The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Rolled tight into dark green pellets. Drop them in hot water and they unfurl — slow, deliberate, releasing smoke and pine into the cup over the course of a minute or two. Watching it bloom is half the point.
Tight little pellets. Hot water finds them. They unfurl. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
