The dry leaves smell very smoky and like fresh baked good coming out of the oven.
The liquid does not taste very smoky to me but it does taste like an urban street. I can notice motor oil, bakery scents, petrichor, and what a busy road might smell like. Very, very interesting tea and I was quite impressed at the complexity.

Wow! That does sound like a really interesting tea! Most franchise based blends seem to me to be very much based on personal tastes and personal concepts of characters, but this one really sounds like it would suit Holmes.
If it has all those taste in it, I want some!
Yeah I was quite surprised. Some of the Murchie’s black teas I’ve tasted are overly tannic, slightly bitter, and get astringent if steeped more than 3 minutes. This green tea, however, is fantastic and I highly recommend it. It tastes like a paved road or an industrial area. I don’t love smoky teas but this was more of a motor oil or asphalt taste rather than the usual smoke.
