22nd day, not much left of my Advent calendar!
I am told this is the best of Sara’s calendar. Based on the smell already, wow. It smells like honey.
Whoa. I remember thinking lapsang souchong tastes like sipping black tea around a campfire while the wind blows smoke directly into your face. Thankfully someone thought to put out the campfire.
It’s very honey-tasting. There’s a strong black tea flavor, but not very astringent. There are notes of raisins, maple syrup, and chocolate too. Oh and malt near the end of the sip. How can this much flavor be in a pure tea? It boggles the mind. I wish it had come up sooner, would have ordered some as a present for my son and daughter in law. Heck, I might still. Wow, Sara, I can see why you love this tea. Wow.
Edit: I have ordered some.

The malty flavor at the end of the sip makes me crave a soda pop I got into on a visit to Venezuela called malta. It’s malt-flavored by the way.
Simply the best. <3
I haven’t tried this particular Wild Lapsang yet, but of the two I have had, both had a very malty based with strong cocoa and mandarin orange notes. I also remember getting honey sweetness and a spice note. One of the two had a strong floral rose note, so it has been my favorite of the two… it was like dark chocolate paired with oranges and roses, so good! I believe I did both gong fu. May have also tried them western finishing up the little sampler packets I had of those.
