Golden Moon Tea Sampler #3: Picked at random
This is a good tea. I liked it but I also acknowledge that I’ve become a bit spoiled. If I had tasted this 6 months ago I would have assigned it 100 points and would have pledged to drink it every day. At this point, I need to start my day with a Lapsang Souchong and then move on to a nice strong black tea. This could be one of them, but it just didn’t “pop” in my mouth in the way that Keemuns, Yunnans, and Darjeelings do.
I think this is a good tea but I know my test for a great tea (for me): having a severe anxiety attack because I don’t have more in stock and feeling a need to run and order it. I won’t do that with this one but I wish it well.

Starting with a Lapsang seems too strong to me! I would want to build up to it. Then again, I always start strong (though rarely that strong) and work to greens or whites later in the day.
Oh, I know just what you mean. It’s almost sad because French Breakfast is so nice, but it’s not quite as memorable as a lapsang souchong (or for me, Jackee Muntz).
I love starting off a day with Lapsang! I read somewhere that a good LS tastes like coffee smells and that’s what got me to try it in the first place. :)
I picked my random GM sampler tea for tomorrow already and guess what? It’s the Lapsang.
