my favorite tea

Smoky and soulful. Good for 2 steeps! My favorite morning ritual lately is a hot cup of this tea before starting the day.

Thanks for your review. We blended this for those who enjoy a smoky tea but not one quite as strong as a straight Lapsang Souchong. The hint of Jasmine mellows it out and our Genghis Khan has a small but enthusiastic fan base.

A subtly delicious cup. The base is not too smokey, and the jasmine adds a gentle floral flavor. Wonderful for relaxing in the afternoon with a book.

Tea Education

According to Chinese legend, Genghis Khan made his soldiers drink tea to to make them more effective and courageous in battle. Our blend starts with a mildly smokey tea, topped off with some Jasmine flowers and sprinkled with white silver needles. The base tea has been smoked over pine or other woods. The best known smokey tea is, of course, Lapsang Souchong. Other teas are naturally smokey, such as Wu Yi Oolong.
