A really complex tea that really speaks to its name. It has lots of really good smoky and bold flavour, with a bit of a campfire sort of smell and taste. It can get quite strong, so I don’t use very much at a time. it’s got a vague roasted nutty undertone, which was really interesting. Not a very accessible tea, unless you like really smokey teas
I’m currently a university student in English (where it’s apparently increasingly difficult to find a profession these days, but I will think about that as it becomes relevant), and aspiring novelist! I’ve been writing for about 6 years, in a variety of genres (fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, crime drama, and a variety of short-stories). My “baby” at the moment though is a high-fantasy tale, heavily inspired by Skyrim and Tolkien. I am also an artist and aspire to write a graphic novel one day; however, I seem far too unfocused and erratic to sit down long enough to do any of that. My preferred tea types are Oolong, matcha, black, white, mint herbals and sweet herbal tisanes/blends. I particularly like very floral and fresh tasting teas, but I’ll try anything at least once! I am interested in doing Tea Reviews, samples and exchanges! So message me! :)

I love Murchie’s and Smoky teas – looks like I’ll have to try this one! Thanks for the review info.
