The smell is completely amazing. I wonder, is this the lost tea. I had a tea a year ago that smelled like this. I loved it!
So for the taste, I think the lost tea might be a lapsang but not this one. The flavor here is more like the ash then the smoke of a fire. The lost tea tasted more like the smell then this one. I could have brewed too long… I followed the directions and did 5 minutes. Perhaps less would be better. It’s not bad. Just a bit disappointed after the smell that it’s not that flavor I had been expecting.
I like the flavor better as it cools.
