So what varietal of tea is this. Is this a Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, I think I have seen it referred to as a non smokey Lapsong Souchong? I love this tea. I have been pulling it out when I have been craving a cup of hot chocolate lately. I could seriously drink this all day long. I am down to my last cup. I know that this year the rains have effected this type of tea, but hoping to find something that somewhat replaces it for a little while.

Hmmm, a non smokey lapsang…I didn’t even know that was a thing!

Keychange: I know, right? I thought Lapsang MEANT smoky, though I knew souchong referred to the size of the leaf and they are usually the fifth to seventh leaf on a limb. But I bought the non-smoky Lapsang souchong from Teavivre and it is really good!

Yes, I was the same I always thought LP was a smokey tea, until I tried the Joseph Wesley version. It was unsmpoked and really good. @ashmanra – Did you try the Lapsang Souchong Wild Black Tea from Teavivre?

I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
