Okay, so my tin is many-many years old (maybe 8?), so that may be the reason that I’m dropping my rating. It’s nice, and makes a decent iced tea, believe-it-or-not. But it no longer rates a teagasm in my book. What ultimately tips the scale is that I recall this tea being quite expensive, and it’s not worth the price. If you want to have a wonderful smoky tea, then try Upton Tea Import’s Black Dragon, or Oliver Pluff & Co’s Colonial Bohea. NE

Saving these to my wishlist. I love smoky teas!
Oh my gosh, Shae – you will LOVE the Upton Black Dragon. It’s not overly smoky, but I’ve had coworkers who are like “wait, are you eating bacon?” when I’ve steeped it there. Heh.
That sounds amazing!
I second Black Dragon, and also Lapsang Crocodile from Dammann Freres or the same name from The O Dor are AWESOME. I also really like Russian Caravan from Grace Tea Company. It is a shelf staple.
