Wow. This is an amazing black tea. Here we go…
As soon as I opened this package, I was transported to a campfire in the woods on a cold night. (Yes, I’ve been known to camp on cold nights…brr!) The tea leaves give off a subtly smoky aroma, like the charred ashes of a dying fire.
Although I love that smell, I wasn’t sure if I’d like to taste it in a tea. Sure enough, I do! The smoky flavor of the tea is delightful. It really warmed me up inside, making it perfect for cold weather days. I thought the tea was a touch bitter, which is something I come to expect and enjoy in most black teas. It leaves a smoky aftertaste. I’ll be ordering this smooth, rich blend again.

Glad you liked it! You may want to try a 3-minute infusion – it’s worlds better :)
Ahhh cold-weather camping. :) That’s one of the memories I created this blend around. Glad that came across!

I’ll try a shorter infusion the next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
