Harney & Sons Lapsang Souchong Loose Leaf Black Tea Tin, 3 oz

Amazing tasting tea nice and smokey black tea. Pro tip. Swap all of the tea from out of the tin and into an air tight container to keep the taste strong. Or else it will go weak in a week or so.

Smoky, piney, nuanced, delicious. I drink this tea exclusively in the winter, and after trying a few brands, this is my favorite one. I’ve gifted 5 of these so far, and people keep asking about it.

This is not for everyone. I like it. It's a very unique and very pronounced flavor. It is fresh, strong and bold. This mixes well with Black Currant Tea, with 80/20 ration. Smoke is heavy, so in pure form you need to be careful, you might hate it. I believe mixing with other flavored black teas is the idea, and it does well just that. Must try, for me it is an interesting tea with lots of ambition.

A very good Lapsang Souchong, It's a little smoother than Taylors, which also is outstanding.

This is Lapsang Souchong, as I learnt to expect from Twinings, back in the 1970s-80s, but they don't do this level quality anymore. Definitely definitely better than the Twinings bagged Lapsang Souchong getting sold in the US. That stuff is rank, these days. Avoid. I am not a high-end connoisseur of this type of tea, but this is orders of magnitude better than what Twinings sends to the US anymore, and considerably better than many Lapsang Souchongs--from loose leaf--that I have gotten in random cafés I've gone into over the years. I will absolutely be buying this again, happily. The size and shape of the leaf is generous, and the smoke is natural and strong, in the best ways. Opening the tin to take snaps for the review, the aroma is pure intoxicating, properly, and also, the tin lid makes a superior seal to many other tins. Love it! If you know you like Lapsang Souchong, you will not be disappointed!

I had this with milk cause that’s how I have my black teas, and I agree with other reviewers that the taste is pleasant and not bitter. However, I won’t be able to drink any more of it because the smoky smell is overpowering. The problem is that it smells exactly how Seirogan (a traditional intestinal medicine that I had the misfortune to have to take multiple times growing up) smells like. I think this is a me problem, so others might enjoy the aroma if they don’t have unpleasant associations with it 😅

This tea has a very strong peaty aroma and flavor. I use a quarter teaspoon added to other black teas for a light smokey flavor I prefer.

You cannot, really, go wrong with Harney & Sons, this tea is no exception. It gets five-stars from me because I am on my third tin and have no intention of changing. This is an all-day sipping tea for me. It is smooth, no sugar needed, and deeply nuanced. It tastes roasted without being too smokey and ranks up there for me with a good Pu'er. If you are looknig for restrained and refined while also having a robust personality this may be perfect for you.

Compré este té para cocinar, como opción para ahumar y me funcionó muy bien. El té llegó en muy buena condiciones y rápido. Lo volvería a comprar.

Edited to reflect a 2nd order: Rich, smokey aroma, subtle flavour...fab on a winter's day, on a rainy day, when camping - everything that evokes something special! I put a splash of 35% cream in... perfection!

mild smoky aroma and subtle flavour, very enjoyable cup of tea. like very much the tea-tin which i shall keep and reuse. classic

Al principio me desagradó el fuerte olor; sin embargo, lo probé y me dio una gran sorpresa. No es para cualquiera, dale una oportunidad.

good tea. pricey.
