I don’t really feel I can give this a proper rating, as I’ve yet to meet a lapsang I can actually drink on its own; indeed, I bought this one to blend with other things and cook with. It’s good for infusing smoky flavour into other things.
I’m giving this a decent rating because it’s probably decent for a lapsang, there’s just something about the campfire-y flavour that I can’t do on its own. Last night I took two bags and steeped them in milk, then used that milk to give a smoky, deep note to a chocolate cake. It’s also sandwiched with black cherry jam and topped with almond buttercream.
