Tennessee Summer by Ravenwood Fine Provisions and Gracie Hogue
50g sealed tin
 
Gracie’s description ~
The sun has slid behind the hills now, and your farm work is done for the day. Go out to your front porch and sit in your rocking chair. Take out your pipe, and take in the evening all around you. The gentle breeze carries the scent of honeysuckle, and in the deep woods nearby, a bobwhite and a wood thrush begin singing a duet. The lightning bugs begin their dance. 
As you smoke your pipe, you may taste a few things that remind you of home: dark chocolate and molasses, fig tea and honey, and at last, a bite of blackberry cobbler. 
It’s getting dark now, and a lone owl signals the rising of the moon. A coyote answers him, and you exhale a prayer of thanks for this time, this place. 
By now you all know Gracie and her outstanding watercolor paintings that I have been using for tin arts the last few months. Well she had a great idea for tin art, as well as a new blend. She sketched and painted a beautiful barn owl for Tennessee Summer, with her idea being a light berry aromatic that would be perfect for the hot summer. She was the sole tester for this mixture, and after several tries with this mixture we came up with a melange of fig and berry flavored cavendish (with some wisps of dark chocolate) mixed with a little brown virginia ribbons to slightly subdue the cavendish and help the burn. Its a great mix for a hot day!
