One of the most powerful Smoked tea. Brand is unknown
This has long been my favorite tea. I purchase it loose these days from a local tearoom; I’m not sure who produces their tea for them. It’s intense and smoky and I’ve had it branded “stinky tea” when I’ve had it at work. As others have said on other lapsang boards, it’s the type of tea people either love or hate. I love it.
I’ve been really wracking my brain to try to remember where in the heck I acquired these leaves eons ago… can’t do it. Lapsang souchong is one of my earliest tea loves, and I always kept a half-decent offering on hand. It has sort of fallen by the wayside lately, what with all the exploration and mind-blowing I’ve been indulging in. I grabbed my old container and brewed some up western, both yestermorn and this… it’s just really tasty and cozy and feels like a sort of home (or a good corner I can tuck into, anyway). I’m positive this isn’t a super high-quality offering, but the base is solid, with some floral and cream notes layered through the woodsmoke.
It’s made me think (shocking, said no tea drinker ever) I should poke around the genre a bit more… I’ve tried YS’s Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, but I know there are alternate wood smokes and whatever other artistry out there to discover.
In due time, little wallet… in due time.
Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Smoke, Wood
