One of my favourite teas, great blended with orange pekoe

2 teaspoons steeped for 15 minutes in 250 mL boiling water. Very effective migraine relief, and it actually has a nice taste, mostly like chamomile.

You really can smell the lapsang; this tea smells almost like a campfire. The flavour is much more subtle and complex, though, and the tea has a lovely golden colour. I need a few more cups to be convinced, but I enjoyed this first one. It would indeed follow vodka nicely.

Very earthy and nutty, with just the slightest aftertaste of sweetness.
