I did everything short of gargling with this tea and could not discern the slightest hint of smokiness at all. And then I gargled with it and still got nothing. A smooth, light and slightly sweet tea that is best drunk plain and unfortunately doesn’t taste like much at all. For that smokey taste you need to hit up the Extra Russian Caravan from this company.

LOL @ gargling!
The Russian Caravan I bought from Arbor Teas was very smoky. Just a small amt mixed in with my other black tea adds a nice hint of smokiness.
