★★★★★

I really feel like I'm drinking a campfire! This tea is the best smoky flavor.

★★★★★

I love this tea! Definitely reminds me of a bonfire, with spicy, woody, undertones and a snappy, sweet finish. Probably not for everyone, but I for sure love it!

★★★★☆

Smokey, earthy, and spiced, I love this tea on late nights with friends in the summer and into the fall!

This tea has it all. It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and has a subtle smoky flavor. I definitely enjoyed it a lot.

Another smoky, experimental kind of flavor! Worth sampling!

★★★★★

LOVE this tea. It’s peaty, almost like a scotch and you can really get a sense of bonfire. Love it day or night.

This has been and still is a fav winter tea. Just enough spice that it warms my belly in the morning on a cold day.

★★☆☆☆

The flavor is overwhelming and has way too much going on. It s smokey, peppery, and sweet, none of which in a good way.

★★★★★

I didn't think it was too smokey but I love lapsang souchong. The apple and cinnamon round it out well.

★★★☆☆

A good fall flavor but a little too pepper taste for me

★★☆☆☆

The name and ingredients list seemed impressive, but all the flavors were muddled.

★★★★☆

Tastes like a bonfire! This warm, flavorful, tea is perfect for a cold fall night or a burst of afternoon energy

My favorite herbal tea of the season. I love that it has a sweet smokiness to it.

★★★☆☆

I enjoyed a cup of this tea. It was sweet and spicy and warmed us down to our toes. I like the cinnamon balanced by the hazelnut-iness that came out with some half and half.

The sweet/spice give this a nice balanced warmth that’s great on a cold evening.

★★★★☆

Exciting and complex taste, good for winter! Smoky!

★★★☆☆

If you love a smoky tasting tea, this is the one for you...but not for me. It has interesting layers of flavors.

★★★★☆

This was definitely an interesting blend; i m still not quite sure how i feel about it compared to other blends out there.

★★★☆☆

This is not one of my favorites, too peppery. I may have made it too strong though, I like my tea strong and maybe this one would taste better with less.

★★☆☆☆

This tea had to much of a smoke flavor for my liking. However, my son enjoys it.

★★★☆☆

Not awful, but tasted like a campfire. The smokey taste was not what I was looking for.

★★★★☆

Made a great gift! Recipient really enjoyed and smelled great.

★★★★★

Such a great tea. Bold but not overwhelming. Very complex. I feel like every time I have a cup, I notice a new flavor.

★☆☆☆☆

Not my 'cup of tea' at all. I'm not really sure what to liken the flavor to.

★★★★☆

I get how this may be an acquired taste for some, but I love the smokiness of lapsang, and the flavors go so well together. At the very least I’m getting a sample pack.

★☆☆☆☆

This actually got dumped out. Tasted like water that had gotten stirred with an ashy campfire log.

★★★★★

Great aroma combination that gives pleasant taste.

★★☆☆☆

disgusting... weird blend of like cooking spices w some kinda lapsang.
still nasty

★★★★★

Really nice! Love how this tea smells too. Faintly smokey, very smooth.

★☆☆☆☆

Very unusual smell and taste. Maybe I got a bad bag but I can't bring myself to make a second cup of this

★★★★★

I had this tea for the first time in fall 2019 and wasn t sure how I felt about it when I drank my first cup. Over time it grew on me, I purchased a 3oz bag this year and will likely purchase again before fall ends. This tea is very smoky but mellowed out by notes of citrus and sweetness.

★★★☆☆

Strong flavor, especially the cinnamon. Tastes like how a holiday candle smells.

★☆☆☆☆

Not a fan of this one. It was too smokey for me. I tried to add honeybush to change it up a little bit, but I ended up throwing it away.

★★★★★

It grew on me and now I love it. Great used for a second pot

★★★★★

Truly smells like a bonfire, in the best way possible. A little bit smoky, but not too much. I normally don't like smoky teas but this one is great! I definitely taste apple in here as well.

★★★★★

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TEA EVER. I also buy it in bulk in the fall, but it's gone before 6 months. I am so sad it's only offered in the cold months.

★★★★★

Very nice blend of spices. Drink it straight don't add anything to it

★★☆☆☆

just too peppery and smoky for my taste- I wouldn't order again

★☆☆☆☆

Did not care for this one at all...smelled like a bonfire which I didn't find pleasant and the taste was not good.

★★★★★

I love this tea, and I've bought it the past two years. It has a nice smoky flavor while still being light. Great drink in the evenings.

★★★★☆

I love a great spicy tea and lean towards the chais and such. This one has a distinct smoky flavor and may be a bit much for some. This is a great tea for sitting around a bonfire but maybe a bit much for first thing in the morning.

★★★★★

love love love will be my go to after-dinner tea this winter

Great for a cold winter night, loved the spicy hints.

★★★★★

The Bonfire tea came in the autumn sample set. I fell in love and purchased it in bulk. It’s now my favorite and I love having a cup in the afternoon between meetings.

★☆☆☆☆

This strange brew had such a terrible smell that I couldn't even stomach tasting it. Absolutely disgusting odor. The wretched smoke odor was overwhelming.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

The first time I tried this tea, I was overwhelmed by the smokey and orange flavors. The second time was much better, and I tasted more of the spicy sweetness while appreciating the smokey flavor. This is one of my favorite autumn teas and I will buy more.

WOW! Not like any tea I've had before. Very smoky, which I love, but may not be the tea for everyone. I like it blended with black tea, with milk and sugar

We refer to it as spicey dirt, but it s just not to my taste
