drank Smoky Lapsang by Twinings
382 tasting notes

Before brewing the tea bag smells really good, really smoky, like good-quality loose-leaf Lapsang teas.

When brewed, the smokiness is still quite strong but one can sense overlying base tea, quite bland in fact.

In taste the smoky notes are rather unpleasant, they feel like chewing a roasted branch, and the base tea seems very watery.

Very disappointing. No comparison to high quality loose-leaf Lapsang teas.

Flavors: Smoke, Smoked

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 g 7 OZ / 200 ML

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
