Join So-Han, Randall, and Richard for an intimate tea and whiskey-tasting experience at So-Han's tea house. In this episode, they dive into the world of red tea, specifically the sun-dried Gamma Ray variety, and pair it with a special 100% malted wheat whiskey from Cedar Ridge, bottled by Lost Lantern.

So-Han explains the differences between red tea and black tea and shares insights into the British colonial history that shaped the Indian tea industry. As they steep the Gamma Ray red tea, the group notes its classic tea aroma and honey-like sweetness.
Randall introduces the Lost Lantern independent bottler and their Midwest collection, highlighting the rare 100% malted wheat whiskey from Cedar Ridge distillery in Iowa. The group explores the whiskey's unique flavor profile, noting hints of vanilla, red fruits, and a subtle creaminess.
The conversation delves into the importance of terroir in both tea and whiskey and the role of independent bottlers like Lost Lantern in showcasing small craft distilleries. So-Han draws parallels between Lost Lantern's work and his own efforts to bring artisanal teas from small producers to a wider audience.
Join this engaging discussion about the world of tea, whiskey, and the passionate people working to share these incredible flavors with enthusiasts everywhere.
