Drinking a competition grade unsmoked Lapsang Souchong.
Its quite nice, the closest cousin I can compare it to would be a Keemun. Interesting aroma from the leaves and cup, slightly sweet & dry, not too dark or strong & not malty like a standard red tea.
Im currently not feeling all my malty teas – they seem to be growing in number, tasting a bit meh to me. This was a nice refreshing change. It was woody & a bit spicy (slightly dongfang meiren but not)
Interesting session, and worth hunting out if you like Keemuns! No idea where it came from – I think he has a friend from China – thanks RuiA! :)
You are most welcome. Actually she is a friend in China, her and her husband’s familiers are tea growers.
