Black Metallic · Violet Elderberry Black Tea | August Uncommon Tea

🍵 Flavor Profile:

Tastes Like: Candied violet, elderberry jam, ripe blackberry, soft incense.
Feels Like: Stargazing on an empty beach.

Black Metallic is a mysterious, floral-forward black blend that balances deep berry richness with a hint of smoke. A Yunnan black base carries bold dark-fruit notes while Formosa oolong adds a rounded, floral lift. Smoked lapsang brings a faint, distant incense that accents the berries rather than overwhelming them.

The cup moves from velvet floral to brambly berry, finishing on airy smoke and slate-like tannins. A splash of milk softens the edges and brightens violet and rose notes — elegant enough for afternoon tea, yet intriguing enough for a special dessert pairing.

A refined, slightly enigmatic cup for lovers of floral and dark-fruited teas.
