Lapsang Souchong has been a favourite tea of mine for more years than I care to remember. For the past ten years or so, it has been my tea of choice, and I have only moved away from it recently as I have been exploring other teas.
I was surprised a couple of weeks ago when I read the Twinnings box and saw that Lapsang is a smoked tea. I mean, of course it's got that smoky taste, along with tar, but I assumed that was part of the character of the tea leaf. I was a little disappointed to discover that it's a flavoured tea. It goes through a complex drying process, to achieve its distinctive character.
Score: 8
