From August Uncommon Tea
*Strong black tea with bourbon and burnt sugar notes*
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.

This one just doesn't work for me.
To be fair, I don't always love lapsang in blends. And that's the case with this one. I can imagine smoke and caramel working well together, but it just doesn't happen for me here. And I…

84I find this one to be pretty similar to *Golden Arrow* from the same company, except it's less smokey caramel and more sweet spirits. Unlike GA, It has a thinner but flavourful mouthful that takes me right to the downtown distillery! Vanill…

—Hats off to August Uncommon for really capturing the essence of bourbon in a tea. It was also smart to pair it with a smoky base since for me, personally, bourbon is quite smoky in itself. Anyone who knows me on here knows that I am most de…

I had a cup of this a few days ago and wasn't quite sure what I thought about it. It was nice and really caramel - but wasn't getting the burnt bourbon notes that are mentioned.
Not sure what I d…

86God i love this tea. It smells like caramel and smoke and bourbon and amazing ness. I forgot to add a little maple to this cup as i really think that would make it extra delicious. That being said, i don't NEED it in this tea to enjoy it.…

—After taking the first sip, I realize this tea will wreck even the most fortified of stomachs. So, milk.

86 last of the new teas that i tried this weekend...i think. this one has smokey notes to it but in the way that really works with the tea. It's not in your face smoke,rather it's like the smoke you sometimes get in bourbon. Over all, aft…
