From Winterwoods Tea Company

Sage and Juniper berries are blended with black Lapsang Souchong tea to create an intoxicating and alluring tea that has one of the most powerful flavors of all our blends. The semi-fermented mature tea leaves are laid out onto bamboo trays and are smoked over a smoldering bundle of spruce wood. The result is a rich and robust tea with an imparted smoke flavor and rich crimson color. This blend evokes memories of evenings spent relaxing around a campfire and enjoying the company of good friends.

Ingredients: Organic Lapsang Souchong, organic sage, organic juniper berries.

Sipdown! (14 | 63)

This one was nice. Quite strong on the smoke, for sure, but it’s a nice, meaty smoke, as opposed to an ashy charcoal one. The sage accentuates those savory notes as well, and adds an earthy herbaceousness. I will say I don’t actually get a lot of juniper here, which isn’t surprising since the other notes are so powerful. It’s also a bit difficult to extricate the sage and juniper from each other, but there is a sort of resinous note going on, regardless of where it’s coming from.

It’s nice, but I think a bit of a deep berry note would be nice, just to round things out. Probably not one I would reorder, since I don’t often crave strong smoky teas.

This tea is everything I would want from a tea of its’ name. It’s got that delicious lapsang taste, not flavored but actually smoked, and the juniper berries add an earthiness and a ruggedness to the flavor that I just adore! I have ordered this twice and am about to run out, so I will need to get more when I do a WWTC restock.

Flavors: Pine, Smoke
