Lapsang Souchong Tea

A co-worker from Trader Joe’s gave me 3 teabags of Lapsang Souchong tea.  We had been talking about some of the tastes I like (pine, grass, very bitter, burnt – many come from beer).  Lapsang is also known as smoke tea.  The aroma is like a campfire – smoky, woody, and earthy.  The flavor is smoky as well, but also reminiscent of dirt, which actually isn’t a bad thing.  I think drinking this iced would be quite good as well – maybe I’ll try that next.
