Tastes like the smoke and fire of Orodruin was packed into my cup! Smokey and rich, with a slight burn at the back of the throat (from smoke inhalation, no doubt), a dangerous sparkle that catches the light, and just as powerful on the second go-around as the first. This is a perfect blend that lives up to the name "One Tea to Rule Them All". I can see having a cup of this every morning to start my days off on the most dominating foot.
This has become my new favorite blend! Smokey and smooth with just a hint of spice, it's great for multiple steepings.
I'm not usually a fan of smoky teas, but I bought this as part of a fun gift for my partner. We tried it and both enjoyed it! It's a little more bitter than the teas we normally drink (maybe due to the coffee beans, or maybe he oversteeped it) but we added a little honey and it was perfect.
Flavor-wise, it's exactly like the review title insists, which is pretty perfect. The smokiness and chili really add to the Mordor vibes, and while prevalent are not overwhelming the flavors of the tea. the gold dust is for show but it makes your cup look super fancy.
We determined that while we wouldn't drink this every day, it really fits stormy day vibes where maybe you're stuck in a cave and pull a treasure out of seemingly nowhere.
