I had a panic recently when I discovered that no “smoked wuyi” was listed anywhere on Verdant’s website anymore. Thankfully, that’s just because they shortened the name and no longer explicitly refer to it as “smoked wuyi” black tea.

I spent a week in New England at the end of September and now having returned to Houston I am deeply anxious for cooler Autumn weather down here, having gotten a wonderful taste of it up there. In an effort to put myself “in the mood” I am enjoying once again this cozy, warm brew.

It is a lot of fun to get meaningful hui gan from a tea like this.

I share a yixing between this tea and Upton’s “black dragon” so your milage may vary considerably.
