Keshwyn drank Tong Mu: Lapsang Souchon by MEM Tea Imports

99 tasting notes

It is interesting that I’ve started to like smoke as a flavor, but Friday Tea’s Writer’s Fuel helped me discover how good smoked tea can be.

This one smells completely overwhelming in the tin and I was sure I wouldn’t like it; I was wrong. Once brewed and with a bit of milk (I drink my tea with milk) it becomes a very pleasant smoky flavor without being completely overkill. I already have Writer’s Fuel in my cabinet, and nobody else in the house is a big smoke fan, so this one is going into the backup list for “if I can’t get my favorite, this is an excellent alternate” list.

Flavors: Malt, Smoke

95-100: I will keep this on my shelf at all times if possible.
85-94: This tea is probably in active rotation in my house and getting drunk a lot (or it’s about to be).
75-84: I liked it. I will probably keep a small tin of it around.
65-74: I liked it. I might keep a small tin of it around, but I will not mourn its loss if it disappears from sale.
50-64: Meh.
0-49: No.

I like real tea (camellia sinensis). Black with milk and no sugar, unless it’s a really froofy chai latte. Green with no milk.

I’ve discovered through trial and error that I really don’t like Rooibus, even when it’s mixed with black tea. (Sadly.)

Herbal tisanes are not out of the running, but I have to be in the right mood and they have to be sufficiently strongly powered that I don’t miss the tea leaves.

By preference, I drink loose-leaf, but I will drink bagged tea if it’s good enough.

My icon is a piece of fantastic art by Ursula Vernon called Cattail Tea.
