Waitrose Lapsang Souchong Large Leaf Tea 125g
Pure China tea with a sweet and highly aromatic flavour.
Large leaf tea, specially selected and blended for Waitrose. An authentic Lapsang Souchong from the mountains of Wuyishan, in which the distinctive smoky flavour is balanced with an underlying sweetness.
This is probably my favourite every day cuppa, but I am having trouble finding a Waitrose that stocks it. Does anyone know whether it has been discontinued?
A highly aromatic tea that has an autumnal aroma, tastes slightly fruity and is quite sweet. A hint of smokiness.
Brewed in a 2-cup pot with a dash of soymilk in each cup.
Makes me think of autumn; damp leaves underfoot, bare-limbed trees, wood fires exhaling smoky sweet breath…
I had always shied away from lapsang before, but really enjoyed a Smoky Russian Caravan I had bought over the web. I happened to be in Waitrose and spotted this. Large leaf tea, cheap (£1.20/packet), why not give it a try? I’m really impressed. It does smell (and taste) of bonfires, but there’s a sweetness there too. Lovely, and it makes me want to try a more expensive one at some point to see if I can taste the difference!
