This tea will put some hair on your chest! I really like it. Russian Morning is lightly smoky but definitely full bodied. It would be a great intro into the world of Lapsang Souchong. Training wheels, if you will. This tea is smooth and slightly pine-y…not full blown campfire. The blend of black teas meshes nicely. The thing that surprises me the most about this tea is how clean it tastes and feels in my mouth. The smoke is there…some sweetness too, but clean, clean, clean. Quite tasty! TeaEqualsBliss sent me a sample of this back in the day. I’m glad I finally got up the courage to give it a go. Thanks chick!

Yup! I like this one too!
How did I miss this one when surfing the Kusmi site? Sounds lovely!
I like your review. You said exactly what I think of this tea! It is actually one of my favorite Black tea blends, perhaps because it was one of the first I started regularly brewing in a pot. Love the “not full blown campfire”…precisely. I also agreed with another reviewer that said it can be difficult to get "just right’…I was able to do so pretty quickly just by trying first cup, second cup from put and noting how long I’d left it to steep, and using a scale to measure how much tea we put in and keeping notes. Anyway..thanks for the nice review of my fav.
