Steeped western; 4 grams/300 ml.
After smelling dry leaf, I thought it will be very smoky, but in fact; not that much.
Brewed tea has lovely level of smokiness, complemented with pine wood aroma and it was also a bit meat-y. But that is probably association in my brain that says smoked stuff => smoked meat.
Also, it somehow reminded me cigars and tobacco, which is something I have very limited experience with as a no-smoker, so I never tried it. But of course, you ran across thorugh different people.
It was a perfect hit to today gloomy and rainy afternoon.
Flavors: Meat, Pine, Sap, Smoked, Tobacco

I have always loved lapsang, but have never sprung for a really high quality example. This sounds like it might be a nice place to (re)start the love affair.

W2T offers several types of lapsang, so maybe get them and try them.
I will take a look, thanks for the tip!
