• • What tea gives peachy Texas Barbecue Ice its smoky taste?  A light smoked Lapsang Souchong, which is called Russian Caravan. 
  • Texas Barbecue Ice is a nice balance of juicy peach notes with a bit of smoke. 
  • Smoked teas like this one are created by the choice of heating element during their processing: burning firewood
  • Icing this tea lessens its smoky flavor and allows it to pair beautifully with any fare that has a note of smoke
• • According to tea lore, this tea resulted from the accidental proximity of a tea factory and a forest fire. The nearby pine forest had caught fire, and waves of smoke found their way through the factory's doors and windows, and to the processed piles of black tea
  • Processed tea has 97% of its moisture removed and readily absorbs nearby aromas
  • Tea from the Wuyi Mountain area of China is often heated with pine wood and absorbs a bit of the smoke in the process
