August Uncommon's Jet Black is a roasty black tea for anyone who wants coffee-shop depth in a tea bag. Malty Indian Assam black tea is layered with Brazilian roasted mate, malted barley, coffee beans and ground coffee, then finished with natural coffee and hazelnut flavors. The result is a bold, creamy, espresso-leaning cup that sits right between a morning tea and a coffee.
Why You'll Love This August Uncommon Blend
- Coffee character, tea ritual: Real coffee beans and ground coffee give this black tea a deep, roasted profile, while the Assam base keeps it firmly in tea territory.
- Layered, roasty flavor: Roasted mate and malted barley add toasty, malty depth. Hazelnut flavor rounds out the finish.
- Built for a strong cup: Black tea, yerba mate and coffee all bring caffeine, so this blend suits early starts and busy afternoons.
- Easy tea bag format: Each bag is pre-portioned, so there's nothing to measure and cleanup is simple at home, at the office or on the go.
- A good pick for coffee drinkers: It makes a thoughtful gift for friends who love coffee and are curious about tea, or for tea lovers who miss a roasty mug.
- Works with or without milk: The bold roast holds up well to a splash of milk for a creamier, latte-style cup, and it is just as satisfying black.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does August Uncommon Jet Black tea have caffeine?
Yes, and quite a lot. The caffeine in this black tea comes from three sources: Assam black tea, yerba mate and coffee. Its caffeine level is high, so it is best suited to mornings or early afternoons rather than a late-evening cup.
What does August Uncommon Jet Black tea taste like?
It is bold and roasty, with coffee notes up front. Malted barley and roasted mate add a toasty, malty body, and the natural hazelnut flavor gives a nutty, rounded finish. Add milk if you want a creamier cup.
Is August Uncommon Jet Black tea gluten-free?
No. This blend contains malted barley, which is a source of gluten. It is not suitable for anyone avoiding gluten.
