## Description

Product Description Our orthodox Lapsang Souchong tea is created in the mountains of China, where black tea leaves are dried on bamboo over smoking pine wood fires. This gives the leaves a uniquely deep, rich, smoky flavour From the Manufacturer A distinctive tea with a unique smoky taste. A traditional China tea made by smoking the tea over wood fires. Tea planters all over mainland China, and the neighbouri8ng island of Formosa each have their own special ways of creating the unique, smoky taste which makes Lapsang tea so distinctive. We favour the classic Lapsang style from northern Formosa which can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Packed in England.

Review: Not for everyone, but then nothing ever is. - This is very strong tea. It is strong in terms of aroma, strength of flavor, and oh may I stress again the key factor here of aroma. The smell of this tea will be overwhelming to some people, and amazing to others. "Smoky" is the word used on the box and frankly, that's good enough a descriptor for me. It conjures up memories or likenings of just about anything involving fire, or fireplaces, or camp fires, or even just the general season of autumn as these things will all involve the smell of smoke. I could picture this tea really hitting the right mark if consumed after spending a long day outdoors in the cold weather. It's a well-made tea. The flavor comes through, the sediment is quite low, the aftertaste is small -- it's a top-shelf product. Just know what you are getting. If you ordinarily drink Darjeeling or Earl Grey and you cannot imagine anything being stronger, then this tea will knock your socks off. Or if you have a hypersensitive sense of smell and are bothered by anything rising above the presence of crackers and bread, then you will probably be overwhelmed by this. Or perhaps you're like me, and you've consumed enough tea to float a battleship. And you've come to a point where you would like to try something new from time to time because, well, life is short. In that case, I'd say give this a try. It is different and it is unique, but it is also well-made and coherent -- there is a method to the madness, as they say. Good luck to you, my fellow tea drinker.
Review: Excellent tea at a good price from a fine company - Taylors of Harrogate blend some splendid teas and their Lapsang Souchong is another well-balanced and consistent entry in the line. As a result of the smoking process this tea doesn't get bitter nor does it have any overly tannic aftertaste: even in bags it provides a smooth and flavorful cup of tea sturdy enough to stand up to having milk added, if you like. This is a "love it or hate it" tea: the flavor is strong and folks usually react strongly to it. I love it! Allegedly Winston Churchill's favorite brew, Lapsang Souchong has a dominant flavor of smoke and is almost peaty in nature (it is smoked in bamboo baskets over pine wood, resulting in the distinctive 'longan' aroma.) If you enjoy smoky tastes such as single-malt Island Scotches like Laphroaig or smoked foods, or you just like to stand downwind of a campfire once in a while you should find this a satisfying brew. If you don't like any of those things you probably won't like this tea either. For me this is a cool, wet weather or very early morning tea and not one I'd reach for in the middle of a hot summer's day. This set of 50 sachets (European style with no tags, strings or staples like US tea bags) comes in an attractive cardboard box but after opening be ready to transfer the sachets to a well-sealed tin or other container unless you want your entire pantry smelling like smoke. It is a VERY fragrant tea! In addition to providing finely blended teas Taylors as a company is also committed to purchasing fairly traded teas which benefits working conditions for tea workers; Taylors was also recently listed as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK. I'd rather give my money to smaller companies that have proved themselves good corporate citizens, and Taylors is one of the good guys. Basically: good tea, good price, good company!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it wrapped individually ?**
A: No.  I found individually wrapped teabags at an event. The tea was delicious and I had two more cups.  I bought 4 boxes of 100 bags to share with several friends.  There was barely any flavor to the tea in these unwrapped bags.  They came in a cellophane wrapped cardboard boxes.  I checked the Use By date and it was three months after my purchase.  I ended up giving two full boxes to charity and gave 2 boxes to my daughter to take to work.

**Q: Can the Asssam Black tea be used to make a milk tea?**
A: Definitely! Black teas go very well with milk.

**Q: Is there any caffeine in the tea?**
A: Black, green, oolongs, white - all these teas have caffeine. The caffeine content in tea is approx. 1/3 of caffeine of coffee.
Caffeine level is very similar in all these types of tea as they all come from the same plant Camellia Sinensis.
Teas can be decaffeinated through a special process. Also, you may opt for herbal infusions that are made from plants, that don't contain any caffeine, such as Chamomile, Peppermint, Rooibos (also called red tea), and many many others!

**Q: Does the english breakfast tea contain bergenot**
A: Only Earl Grey contains bergamot, which is oil from Mediterranean fruit. Some Earl Greys might be flavored with other ingredients that give the same "begamoty" flavor and aroma.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoky goodness
*by S***L on June 10, 2024*

Warning-these are not appropriate for the nurse trick of tea bag in a mask to avoid unpleasant scents due to smokiness. I’ve been trying to expand my tea horizons due to their antioxidants, and had never tried lapsang souchong. Generally speaking, I prefer green teas to black (definitely not a fan of Earl Grey) but figured that since I like a good masala chai, this was worth a try. I knew it was going to be smoky, but figured the worst case scenario is that I would never order it again if it wasn’t my cup of tea (intended). Opening up the box was unexpected-I thought my smoke alarms were going to start up. But once steeped it mellows out considerably and becomes pleasantly complex instead of in your face smoky. I drink it with a splash of vanilla soy milk and the little sweetness adds to the flavor. Perfect as a breakfast tea due to its heartiness and caffeine. The only thing I wish is that each bag was individually wrapped to make taking these into work easier, as well as make sharing easier.
