Gifted this tea to a mate who's into both teas and whiskies. He was blown away by the rich smokiness. It's a winner!

Try Gaiwan!

Tried brewing this in a Gaiwan and wow, the smoky aroma was amplified in such a fantastic way. It’s an experience every tea enthusiast should have!

A must try!

When I think tea I often think of floral, fruity and even pantry spice flavours. This is such an exception to that! It reminding me of smoked beef jerky. As far as tea goes this is an umami bomb!
If you're based in Hobart you should head into the store to talk to the team about the history of this tea over a brew

Perfectly Balanced Brew

The balance between smokiness and sweetness in this tea is just impeccable. It's neither overpowering nor too subtle; it's simply delightful!
