Thank You Boychik for this sample. I surprised my self by a: liking this and b: not adding milk to it. It has a distinct smoked flavor but it is not overpowering. There is a nice, more sweet flavor behind the smoked flavor. It is not strong and I am not sure how to describe it but its there. It is good that I liked this tea because I forgot I had this sample and bought a 25g sample with our joint order to Tao Tea Leaf. Thanks to Marzipan for that joint order. It must have been a huge amount of work. I steeped this tea once this morning at 6 am before work and am drinking it again now. I liked it enough to resteep it.
I brewed this tea twice in an approximately 20oz teapot with 6g leaf and 200 degree water for 2 min and 2 min 45 sec. I won’t give this tea a numerical rating because I have so little to compare it too as this is only the second Lapsong Souchong I have tried.
Flavors: Smoked
yay, glad you liked it. i love good LS.
