2009 Liu Bao Smoked Dark Tea

I LOVE this tea. The complexity of this tea is so fun to sip through. Vanilla, leather, pipe tobacco, caramel all blend so well together without it being overly smoky. I’m excited to cozy up with this one when the weather gets colder.

My new daily drinker. Just the right amount of smoke. Great value as well.

This is BY FAR the MOST INTERESTING tea I have ever tired. It's downright exciting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The flavor is out of control! It is intensely smokey in the best way possible. Only thing I can compare it to is like drinking an aged whiskey while your standing next to a bonfire or the meat smoker. (BTW, it's pairs excellent with any red meat) It's an experience of the senses. The actual tea flavor under the smoke is still there and provides a very nice balance. This tea feels like it's still alive and connected to nature. If you like spending time outdoors, I promise this tea is like a little gift to your inner spirit. The smell alone can remind you of a different time and place. If you've never had a smoked tea before, I highly recommend you try it!
