Another one from QuiltGuppy. Turns out I’ve actually had this one before. I’d clean forgotten that. And basically I’m only posting now because my brain suddenly realised that it wasn’t just any old standard LS, but a gift LS and therefore it ought to be documented. As is only right and proper.

I’ll be brief though, because there are plans for today and there are few things I want to get out of the way so that I can sit quietly and conquer the world for a while before leaving. (Civ V. Have wiped out Arabia, am in the process of making cat’s meat of Japan. After that Napoleon won’t know what hit him. Rocket artillery. Yeah.)

The aroma of this tea is pretty much what I tend to look for in an LS these days. Sort of thick and creamy with a good layer of smoke. In fact it could be rather more smoky and prickly without it hurting anything.

Strong note of fruity sweetness in the flavour, which is exactly how I like my LSs to be, but again, a little stronger smoke wouldn’t have gone amiss.

To put it briefly, this is pretty much the ideal LS, only in a Light version. All the properties and stuff about it are all correct; it merely lacks some shine to take it from nice to awesome.
