This has got to be one of my favorite varieties of tea. The intense, but smooth, aromas and flavors are not everyone’s cup of tea — you either love it or you hate it. I love it. The aroma carries beautifully, you need not stick your nose in the tin – but gently waft towards the face. I love cupping this tea for people, seeing there eyes light up at first sip! This tea reminds me of smoked salmon, whiskey and campfire. I find that if brewed just right you can skip the bitterness (not that you always want to) and have the flavours gently wane away with only a ghost of the original haunting your nasal cavities.
