This is a Lapsang Souchong. It is a fairly light one for this type, with sweetness under the smoke. Not overly smokey, a good place to start for the novice to Lapsangs
Company description not available.
I drink this LS, and I’ve been drinking LS for many years. I would appreciate it if someone who considers this a “starter” Lapsang with mild smokiness, would suggest a different Lapsong Souchong to try. I find this one quite smoky, and I have tried many others. Thus I am very interested in suggestions since I like ‘smoky’ Lapsongs. By the way I know quite a few Londoners who drink LS with milk. I’ve tried it and it is quite good.
This was my first lapsang souchong and…it looks like they’re not for me. The smoky smell was too much for me to be able to sip it from a mug, and while the taste was pretty OK when i sipped it from a spoon like soup, it was nothing to fall in love with. Also, the smell clung really strongly to my ingenuiTEA.
No rating since I think this is a case of “it’s not tea, it’s me”. I might try this tea again another week, see if it strikes me better
