I got my Upton order today!!! Super quick shipping also which was nice. I put a sample of this in with my order and I am excited to try it. In fact, this is the first tea I’m trying from my order. I’m also extremely terrified of this tea. I have started to develop a taste for smoky teas, but I’m wondering if this will be too smokey, too soon…. The scent is straight up smokey almost bacony….but not off-putting.
Okay, I’m too much of a chicken to try it straight up so I added a healthy dose of cream and a bit of sugar. Here goes…..wow, this is actually pretty good. I don’t know about drinking it plain but as a milk and sugar tea this is good. Perhaps even great, but I’ll have to see if this is something I crave. The tea initially hits you with a whisper of smoke that blossoms into more sweet smoke. Even though I added stuff to the tea, I can tell that there is a natural sweetness. I’m liking this.

This was onw of my samples too – but for my husband. He is crazy for Lapsang, and I know this one is highly regarded by other Steepsterites! I also got the Imperial Lapsang for him to try.
Maybe Lapsang appeals to the primal…??? Hunting, cooking on open fires.
Every sip I take of lapsang is full of memories and connections. Other teas don’t do that for me…
Then again, it could be something else. But I am with your husband JacquelineM, crazy for it.
