This might be my new favorite smoked tea. The smell drew me in immediately. It tasted a bit savory at first. As I sipped on my cup, I enjoyed the sweetness and smokiness. I had been hooked on Russian Caravan and decided to try this one next. So glad I did!

Literally amazing. I thought this was going to be a smoke-forward (like Russian Caravan/ lapsang souchong) but the smokeyness in the background. The sweetness is more of a mouth feel than actual sweetness- kind of like the way that licorice root tea is sweet without any sweetener. However, the sweet souchong doesn't have any of the distinctly licorice flavor. This tea is an experience and I highly recommend it to someone who is looking for something strong that re-steeps well, and is very unique.

The whole family loves it. We’ve also served it to many guests and everyone asks about it and wants to know where we got it.

This is such a unique tea! It's not overwhelmingly smokey but has a decidedly savory taste that is great in the afternoons. It holds up well to multiple steeps too. I can't wait to try using it for ochazuke!
