Hearth & Home Drawing Room

Drawing Room is a Latakia-forward English mixture in the Hearth & Home Signature series. The fine ribbon cut is nearly all Cavendish-free leaf; opening the tin releases a woody, smoky, leathery aroma with a light spiciness. On the palate, the initial smoky tone is followed toward the middle of the bowl by a pepper-like bite and a brief floral touch; the remainder settles into a balanced, lightly sweet, even-burning English character. Its effect comes not from any single leaf dominating but from the balance of proportions.
