Lapsang Souchong Smoky Black Tea (Yan Xun Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong) from Teavivre
85

Thank you TeaVivre for the sample!

Smokey teas scare me still, so I dove into this sample with hesitation. It’s also blazing hot outside, but this tea was still enjoyable. 2 western steeps later and I’m liking this tea, although it really is burning me up drinking all this hot liquid. I really didn’t want to let this cool for fear of it being gross ;) It’s probably an unfounded fear anyway. This is a great lightly smokey, sweet and bold black tea. I’m going to save the rest of my sample for cooler weather!

I was terrified of Lapsang and sniffed it in the store for about six months before getting bold enough to try it. I like it, but what shocked me was that my youngest daughter liked it immediately. I keep a few smoky teas on hand just for her!
