Hi Louise, thank you for reaching out! For a slightly smoky tasting tea we recommend checking out “Fire Roasted Yaupon” by Yaupon Brothers or a smoked Lapsang Souchong Black Tea such as “Outlaw” by August Uncommon in our tea shop.
Do you have a ‘slightly Smokey’ tasting tea? I have been looking for this flavor since 1993.
