Good morning! It’s been a while since I’ve had this one, but today it sounded like the perfect thing to chase the chills and the grumps away. If this doesn’t work I may very well climb back into bed and drag the covers over my head!

This tea is smokey and sweet. It’s a great blend of Lapsang Souchong, Keemun, and Darjeeling. Because it has Darjeeling I used a slightly cooler water temperature and a shorter steep time. The result is a rich, medium bodied tea without astringency. I think this could be nice way to introduce someone to smokey teas. There’s a fair but of smoke, but it’s well tempered by the malt and sweet notes making for a very pleasant cup.
