As I was adding this to the library, I laughed at the “slight hints of smoke” notation in the purveyor’s description—when I opened the tin, I actually reared my head back at the Charge of the Smoke Fumes. (I can only imagine the Attack of Oliver Pluff’s Lapsang Brigade.)
However, liberated from captivity and steeped with a light hand, the smoke dissipates and the caramel and oak notes do make their presence known. It’s downright appropriate for the cool and cloudy weather today, and has the potential, with some additives (maple syrup?) to be bracing and comforting when winter comes to Valley Forge.

Postscript: we have some bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. Perfect to beef up a second steep.
Wow, where does one find such maple syrup?
Lucky break at Tuesday Morning about a year ago. Since then, the quality and variety of their foodstuffs has rocketed downhill.
