Here is a blend of China Congou and Lapsang Souchong that works out quite well. The LS is the dominant flavor, with the other tea smoothing and mellowing the taste a bit. It goes well with plant milk. I thought the price was a little high for this type of tea, but I would reach for it again if I was in the mood for a well-balanced, smoked tea. This is part of Upton's Boston Tea Party series, in which they re-create some of the teas that were dumped into Boston Harbor at the beginning of the American Revolution.
