Review of Lapsang Souchong (Nr. 20)

Half-litre pot at home, made from smoked Chinese black tea leaves. Pours clear dark amber (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of smoke, with notes of black tea. Bitter, leafy flavour of black tea, enhanced by pronounced smoky notes. Astringent and leafy palate, with smoky notes and malty touches in the aftertaste. Well, a decent Lapsang Souchong. It is only my second review of a tea of this style, so I am still new to it, but I wonder if there can be any real variation within it. The smoky notes, desirable as they are, are deafening, so I suppose every Lapsang Souchong tastes like the two I have reviewed now. Maybe I'll be proven wrong one day. Fair price (47 DKK per 100 g).
