August Breakfast - Smoky Vanilla Black Tea

Start your morning right with August Uncommon's August Breakfast—a sophisticated black tea blend that combines the robust character of Assam and Ceylon with smoky lapsang souchong and real vanilla bean. From the first steep, warm vanilla custard aromas draw you in, followed by a pleasant tannic bite and a hint of burnt toast smokiness that evolves into creamy, intense vanilla on the finish.

This blend shines with a splash of milk, though those who love bold, smoky character will appreciate it straight. The malty-sweet profile pairs beautifully with morning pastries and is designed to energize even the sleepiest mornings.
