An ancient and much loved tea from China. Large leaves are dried over smoky pine fires. As you might imagine, the tea develops a distinctive smoky flavor. Give it a try when you want a change of pace.
Nothing better than a great classic tea. The smokey flavors and aroma are even better than any espresso bean roast! :-P

I don’t often reach to the back of my cupboard for this tea, but when I want a smoky rich cuppa, there is no other to compare. Today is just the right day — the first day of autumn, a damp day spent indoors, sorting the summer things out of the house and preparing for cooler days ahead.
Although it is not my every-day tea, I couldn’t think of ejecting it from my tea collection. As others have mentioned, it does offer a salty or broth-like brew. For those of you who cook with tea, it actually stands up pretty well and provides an interesting flavor when added into a soup broth.
Be very careful how long you steep – can become bitter and harsh
Oh how I love this tea especially on a cold day. It can stand by itself just a sweetener or even better with a savory dish
I love this stuff to bits. It’s sort of counter-intuitive, but that is the way things are on occasion.
Like water that was used to put out a campfire – and not the good kind.
I don’t like smokey, but I got corralled into trying this.
I like smoky, but this is WAY too smoky. It’s like drinking liquid mesquite.
