The flavor of indulgence characterizes this tea that embodies the persona of the arrogant count that once had it all and was reduced to a shadow of the man he once was. Hints of lapsang souchong work with the smoky body of gunpowder to create a feel of Andrei's taste for finer tobaccos and cigars, while dewy cherry incorporates the blood red dissolve of his noble past at the hands of his vengeful lover, spinning a sweetness into the taste of smoke to depict his love of the spoils that life as the wealthy Count Grigorescu of Romania offered to him at his beck and call. The perfect blend of past, present, and future that awaited him after resurrection by the hands of his mistress.
Count Andrei Grigorescu was one of the wealthiest and well-known men in Romania during the nineteenth century, both for his family name and his reputation among the women he had bedded before and after marriage. When the time came for him to marry, he was determined to make the most coveted woman in the land his, Athenodora Lupesc, though he was not about to cease his habits of gluttonous pleasure with various women for the sake of his wife. Continuing his affair with the women he kept at bay in the shadows of his life, his wife soon found out of his deeds and, ridden with despair, ended her life to then rise anew as upir and take him as her first victim. Years later, he was resurrected from the dead by one of his mistresses, a skilled necromancer dealing with the dark arts. Hellbent on regaining some semblance of his past life of luxury and unconsciously beginning to seek some form of redemption, the confluence of bloody cherry and smoky flavors make for a perfect brew highlighting his love for debauchery.
