A famous historical tea, this may have been one of the first black teas. History says it was first produced during war.

This was a favorite tea of Winston Churchill and is considered the tobacco of teas for its distinct tarry smoky flavor.
Be prepared to either love it or hate it. It has a strong smell that some find overwhelming.
