I like strong, with intense bonfire and pine smell.
Do you know any brands with this requirement?
I like Hu-Kwa. It is an old blend, going back to at least the 1910s, but is now made out of Taiwanese teas rather than Chinese teas due to the move over to Taiwan in the 1950s and the U.S./China trade embargo of the 1950s-1970s. It is properly smoky, although it is not a Tarry Souchong (the extra-smoky type made using tarry wood). Might be worth a look -- https://marktwendell.com/shop-by-tea-type/hu-kwa-tea
