Smoky Orange
The smoke in Smoky Orange comes from fire rather than woodsmoke. Dark oolong is charcoal-roasted in the Fujian mountains and that roast gives the leaf its darkness, taste of toast, caramel, and a suggestion of cocoa without the pine-tar edge of a Lapsang. Orange peel sits on top of it, bright and slightly bitter, cutting through the roast the way citrus cuts through a rich dish. The cup brews amber and rounded. Roast and mineral come first, then the orange arrives in the middle and carries through a finish that turns quietly sweet, closer to brown sugar than to fruit. Yellow petals add colour to the dry leaf. Brew it hot and full-strength as this is a roasted tea and it wants near-boiling water. It also cold brews well, where the orange comes forward and the roast settles into the background. It stands up to a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick over ice. This blend was previously sold as Citrus Punch.
