If you drink alcohol and love mezcal, you'll love this.

This is a weird way to start a review for a tea - but I hope it helps someone else who is stepping into the world of smokey beverages.

I've never liked Lapsang souchong before (the ashtray comparison isn't far off from another review) - but this came in a sampler, so I gave it a shot. Yes - the initial aroma after brewing is not pleasant. But it smells better once it has cooled a bit. The flavor is really good, especially if you add a bit of citrus. My recommendation is to put a fresh/dried orange peel in your brewed cup while you wait for it to cool - the combo of that orange with the smokey flavor/smell is quite nice.

This isn't a fresh/sweet profile like a lot of the Beach House teas I've tried, but this is likely my favorite Lapsang souchong.

Surprisingly good, because I usually hate lapsang souchong

I received this as a birthday present many years ago, and I was skeptical, to say the least. As a general rule, I find the base tea, lapsang souchong, to be undrinkable. It tastes like drinking water out of an ashtray. All that is to say that this blend really surprised me, because my tastebuds say it's terrific. I don't quite know how they pulled it off, but I think it's a combination of the juniper (which you can definitely taste) and the fact that the lapsang souchong doesn't overpower everything else. They seem to have understood that the tea itself is so intense that it needs to be used with subtlety; that more is not necessarily better.

That said, I suspect people who try this will either love it or hate it, because the flavor is still intense. But I'll give at least one vote out there from a person who still thinks lapsang souchong is vile: they just managed to use it effectively and deliciously.

Thank you so much for the review. Yes, Lapsang Souchong is an acquired taste. We see you left this review on our Pacific Northwest Inspired Wooden Tea Cup. Did you mean to leave it on one of our teas that contained lapsang souchong? We can change it for you if you can remember the tea blend?

Just what I hoped

I love the smoky earthy taste of Lapsang and this did not disappoint.

Oh shoot, no

I bought this because I love earthy teas and it sounded really great. For example I love pu erh which are fermented teas that taste like you’re licking the bottom of a horse barn. This tasted like a burnt cedar branch that you threw into water. The smell was worse than the taste but I could only drink half a cup. Sadly disappointed.

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t like the tea. Lapsang souchong, which is the base tea in this blend, is a black tea consisting of Camellia sinensis leaves that are smoke-dried over a pinewood fire. This smoking is accomplished either as a cold smoke of the raw leaves as they are processed or as a hot smoke of previously processed (withered and oxidized) leaves. The intensity of the smoke aroma can be varied by locating the leaves closer or farther (or higher or lower in a multi-level facility) from the source of heat and smoke or by adjusting the duration of the process. The flavour and aroma of lapsang souchong is described as containing empyreumatic notes, including wood smoke, pine resin, smoked paprika, and dried longan. Your description of a burnt cedar branch is on par with Lapsang souchong tea. If you send an email with your order number and a different tea you’d like to try, we’d be happy to send it to you.
