I just had to try this again to compare it to the recent Lapsangs that I’ve tried (see my Tea Smith LS review for the comparison breakdown). Still as good as I remember it. But after reading so many of Doulton’s LS notes I realize that I’ve just begun my journey in finding my dream Lapsang Souchong. I think that this tea’s a nice buddy to have around and it still gets a TG from me. :)

After being a barista for almost a decade it wasn’t until 2010 that I discovered loose leaf tea. Now I’m hooked.
I’m quite loose when it comes to tea prep. I also ended up using Steepster to find my “daily” teas which I mostly have accomplished.
There’s really nothing remarkable or noteworthy of how I rate teas. I do take it a tiny further step to help clarify the muddled middle grounds for myself. TG is a definite repurchase. Anything below that is less and less likely.
