Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jul. 8th, 2013
I just don't care for smoked teas (lapsang souchong) and this one had an almost cigarett-y/tarry scent to it (more of an aroma than a taste - thank goodness). Just not my bag at all! And terrible iced. Barely tolerable hot.
What possessed me to try this? I should know better by now. At least it was free (had thi...
Lapsang Souchong from ITO EN
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5

Sorry - I just don't care for Lapsang Souchang (smoked) teas in general - and Ito En's is no exception - but that said - if you like smokey back teas with a strong aroma and a full-body when brewed (best served hot - it's just not an "icing" tea) - give Ito En's a try.

Lapsang Souchong Organic Tea from Wegmans
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 11th, 2013
Smoked over pine fires in bamboo baskets this tea captures the taste of the fire. It is a perfect tea for cold winter nights…the taste reminded me of warm fires, high mountains, and clear cold skies. You can taste the full spectrum of tea with this type…the warmth from the sun, the aging leaf, and the smoke from th...

Lapsang Souchong Organic Tea from Wegmans
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 24th, 2013
This tea smells like a campfire. The smoky aroma is kind of strong. I like it, but I could probably get tired of it easily. It tastes kind of weirdly sweet. I have mixed feelings about the flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Lapsang Souchong Smoky Black Tea (Yan Xun Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong) from TeaVivre
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 24th, 2012
The dry leaf smells strongly of pine smoke, more like the British style of Lapsang Souchong, which I find is often overly smoky. But upon brewing, this tea's smokiness mellows out considerably. There's still a lot of that campfire or wood smoke smell, but it doesn't overwhelm.
Flavor and mouthfeel is exceptionally...

lthough Mark T Wendell carries a considerable number of teas, Hu-Kwa is their signature tea. It is said to be "the finest obtainable Lapsang Souchong ... from Taiwan." And it is the finest.

Jul. 13th, 2012
Life in Teacup sent me a sample of this tea even though it had been discontinued from their catalogue; now, their only Lapsang Souchong is the Lapsang Souchong Superior Grade.
I can see why they discontinued this one: while it was not bad, I thought it was nowhere near as good as the superior grade. Even with the h...
Lapsang Souchong Superior Grade from Life in Teacup
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 10th, 2012
This was the first traditional Lapsang Souchong that I've tried, and I must say, I'm a tremendous fan. It is among my favorite Chinese black teas that I have sampled. Yet another impressive tea from Life in Teacup.
Although there is a hint of pine evident in the aroma, the overwhelming smokiness characteristic of ...
Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 25th, 2011
I think this tea is best if served with a meal; it would go good with cajun dishes and indian foods; something that incorporated strong spice such as cloves or ginger. Its an inquired taste, and it smells like smoked pinewood and can be overpowering and its not something you can wake up too in the morning. Not somethin...

My rating is low because I tend not to like this style of tea. I actually think this tea was very good, more enjoyable than some loose-leaf Lapsang souchong that I've tried.
This is a classic Lapsang Souchong from a tea bag. It has a strong smoky aroma, and smooth, mellow flavor. Unlike some of the other reviewer...

This tea is pretty good. It has a nice smoky aroma, but it's too weak, and on the verge of being too bitter, like other Twinings black teas I've tasted. I really like the smoky flavor, though. I added cream and sugar.

Hear me roar! I can't tell if I like it or not, but it is definitely smokey. But it is also very smooth and mellow. I don't think those unfamiliar with LS would like it. It's very good, but somehow, for me, the smoke is a bit wrong.

The "Ne plus ultra" of Lapsang Souchongs. The high bar for all others. It is superb. Yes, it is smokey - that's what a LS is, but this has a sweet note to the aroma and that carries through into the tea, which is rich and smooth and mellow. It also keeps well. I have some I have had for 4 years and it is still won...

Lapsang Souchong - Smoky Tarry from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I always get excited when I see brands carry Lapsang Souchong, mostly because I can't imagine their consumer base for it is very large.
Numi's always tends to be pretty satisfying if not a bit thin and their Smoky Tarry blend is no exception. They really play up the smokey-ness in the aroma but then you take a sip ...

I love Lapsang Souchong and Lupicia don't do it any harm! A wonderful smokey aroma and rich flavor without any sour aftertaste. Really satisfying overall, and good with milk too!

Lapsang Souchong from Peet's Coffee and Tea (Peets)

May. 20th, 2010
This tea has an inviting campfire-smoke aroma, but tastes very, very smoky, almost meaty, to the exclusion of the basic tea flavor. If you're looking for a less intense smoky flavor, try the Scottish Breakfast (still a little strong for me) or the Russian Caravan (which I love).

note: this is the only lapsang souchong i've tried.
very powerful in both flavor and aroma. a very smokey smell. many people i've offered it to told me it smells like a camp fire. i definitely smell the terpenes (chemicals from the pine wood).
i am a big fan of this tea, but it is definitely not for everyone. ...

This is one of my favorite teas. It stands head and shoulders above most other Lapsangs, almost poetical in the achievement of its goals. Not to be missed!

Dec. 20th, 2009
It's hard for me to evaluate this tea because I am not much of a fan of Lapsang Souchong...but this is among the smoothest of the ones I've tried so far. Perhaps I'd develop a taste for it if I drank it more often.
Very strong smoky aroma, more like a sausage or fireplace than a tea. Flavor is extremely smooth and...

A decent lapsong souchong. Not the smokiest tea that I have ever had, but if you want a milder tea, this is a good one.
