The dry leaves have a bold aroma of wood smoke, reminiscent of a smokehouse or campfire.
The copper orange infusion has a bold and spicy aroma of wood smoke with peppery notes. The taste is smoky yet mild, reminding me of wood-smoked food, with a long and mildly smoky finish.
This tea reminded me distinctly of the lakeside campground I used to visit when we would fend off the morning chill around the campfire while smoke from neighboring camps drifted in. The bold aroma suggests an equally bold taste, so I was pleasantly surprised by how it mellowed within seconds on the tongue. I would definitely enjoy this paired with food like brie or cheddar cheese, as well as with breakfast.
