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.

New tea for me

Tried this tea for the first time, just after I recieved it. A little different, but interesting. Made only a cup, next time will make a full pot, and enjoy all day.
