August Uncommon's Mood Indigo is a sophisticated black tea blend that transports you to a 1920s speakeasy with every sip. Smoky Taiwanese black tea forms the foundation, layered with burnt orange, vanilla, and allspice, then finished with blackberry and bittersweet amaro notes that linger on the palate.
This blend captures mystery and elegance in a cup. The initial aroma hints at candlelit intimacy—smoky and inviting. As you taste, rich orange sweetness emerges, balanced by savory herbs and a touch of licorice. The finish brings forward blackberry complexity with a whisper of Italian amaro and rye spice. Add milk for a refined iced tea: the smokiness softens while bright citrus takes center stage, creating a creamy, sophisticated experience perfect for afternoon or evening.
