August Uncommon's Black Lodge is a smoky black tea that blends grilled banana, black truffle notes, and smoldering peat into one unforgettable cup. This complex blend combines Chinese Yunnan black tea with smoked varieties, dried banana, and layers of vanilla and almond for a taste that feels like gathering by a crackling mountain lodge fire.
The flavor evolves with how you brew it. Enjoy it straight for the full smoky character, or add a splash of milk to bring out the caramelized banana sweetness. Those who love bold, unconventional teas will appreciate the depth here—think campfire warmth, dark coffee notes, and a touch of luxurious earthiness in every sip.
