Welcome back, mead enthusiasts and fantasy lovers! Grab your mugs and listen in on an early-morning chat as we delve into the mystical world of mead with a touch of dragon magic. In this special episode, we're lifting the veil on our latest creation, "Smaug" - the third installment in our Dragon Tea Mead series.
Picture this: it's a crisp, dawn-lit morning, and we're not sipping on mead just yet – we're fueling up with coffee and laughter. Our host, Nick, is joined by the head brewer, Charlie, along with the other creative minds behind this legendary elixir, Clint and Perez.
Together, we're pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on the art and science of brewing, as we share the mystical alchemy that transforms red tea, vanilla beans, and miombo honey into the liquid gold that is "Smaug." So, if you've ever wondered what it's like to brew mead with dragons in the mix, you're in for a treat.
Expect a casual, lighthearted discussion, sprinkled with anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories about the making of "Smaug." From sourcing the finest ingredients to perfecting the tea process, you'll gain insights into the passion and craftsmanship that go into crafting every bottle.
Imagine the aroma of vanilla and honey and join us for an enjoyable morning filled with whimsical tales, laughter, and a deeper appreciation for the magic that is mead-making.

Evan was sitting on the back porch, enjoying the morning sun and a big plate of pancakes when he suddenly had a craving for some Saturday mead! He thought to himself, "But what type of mead would be best?"
This year, we discovered Single Speed Coffee Roasters' Costa Rica coffee. With notes of honey and citrus, it became an east decision for the brewers to use this variety in our latest coffee mead.
This 20 minute episode includes interviews with Evan, Charlie (head mead maker), and Brad (owner of Single Speed)
