of milk adds a whisper of bourbon. This is a fantastic morning tea to rival an English breakfast. Its potent charm ambles all the livelong day. Recommended for coffee lovers and whisky drinkers.
Smoky notes hit later, I enjoy black, with a little honey (RARE for me), and/or with a little half & half. I hardly ever like tea all these ways but it's so good.
I'm an Earl Grey girl, and normally I drink the Metropolitan. On a whim I tried Low Country and fell in love with it. It feels so warm and comfy, especially on chilly days. It's not overpowering, the flavor tastes and smells delightful.
