While they don’t say on the Red Leaf site whether or not this is a Lapsang Souchong, it certainly smells like one. It smells like campfire. I like that smell…and I hate camping. The taste was much smoother than the average Lapsang. Instead of instantly tasting “burning”, it went down smooth. It betrayed a malty/floral note along with the smoky attributes.
The second best smoked tea I’ve ever tried.

Yup, going on the shopping list!
Ha, I knew this would be up your alley. :-)
Now I’m craving LS and will have to make some when I get home, and will be up half the night. Thanks, man. :-P
You’re quite welcome. (evil grin)
Trade a smidge of this for some Chocolate Bacon?
Make it a Golden Yunnan Whiskey Sour, and you’ve got yourself a deal. :-)
Instead of or along with? Either way, I think it could be arranged.
I meant “instead of”, but if you throw in both, I’ll add something else of your choice. Keen?
Keen!
I hope they take your camping remark and run with it in terms of marketing. It is like camping without being cold and bathroom-less! Sounds interesting, I am thinking I will have to give a smoked tea a try.
If you’ve had a Lapsang Souchong before, it’s kinda like that. I’m still not convinced it isn’t. ;-)
