What Is Smoked Tea?
Smoked tea is tea that is exposed to real wood smoke during processing, creating added depth, aroma, and a smooth smoky finish. Unlike teas that use artificial smoke flavoring, true smoked tea develops its character through natural wood infusion.
Smoked Lady Grey is cold-smoked over hickory wood for 12 hours, allowing the smoke to infuse gradually into the leaves while preserving the bright citrus and floral notes of the tea. The result is a balanced smoked black tea that is bold, smooth, and layered.
Benefits of Smoked Black Tea
Smoked black tea offers the same foundational qualities as traditional black tea, with added depth from the smoking process. Black tea is naturally rich in antioxidants and is commonly enjoyed for supporting focus and steady energy throughout the day.
The smooth, smoky character of this blend creates a more grounding and satisfying drinking experience, making it a strong alternative to standard black tea or coffee.
Bergamot, used in Earl Grey blends, is traditionally appreciated for its bright aroma and uplifting citrus profile, adding both flavor and a refreshing quality to the tea.
