When I opened up this cake, I was struck by the color of the leaves. They’re such a rich, blackberry-black color. I also got hit by a whiff of smoke! This tea is one of the smokiest I’ve had, almost BBQ-esque…in a good way? It’s got a bit of a sweet note too, and it’s not bitter. Not sure whether it’s really up my alley, but it’s definitely good for a change of pace!
