I have ordered this tea many times over the years, and am surprised I did not rate it yet. In the past it has been a well-priced and full-flavored tea experience, and a go-to when I wanted something malty and smoky, with a little milk and no sugar. My most recent purchase of it was less enjoyable. This time a harsh, smoky flavor dominates, so it seems to be primarily a low-medium quality Lapsang Souchong. I am still giving it a decent review, but some of that is going on memories. It is probable that the tea will mellow out some as it ages and oxidizes a little. I am not giving up on it yet, but I might after another batch like this one.
