ohhhh my smoky goodness! this was amazing.
Now, it may be that some of my tastebuds are dampened due to a case of allergies, but today, I simply do not care. It tasted like liquid campfire! errr minus the ash and twigs, and burning haha.
The tea itself is rather light, taking a seat way in the back of the bus, but I can atleast recognize that it’s there. The smoky part rides up front, permeating my senses and taking me to a far away forest where I once spent evenings roasting marshmallows (hmmmm, I wonder what that would taste like in this tea??) and telling stories.
I really should not be buying any more tea(for now), not for take-home anyhow… but darn this one is tempting me!!
No milk, no sugar…. this one stands on it’s own, and that in my books is more rare, and yes, prized-to me, than I like to admit
Oh and I love that there is absolutely no astringency or bitterness. It’s not quite sweet, but I could see how one would derive that conclusion, if they can get past the smoke.

There is a personal blend at Adagio called Toasted Marshmallow, it is by
KiTT, based in your comments , you would enjoy it I think.
ohhh I think I’ve heard about that one! it sounds yummy… but the shipping costs also sound prohibitive
yes, it is amazing to me how shipping costs vary with all these vendors.
I wait for specials, holiday sales, reduced shipping, and friends to split an order with and share the burden.
Same here, but I mostly shop local, or on vacation… there are a few vendors in my area that I frequent. Most of my tea finatic friends have remarkably different preferences than myself so splitting an order is awkward (100g or even 50g is far too much)
