This is a sample that Paul sent me. I was drinking it for two days, so it has legs and can go the distance. The dry leaf smells of a light, sweet tobacco. It was loose and easily pulled apart into whole leaves even by hand.
The soup is a strong amber colour and smells slightly smoky. The tea has a solid smoky hit to start with before mellowing to a mix of smoke and astringency that is really pleasant, rounded out by a hint of sweetness that brings the whole experience together. I could see buying a beeng or two of this.
Flavors: Astringent, Smoke, Tobacco
I received a sample of this one, I haven’t tried it yet, but based on your description I should get to it!
I think you will like it based on what I know of your preferences. :)
