Lapsang Souchong Black

Such an incredible tea. Lapsang is one of my favorites, I've brewed it from a few different brands over the years and this has to be the best. It has that classic strong smokey fragrance but the tea itself remains smooth and subtle (or as subtle as a lapsang can be). The pine reveals itself more in an iced brew whereas hot the cup has a more complex earthy balance. Highly recommend.

Thanks for asking. This Lap Sang is on the milder side both from the standpoint of the tea and the smoke. It is well-balanced and I find it pleasant. I was hoping for a smokier taste and a little bolder tea but these are obviously matters of "taste" and some might find it to be the Goldilocks.

This is a very robust tea, which is great with me. I do like a full flavored cup, however the smokiness is quite pronounced and overwhelms the other senses. It's a bit too much for me. I have a friend tho that I think will enjoy it and I will keep it on hand for her.
