The Kindling Club

For those who understand that smoke is its own kind of alchemy — its own quiet ritual.

Welcome to the collection where tea meets fire and emerges transformed.

These smoky loose-leaf teas — lapsang souchong, Russian Caravan, and their distinguished, mysterious cousins — all carry the memory of flame. Some whisper with subtle char, others arrive in full campfire presence. Each one tastes like late-night conversations that matter, like the moment when embers glow their deepest red, like autumn nights when the veil feels just a touch thinner.

This is tea for contemplation — for readers, thinkers, night wanderers, and those who know that the best rituals involve fire, patience, and a companion worth savoring. Tea as meditation, as craft, as the quiet tending of fire and water until they become something more. For anyone who understands the patience required for proper smoke, the discipline of a perfect steep, and the alchemy that happens when you truly pay attention.

The fire is built with intention.

The door to the study is open.

Your chair is waiting.

Welcome to the club.
