I stopped by Simpson and Vail earlier this month on my way through Connecticut and managed to not go TOO overboard with my purchases. I did get a bunch of teas, a few author teas and the NP sampler box. This tea looks good on paper, but there is something a bit too sharp in this blend for my liking. Smoky mountains are supposed to be foggy and soft; they missed the mark in this blend. It makes me want to pare my best Lapsang with some blackberry jam toast to try and recreate the blend.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one saying they went for strength but it lacks some softness

Oh cool, a visit to S&V’s actual shop! Fun. Also, I have not forgotten I still owe you a tea package. I will be working on that in the next month or so!

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
