1919 Lapsang Zhivago China Black Tea

Black Tea by The Metropolitan Tea Company

A delicious premium lapsang with captivating heady bouquet and a delicious mild oak and pine fire finish. An excellent tea to savour. Dr. Zhivago. Most of us are familiar with the Hollywood version of this sweeping Russian tale starring Omar Sharif. The story however was originally penned in novel form by Boris Pasternak, a Russian writer who wrote during the days of the U.S.S.R.

Amanda Earl

this is smoky, malty & strong. goes great with milk & sugar. 6 minutes steeping gives this tea a good, strong flavour. it’s a perfect tea for an early spring morning, evocative of wood smoke & a warm fire.
