I love August Uncommon. They seem to be pretty divisive, but I’ve really connected with a lot of their blends. Golden Arrow is one of my absolute favorites, and I decided to restock during the Black Friday sale.

I was excited to add a pouch of this to my order as well. So confident that I was going to love this, I went straight for the 50g pouch rather than getting a sample. I wish I got a sample bag instead.

This tea just does not deliver on the promised notes. I wanted smokey vanilla custard. I just got smokey. Not getting any vanilla whatsoever. Golden Arrow is actually closer to the description of this tea. I’ll need to try out some different steeping parameters.

What a shame! I hope you find the workaround to this tea.

What a letdown! I’d been eyeing that one.

Definitely a bummer, but maybe different parameters will help. That’s the good part of having purchased too much, I guess.
