“The delicate smokey flavour reminds me of a beautiful peaty malt whisky like Laphroaig and it's hint of honey is like sticking your face into a freshly opened pouch of rolling tobacco. A real pleasure and a less expensive habit!”

“Very pleasant tea, it has a fresh taste with a slight bitter, smoky edge. To echo previous reviewers, you'll definitely want to be careful with the brewing time.”

“This is wonderfully fragrant and a little goes a long way. Have to be careful not to let it infuse too long as it's pretty robust. It's much more complex than any 'commercial'' brands - I love it!”
