This is a strong tea with distinctive notes of wood and smoke.
Amelie –
It reminds me of freshly chopped wood. Do you know the smell of getting the open fire ready in winter? Strong earthy taste, so maybe not one for novices, but if you like this style, it won’t disappoint.
Ryan W –
I found this tea to be fairly strong on the ‘funk’, although the earthy and woody flavors were pleasant. Perhaps not my personal favorite, but a distinctive and interesting tea all the same.
Natasha –
I have been drinking this tea for a few weeks now after meal times and have grown to really like its slightly woody aftertaste.
