drank The Big Smoke by Bird & Blend Tea Co.
412 tasting notes

I like the smell coming from the zip-bag – solid but not overwhelming smokiness, spiciness from the red peppercorns, a bit of citrusy notes. Very inviting.
After steeping the aroma is more mellow, with less smoke, but it still has this spicy and citrusy touch.
And the taste? Distinctive pu-erh notes, a bit of smoke, slight sweetness, slight peppery spicyness well matched with the citrusy lemongrass. Plus some earthiness in the background.
Nice tea to drink on an autumn evening, but I certainly wouldn’t call it “The Big Smoke”. More like the moderate one. :)

Bio

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
