    Real talk

    The tea note divides people. Some want more smoke, others less. But that's exactly the point, this isn't a crowd-pleaser, it's a conversation. Kensei rewards the curious.Kensei
    Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
