London Smoke & Fog Loose Leaf Tea — Poesie Perfume and Tea

I steeped a cup expecting a gimmick, but the smoke and vanilla layers are perfectly balanced — it genuinely tastes like a foggy London street. Even the dry leaves smell incredible before the water hits them. This is my new evening ritual.

The vanilla really softens the smoke, so it's more cozy than campfire—I've been brewing it every foggy morning since it arrived. The Earl Grey base gives it a solid backbone that holds up even with a splash of milk.

The smoky lapsang souchong is the star here—it lingers on the tongue long after the vanilla sweetness fades, exactly like a foggy London evening. I brewed a cup on a rainy afternoon and the whole kitchen smelled like a cozy Victorian parlor. Definitely my new go-to when I want something more interes
