Lapsang Souchong from Peet's Coffee & Tea

Spencer drank Lapsang Souchong by Peet's Coffee & Tea

Whoah. It said to steep for five minutes. 30 seconds might have been a better option, as I steeped this for a minute in my two-cup teapot, and it was plenty strong. This is definitely one tea you have to feel in the mood for, as the smoky smell and flavour can be slightly overwhelming.

Bio

“I love trading tea and trying new teas. My favourites are oolong (mainly Chinese) and pu’erh.
Will gladly talk all day about tea.”

The above was my bio when I joined three years ago, and I felt it needed to be updated. I still love pu’erh, though I have begun to take preference toward cooked, shou. Oolongs are certainly still a go-to tea for me, but I have expanded my horizons to begin including greens and blacks based upon the weather and how I am feeling.

Still more than glad to talk about tea – anytime, anywhere, anyplace.
Additionally, if fountain pens, books, music, or computers are on the discussion list…
