Description:  A classic black tea from Fujian Province China that is scented with smoke. To craft this tea, black tea leaves are dried over a pinewood fire. The smoke of the fire infuses the leaf with a robust smoky scent. The result is a bold tea that is rich and very smoky with warm woodsy notes. This multi-dimensional tea has a crisp and edgy finish that is clean with sweet pine notes. 

Ingredients: organic black tea scented with smoke

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-4 minutes

Sophia ★★★★★

I was worried it'd taste like an ashtray, but the smoke is mellow and sits right alongside a woodsy sweetness. Brewed it strong with a splash of milk and it held up fine.

Natalie ★★★★★

That deep pinewood smokiness is exactly what I wanted for my afternoon cup—it comes through bold and woodsy without any bitterness, even after a longer steep. I've already reordered, this is the real deal.

Emma ★★★★★

The smoky aroma fills the whole kitchen the second the hot water hits the leaves, and the woodsy depth carries through every sip. This is my go-to for cold afternoons when I want something bold and comforting.
