Prep: 4tsp, 200F, 4 minute steep. Going strong on this guy. First infusion notes.
Aroma: No one will question you that this is Lapsang Souchong. Huge smoky note, a little tobacco. Super inviting and warming.
Flavor: I expected this to be more aggressive than it turned out to be. This has a nice balance of rich malty black tea with a pop of smoke in the middle of the palate that goes all the way to the finish. Very nice.
Value: 4 bucks an ounce seems pretty good to me. The 3 ounce bag is quite a lot of tea.
