Sips by August Uncommon
Why you’ll love this tea
The aroma of darkly seductive violet flowers fills the air. In the first sip purple flowers meet dark elderberry and ripe blackberry. This is a magical black, oolong, and smoked tea blend with rich floral and black berry notes. Berry flavors are deepened by slatey tannins. A faint smokiness lingers in the finish, reminiscent of far-off incense and candle smoke from the smoked lapsang souchong tea. A touch of milk softens the tannins and brightens the berry and floral flavors. An elegant tea for afternoon or with a special dessert. A tea for lovers of violet, dark berries, and incense.

We goblins are here merely to ply our wares, the succulent leaf potions we conjure up in our forest. Come taste, come taste. Inspired by the poem Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti.
