Tastes Like: black truffle, damp peat, grilled banana, percolator coffee
Feels Like: a majestic mountain lodge

This multi-faceted black tea combines layers of smoke, sweet grilled banana, and sharply fragrant black truffle. The aroma alone overtakes your senses, while the taste draws you deeper into its kaleidoscopic trance. Milk enhances the caramel banana sweetness. Add a touch of booze for a wild and wonderful hot toddy. Recommended for lovers of campfires, scotch and mezcal.

Surprising Favorite

Came here to try the Earl Grey and ordered 5 samples all of which I found delicious. This confection and 1 other drove me to order the 30 sample taster in addition to larger quantities of these new favorites.

I have also learned some new things about tea making (Importance of mineralized water) and 2nd steeps.

I love this place!

A good balance. A lot of “smoky” products taste of nothing else, but the banana comes through in this
