This is a very strong tea. When pouring into the steeper, the water instantly changed to a dark brown, leading me to change my anticipated steeping time down from 5:00 to 4:30 because of the expected strong flavor. The first impression I got was that it was the most coffee-like tea I have come across. The smoky flavor as well as a good amount of body is what lead me to this conclusion. The description from the company notes orange peel and citrus flavoring, but I did not notice it. It may have been overpowered by the smoky flavor. This tea is a great change of pace, but stronger than I usually like my teas. It will definitely work its way into the rotation as “my strong tea”
