Tastes Like: pine needles, cardamom skin, maple sap, fire logs
Feels Like: fireside after a winter walk
Get lost in billows of smoke and fireside conversation. This layered tea opens with the flavor of conifers and deep tannins. The astringency of cardamom pod cuts through the aroma of silky pipe tobacco and allspice. The flavor curls and shifts between burning wood, wet earth, and lingering maple.
This blend was inspired by childhood winters in New Hampshire with my late father: the glorious scent of pine and maple in the January maple harvest season. My father was a great admirer of Thoreau whose Walden is perhaps the most famous celebration of New England wilderness. I found the name Civil Disobedience (after Thoreau's essay) suitably bold, iconoclastic and evocative of the New England scentscape. — Gina, cofounder

As Seen On
I think this is a unique take on a chai tea. At first, I wasn't sure about it. Maybe not smoky enough but with time I've concluded that actually the smoke level is perfect. A good tea to start your day, or any part of your day. Enjoy!
This is an unusual and earthy black tea blend, maybe not for everyone, but the smokiness and cardamom feels very comforting to me, like a campfire.
The smoky aromas and flavor are like camping in the woods with a campfire on cooler evenings. A sweet, smoky, vibrant combination full of flavor.
You can smell the smoke of this tea when you open it. I was expecting it to have a bitter taste. I do add sugar to my tea, but it was a sweet taste. I really liked this one.
I was impressed by each flavor. The tobacco was what seemed to linger…not sure if I like that, but I keep drinking it decide!
