Unsmoked Lapsang Souchong Black Tea 100g

I usually use a glass teapot, the water temperature is controlled at 85-90掳C, and the steeping time is about 2-3 minutes, so that the tea comes out with a bright color and a stronger aroma. After using it, I really think its loose leaf tea taste is much better than many other brands of black tea.

The tea has a nice balance of earthy, smokiness. Not overpowering.

A sweet black tea. When hot the tea has noticeable wood and malt notes, when cool it has light note of rose. I’m a grandpa style brewer and I could feel the presence of tannin after a while. For the price this is a nice daily drinker, I would recommend going light when brewing the tea.

For those who prefer Lapsang without the intense smoky flavor, this is a wonderful choice. The dry leaf is a dusty, dark chocolate brown with beautifully twisted leaf. This one is best consumed on its own. It is light and thus your palate is best if clean of anything else before you consume it. Very woody in flavor with notes of decaying tree, a pile of wet leaves, raisin bread, and some very light woody notes. The wet leaf aroma is pleasant; high in wheat bread with raisins
Soft mouth feel. Astringency piles on fast. This is not a leave it in the cup and see what happens tea. Don't walk away. Sit and enjoy the session. However, once you get to the fourth and fifth sessions leaving it longer is advisable for more flavor.

A very full-bodied floral and fresh minty taste, great perfume from dry leaves to the last sip. Great quality, processed with mastery.
