All the way back in August, when my dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday I sent him a link to white2tea’s black tea page and he picked some out for me. It took a while for the tea to arrive from China, and I’m just getting around to reviewing some of these teas. It’s interesting that this is a cake, and that it was smoked, but I don’t find this much different from a regular lapsang souchon. Its not all that smoky and it is very smooth, so I could drink more of this. I steeped this western style, but I might try grandpa style with some of the remaining sample. It is certainly smooth enough and won’t get bitter as my last steep was over 20 minutes.
Flavors: Smoked, Smooth
