Tasting Notes

Latakia is famed for its smoky, leathery, and woody flavour, created through an ancient process of fire-curing oriental leaf over aromatic woods and herbs. On its own, Pure Latakia delivers an intensely smoky, incense-like taste with hints of spice and earthiness. Used in blends, it brings richness, coolness, and depth, softening harsh edges and adding a memorable smoky aroma.
