Beards Hollow loose leaf tea is crafted with Lapsang Souchong Tea to create an intoxicating and alluring tea that has one of the most powerful flavors of all our blends. The semi-fermented mature tea leaves are laid out onto bamboo trays and are smoked over a smoldering bundle of spruce wood. The result is a rich and robust tea with an imparted smoke flavor and rich crimson color. Added is a hint of the woodland uplands of the coast with wild forged Western Hemlock needles and organic juniper berries.
Ingredients:
Organic Lapsang Souchong Tea
Organic Blackberry Leaf
Cedar Leaf
Organic Juniper Berries
Pure Extracts

Sipdown (604)!
I have made a mistake.
It’s almost midnight, and I decided that I wanted to squeak in one last cup of tea before bed. This is a sample from VariaTEA – just enough for one cup. It was in my sample box of herbal teas, and I figured it was perfect because I could finish it off in one go. However, when I measured it out I could have sworn I saw tea leaf in the blend and drinking it now there is very clearly black tea in it.
Fuck – that is not going to be helpful in terms of caffeine before bed.
Anyway; this is quite obviously a Lapsang Souchong blend. It tastes very smoky. I’m not sure what else it’s blended with though? I mean, apart from smoke notes I don’t actually taste a whole lot else in the cup. Maybe a tiny hint of lemon or some other sort of citrus? I’m not entirely sure. But apart from the caffeine before bed fiasco, I am enjoying this tea!
Sample from VariaTEA- i think they missed the mark here. While it had the potential to be something like another tea i love, the lapsang in this one is too strong. Not that it’s a strong lapsang, but it’s strong enough to overpower the other flavours. None of the fruit taste comes through. It’s just kinda of boring. Does make me curious about some of their other teas though since i was snooping the website. heh
