Ooh, this is tasty. I’ve had mixed feelings about my Murchie’s order overall so far, but this blend falls squarely in the “good choice; could see myself repurchasing” category.
I’ve always enjoyed jasmine but didn’t come around to lapsang souchong until the past year or so. I wouldn’t have imagined a pairing of the two would work, but dang, it does! The lapsang tempers the jasmine just enough to take any perfume-y, overwhelming edge off, creating what to me is a very pleasant and super nuanced sip.
I’m also getting bold black tea and maybe a bit of minerality from the green tea, and it’s really just a terrific cup. A bit drying, but I don’t mind. I could see myself reaching for this one any time I want to jump-start my day.
