Hot Damn! This is a good cup of tea!

This was an amazing tea, albeit a little expensive. The flavor is 100% on point. The flavor reminds me of the room note of a good aromatic pipe tobacco.

The Best

This is an amazing tea. I force myself not to have it every day- both because of its specialness and the cost which, yes, is high. But so so good. Lovely blend of nuanced flavors and a buttery texture (wrong term but not sure how to describe the smoothness). The bourbon is subtle; everything is subtle, actually, which makes for a delicious blend of flavor and nose. Perfect any time and anywhere. I like to savor it outside on a breezy cool afternoon or inside with a book by the wood stove… but truly- anytime anywhere. Please never stop selling this one. It is easily my favorite tea.

Surprisingly Good!

Love both bourbon and tea so this got my curiosity. Surprisingly good but not excellent. You do smell and taste the vanilla and a hint of the coconut. Black tea is pronounce, however feel like its missing one more ingredients. Would I buy again, yes. Would I recommend to my athlete buddies that are getting into dapper tea, yes! If this is ongoing in Smith's arsenal, I would add it to my replenishing list. Definitely taste like a gentlemen's drink/tea! Probably add some hair to your chest.

Digits Bourbon barrel aged black tea

If you are a bourbon connoisseur and black tea lover this is a fascinating amalgam of these two distinct flavors. I drank it straight without milk or sugar. It’s bracing and a departure from my usual black teas. The concept was intriguing and piqued my interest. Would I buy it again, truthfully no. I don’t indulge in spirits. That said, for those who imbibe in bourbon this would be worthwhile sampling and I would recommend it. For myself I will not be purchasing it again.

Assam

Indian Black Tea

Assam tea is the biggest, brightest, richest and most astringent tea made. It is the backbone to breakfast style teas of nearly all brand and quality although it is also used in many blends for body and top notes. Assam is less floral and has more bread or biscuit-like flavor than other origins, and is often described as malty or coppery.

Assam Region

The Assam region is located in Northeast India, and borders Bhutan and Bangladesh. At near sea level, this region produces teas that are full flavored, rich, and chewy with distinct characteristics of caramel and malt. The best teas from this region are plucked and processed in June and July, a harvest also known as the 2nd Flush.

Cassia Bark

Sumatran Spice

Often called cinnamon, cassia is a spice with a significantly different flavor profile than true cinnamon. Grown in subtropical climates, its taste varies widely by origin, and quality is judged by the volatile oil content. In Kerinci in Sumatra, cassia bark is stripped and dried year round from a revolving crop of 10 – 12 year old trees that are continuously replanted. Cassia is sweet, hot and spicy and adds fragrance to our chai blend.

Sumatra

Sumatra is located amongst the Sundar Islands in western Indonesia and is the country's second largest island after Borneo. Marco Polo was said to have visited in 1292. The cinnamon trees need to be more than ten years old before their bark is suitable for harvest.

Coconut Flakes

Philippine fruit

Coconut flakes are made from the dried, edible fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), a tree of the palm family. Coconuts likely were first cultivated on islands in Southeast Asia and are one of the most important crops of the tropics. Coconut flesh is high in fat and can be dried or eaten fresh or processed into coconut milk or coconut oil. Dried coconut flakes provide a silky and decadent mouth feel when used as an ingredient in tea blends.

The Philippines

The Philippines is made up of 7,641 islands, making it one of the largest archipelagos in the world. Coconut is one of the most important crops in the Philippines with the country being the second largest coconut producer in the world, after Indonesia. Our coconut flakes are fair trade certified and contain no sweeteners or additives.

Keemun

Chinese Black Tea

Keemun tea is grown in the mountainous region of Eastern China called Anhui Province. There are many grades of Keemun, with Hao Ya being one of the best. Keemun Hao Ya has a very thin, wiry and tightly twisted leaf that is black with grey hues. This brings a unique, slightly smoky flavor and aroma that reminds us of camping on the Oregon coast. A great self drinking tea, tasty neat or with milk and sugar.

Qimen County

Qimen County is located in western Huang Shan Shi Prefecture in southern Anhui Province of China, and is famous for making one of the world's best black teas—Keemun. The county is still very rural compared to other parts of China, so it's the perfect place to slow down, kick up your feet and drink some fantastic tea. Harvest times are in the Spring and Summer.
