Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s North Pole

North Pole is Ken Byron Ventures' reworking of Sutliff's limited-release holiday aromatic, North Pole Peppermint Mocha. The maker states they added Virginia leaf to the blend and pulled the mint intensity back a notch with marshmallow, and that there's no major difference between the two versions; it also notes the product has no characterizing flavor of its own and that the described tastes refer to the product's aroma. It's offered as 2 oz. bulk. Mint and a cocoa-coffee pairing stand out in the aroma; the added Virginia gives the blend a dry sweetness and a bit more body.
