Great cup of tea, not smoky enough for me

Deserves love as it Fan tan Tyne tastic
"Sweet with a comforting flavour of peppercorn. My favourite tea currently. On a second tin."
Mr
"It tasted beautifully smokey, unlike the Lapsang Chai that I tried a while ago. I enjoyed it and will be buying some more when I have finished the package that I have"
"This has been our favourite of the tasters so far."
This is *the* tea!
"I've been searching high and low for a black tea that I love - I used to buy a different brand and I've tested a lot of Bird and Blend teas. I love them all but often don't want a ""funky"" tasting tea to go with my breakfast food or with a biscuit. Well. . . A friend brought me this to try and I'm into it! This tea is the perfect ""classic"" style tea. I have it with breakfast. With a biscuit in the afternoon and I take it with me on holiday. Amazing 😍"
