I opened the package to be greeted with the essence of Lapsang Souchong. I am usually not a fan of the overwhelming taste of smoke and charcoal, but I took a chance. While brewing the aroma does resemble wet wood and socks, which wasn’t the best. The brew itself though is very flavorful. I can distinct the taste Lapsang Souchong, but it has calmed out. The dominant smoke flavor has smoothed unto a more soft pine flavor. The oolong adds a slight desert floral hint. The liquor is a bright bronze! Its a very nice blend and simply tasteful.

Flavors: Dark Wood, Pine, Smoked

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 6 OZ / 177 ML

The second infusion brings the oolong to the fore and the LS becomes more muted. It’s a complicated tea and we are happy that you enjoyed it!

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
