Today I prepared the last of this one. I made it last two years. I’ve changed my mind, this is my favorite from Zenjala. I am moving White Monkey into that second spot. This has a wonderful smoky aroma but it is not super intense. This is a milder version of lapsong souchong. There is also a hint of malt in the dry leaf. Brewed this is kind of sweet. It’s very easy to drink with no bite or astringency that I am catching. The smoke is more in the smell. You can feel the tea gently along the sides of your tongue. There is a fruity woodsy presence. This was one of my early ventures into loose leaf and it still stands the test of time. One day I will have more of this.

I need to try this one! Yesterday I had the Bohea from Harney and Sons, and while it was nice it was missing the smokey note.
Read the reviews for this one and the one from Teas Etc. Pretty sure they are the same tea.
I’ll check out Teas Ect. Thanks!
Oooo, I love Bohea! I have the Pluff Tea one right now.
Pluff Tea? Is that from the Bigelow plantation in Charleston?
