I made a pot of this, and while it’s not my favorite LS, it’s decent. There’s a lot of smokey flavor, so much so that the base tea is almost hidden. What I could make out had a sweetness to it. It makes me understand why some people equate this to barbecue or barbecue sauce. I decided to add some sugar to my cup, and I enjoyed the smokey sweetness and smoothness of this tea.

This isn’t my first choice for a Lapsang Souchong, so I doubt I purchase it again. If I’m ever offered a cup I won’t say no. As with so many smokey teas, this would probably be at its best during the fall/winter months when the idea of sitting in front of a fire is most appealing. But whatever, I drink what I like. ;)

Tea obsessed since 2010.

My Rating System:

100-95 = Teas I actively seek out and keep in my pantry. If you are a guest in my home chances are I will offer you one or all of these teas. Also, if/when these teas are discontinued I openly mourn their loss.

94-85 = Teas I truly like, often have in my pantry, and sometimes restock. These are my variety-is-the-spice-of-life teas.

84-75 = They’re good teas and I enjoy drinking them on occasion.

74-65 = These teas are ok, but not really my thing.

64-55 = meh.

54-45 = I will if I have no other option.

44 and below = Coffee, please.
