Truly a unique experience
David R. (Submitted on 27th Dec 2010)
As the title suggests, this tea is unlike any other if you haven't tried it yet. I get swept away into a time long ago of ancient battles, cannon-shot and the latent smell of gun powder. This tea's history is in battle. The smoke curing was accidental. The Chinese used fire to speed up the process of drying the leaves in the Qing era to meet the demand of troups far from home battling in the Fugian Province (known for it's Chinese Pine trees). The by-product would make its mark on tea drinkers ever more. Smoked tea? Who would have ever thought... and if you like this, try Lagavulin, smokey, aged scotch whisky.....yummy!
