Tastes Like: buttered toast, brown bread, almond
Feels Like: morning in the library
Picture the dark wooden walls of a library lined with rows of books, like the iconic Long Room of Trinity College in Dublin. There is a seductive atmosphere that is both austere and comforting. The bready aroma of this tea is complemented by the unique nuttiness of caraway. This high grade black assam tea has a velvety mouthfeel and rich flavor. Hints of cocoa and sweet almond aromas enliven the mix, like the occasional contemporary novel whose glossy cover pops against the worn literary classics. A drop of milk tips the flavor towards a smooth creamy stout. Like sinking into a stately club chair to ponder the pages between your hands, this tea invites reflection. This makes a rich breakfast tea, and a great afternoon tea with shortbread or cherry scones.

- JRJenna R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoPerfect hot or cold!
Love this tea with a splash of oat milk on a chilly afternoon. In the summer, a drop of maple syrup when brewing makes this a tasty iced latte.
- KNKeith N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoMmmmm Ahhh right out of the pouch
The Library is delicious! It reminds me of Dirty Chai. You can smell the deliciousness as soon as you open the pouch. I'll be reordering this one.
- PTPatricia T.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars1 month agoNice malty taste
Was hoping for more complexity -- this is nice but simple.

- JRJennifer R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month ago2nd Runner-up
If I'm out of Passage, The Library is my second favorite. I enjoy it in the afternoon the best: all the cozy feels (especially if you're a book lover like me), a little afternoon pick-me-up without the jitters, smooth blend. It's also included in my subscription because I don't want to run out of this one, either!
- BHBridget H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoPerfect breakfast tea
I have two of August's teas in rotation in the morning for a start of the day bit of caffeine. The Library is perfect for a slight twist to a traditional breakfast tea. It's an enhanced brew that feels both familiar and comforting.
