正山小種

That first whiff is pure oak smoke, like breathing in a bonfire on a damp evening. It brews up dark and bold, and the campfire aroma carries right through the sip without ever turning bitter.

The smoke level is perfect for when I want something bold after dinner—it’s like drinking a cozy bonfire, not an ashtray. Brewed it about three minutes and the oakiness came through smooth, not bitter.

That smoky oak aroma hits you the second the bag opens—it’s like a bonfire in a cup, exactly as described. I’ve been brewing it strong with a splash of milk and it’s become my rainy-day ritual.
