Description

Smoky black tea with cardamom and tobacco notes

Lost in billows of smoke and fireside conversation. This dense, layered tea opens with conifers and deep tannins. The astringency of cardamom pod cuts through silky pipe tobacco and allspice. The flavor curls between burning wood, wet earth and lingering maple.

INGREDIENTS: indian black tea, taiwanese lapsang souchong black tea, cardamom pod, cardamom oil, sweet blackberry leaves, natural flavoring

TASTES LIKE: pine needles, cardamom skin, maple sap, fire logs, sweet tobacco
