From Dr. Tea's Tea Garden

From the Fujian province of China comes this very distinctive tea with exotic flavor. Traditionally carried by camel across the Orient from China to Europe, this tea would be delivered witha signature smokey aroma from the fires that the caravans would use for warmth. Still popular today the leaves are smoked over pine needles and yield a distinctive aroma that goes especially well with savory dishes.

I have had this a few times this semester and it compliments the dreary weather here quite well.

The heavy smoke smell of this lingers in my dorm for hours afterwards. Which isn’t a bad smell or thing but it is probably a good thing that I do not have a roommate to complain about the “campfire”. I really enjoy how smokey and piney this tea is and it reminds me of the summer when we have campfires on the site of an abandoned Christmas tree farm. The smoke is rich, thick, and cloying with the drying pine peaking out every few sips.

Nothing like the smell and taste of a campfire on a cold day where the snow is falling thick and fast. Aaahhhhh. :-)
