This is one is highly rated by my dad, and while its not solely a souchon, it does have a slight smoky taste. It reminds me of a candy version of a smoked tea, as it has a sweet aftertaste. Probably why he likes it, he has a sweet tooth. The tea has a burnt creme brulee vibe, but for some reason, I never remember I like this tea until I brew another cup. I like it better than the Old South Meeting house blend that is an Upton ‘Boston tea party’ theme tea.
Flavors: Caramel, Smoke, Sweet
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
