    Real talk

    Most tea fragrances sweeten the bergamot, amp the cream. This one stays grassy, herbal, almost medicinal in the best way. It's the scent of someone who orders black tea without apology.Earl Grey Tea
    Smoky tea done right. Lapsang pine-smoke with warm woods and black pepper's spark settling close to skin. For those who want the campfire memory without the room-filling performance anxiety.Lapsang Souchong Tea
