Middle if the road Lapsang Souchoung. Maybe a little too smoky; I think I prefer the Upton Lapsang. But this is not bad.

pretty good but definitely not the mokalbari I have been searching for ever since I had some in China 7 years ago that was the best tea I ever had.
Good, “generic” tea.

A touch lighter than their Lapsang Souchon, its OK, but close enough as to be the same for me. Now I really Like Lapsang Souchong, so that’s a good thing.

Definitely a green tea, though it came in an “assam” tea sampler. It was OK, as I am not a big green tea fan.

It took a while to get used to how chocolate-like this is, but after a few cups I warmed up to it. Not something I would drink every day, but a few times a month, sure, a nice change from standard teas. Very good around xmas time.

Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
