He sits there, in the back of the dimly lit pub, hooded and shrouded with dark allure. You can smell him with your eyes from across the room — a mystic memory of woodsmoke and mystery. We all know the man…or at least we think we do…
The Ranger is of course inspired by Strider from Lord of the Rings. This tea has been on my mind for years, and I only recently had the breakthrough moment.
