Preston's Bourbon Barrel Loose Leaf Tea
Very smoky, sort of woody. Recommend to anyone who has ever wanted to put a campfire in their mouth, or had applewood smoked meat and thought it could do with less meat and more smoke. You could probably get away with oversteeping this a little but I drink it too fast to be sure.
I tried cold brewing it and got a fascinating effect where the tea tasted like water and then had an extremely strong smoky aftertaste. Not really recommended, but something interesting to try if you have a bit to waste.
Preston's tea was a delightful experience. My partner took one whiff of it when I made it one morning and we both agreed that it smelled deeply nostalgic, my partner describing it as 'like my grandfather's garage', something that reminded me of my own grandfather's woodworking shop. The taste was smooth and sweet, with a hint of the darker breakfast experience giving it a more smokey vibe, but the scent? Like a trip back in time.
