Steep Information: Prepared as part of the Steepster meetup and tea tasting
Tasting Notes:
From China
If the origin is Fujin it’s great, it has the most sweet flavor, use only local pine wood
Second brew is known for a dragonfruit or lychee flavor
The tea was prepared in a purple clay Yixing teapot seasoned for Lapsang Souchong – and so was sweeter for it
Smell: Campfire
Liquor: Translucent brown
Taste: smooth black tea, smoky, sweet
After-taste: smoky
Sorry my notes are so short and cryptic but it was a whirlwind tasting of so much information and flavor!
Rating: I am intentionally not rating these teas as I didn’t really have a chance to sit there and sip on them and think whether I would by them again, like to play with them more, although none were awful (1 leaf) or fabulous (4 leaves)

That’s interesting about the clay Yixing teapot enhancing the flavor!
I have an oolong yixing, and I really want one for Lapsangs.
Wow, if you would’ve told me six months ago that I was going to write that sentence in the near future I would’ve laughed in your face. I love tea. :)
