I was sceptical when I first opened the bag, it is very smoky, somewhat reminiscent of cigarettes (after I got used to it the smell is really quite pleasant and nuanced). But the taste is wonderful, earthy and Smoky a hint of chocolate in the aftertaste. Less woody smoke than lapsang souchong i don't know how to describe it. The bags are very convenient when I want something hot in the evening with minimal cleanup. For this price it is worth trying at least once, and if you give it a chance despite the initial smell, you will have a wonderful everyday tea.
