    Delicious

    Lovely smoky but subtle flavour, great for a mid-morning cuppa when I need caffeine but also a sense of calm.

    Very Smokey

    Got this in my subscription this month, the Smokey smell alone was off putting for me but I thought it might be ok once brewed.

    It’s very Smokey. It’s like drinking water after it’s been used to put out a fire. No thanks lol had a few sips just to make sure it was definitely disgusting then it went down the sink and the packet went in the bin 😂

    Definitely not my cup of tea, and I feel a very strange choice for the subscription given that it’s probably going to be very much love or hate type of tea.
