2022 Smoked Lapsang | White2tea

Trying to get through all the W2T samples I’ve yet to put here. I’m actually running out of tea at school! So if I run out I’ll probably place an order soon for some new stuff. Maybe Yeeon, LP, or something similar.

This is the smokiest smoked Lapsang I’ve had. The campfire-like smoke can be smelt strongly on the dry leaves and only gets stronger once hot water hits it. The entire room will smell like campfire and cigarettes once you start brewing this tea. Once again, it has those nicely rolled leaves that open up easy in my teapot. Definitely drank the rinse here. Liquor color is something I don’t normally see, and is pretty unique. The yellow color is slightly opaque and almost tinted. Like a lightly fogged gold. Surprisingly, flavor is pretty standard here. Tastes like high end smoked Lapsang, but doesn’t quite hit the quality I’d expect for the budget. It’s not an extremely pricey tea, but, as a Lapsang, I find myself wondering if the price to quality ratio has been maxed out. I ask the same question when I’m drinking a shou that is way over the $1 per gram margin. There are some teas that fit in that sweet spot, but I’m unsure about this one! Not to say it’s not a great tea, just that its flavor is nothing shocking. Tastes like smoked Lapsang, and it is smoked Lapsang. Aroma, liquor color, texture, leaf quality, etc are all the things keeping these leaves at a higher price.

Tasting: Spiced Lapsang

The second Lapsang I ordered in my latest White2Tea haul. The biggest difference between this one and the Pine Sap Lapsang is that this one is NOT smoked. In fact, for those of you who may not know, not all Lapsang is smoked, however smoked is the best known and most common type of Lapsang, especially in the western market.

The natural spice of the tea was pretty apparent from the start. The dry leaf has aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg with additional notes of taro, dry charcoal and sour plum. The wet leaf released stronger spice notes similar to Chinese 5 spice. Heavy notes of sweet potato with a hit of floralness and soft fruity tones.

I found the first infusion to have a soft and subtle bitterness on the throat. The mouthfeel is clean with a maltiness that is not too overpowering. Heavy flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon, and more vegetal notes of raw spuds and spiced carrots. I also found it to have a very warming feeling in the chest after swallowing. The second infusion had much less bitterness and also unveiled subtle floral notes as found on the wet leaf. The spice notes also seemed to turn into a savory flavor of coriander. By the 4th infusion the tea had developed a syrup like mouthfeel that coated the tongue with a powerful malty flavor with savory flavors of cumin.

Admittedly this was my first experience with an unsmoked Lapsang. It’s no doubt an enjoyable tea that is perfect for the cold wintery season. To me, the tea didn’t quite have any kind of a WOW factor, but I did very much enjoy a tea with a natural spiciness as opposed to a tea with spice added. Regardless, it’s a great tea for the daily black tea drinker to enjoy.

3 out of 5 stars.

Awesome Taiwanese tea session today, hosted by @the_tea_enthusiast including #gaoshan #shanlinxi #guifei #hongyu then, as life sometimes does, the tasting took a turn and we ended by brewing some 1970’s #lapsangsouchong #hongcha from @orchidteahouse then after tasting it, we decided to compare it with a 2003 #liubao #heicha . 😮 #newyorkteasociety #teaclub #teasession #teatasting (at Forest Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_YniuOytx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s a perfect day in MI with the weather being over 40 F. Do you know what that means? As a Chef and Texan, I have to cook something outside over fire. Tonight’s selection will be some brisket burnt ends but what tea can stand up to it? ITeaworld has the answer.

Timing is everything and this tea review was perfect timing for it to be in the rotation to share with you. Their Lapsang Souchong brew shows amazing depth, deep smoky malt along with a big structure in the mouthfeel and body to stand up to smoked meats. It’s an amazing tea that is a great price per cup along with showcasing rich flavors.

Pop over to the ArtofthePair.com to check out this week’s review and my suggestions for pairing. This is one that you will want to check out and have on hand for the upcoming grilling months. For me, that’s all year round if I can dig out the smoker. 😊

smoked tea is by far the most interesting thing that has happened to me in months. tastes a bit like pine resin? or maybe smoked wood

Me as I drink a hot cup of lapsangsouchong:

* S m o k e y B r e a t h *

I am a dragon now

(For those who don’t know, lapsangsouchong is a black tea that has been smoked over wood, usually pinewood. )

Also If you plan to try it steep at a relatively lower temp. It can be very pungent if steeped in water right off the stove top.

#lapsangsouchong #people who steep their lapsangsouchong at HIGH temps scare me

You make one tiny engagement with TERF discourse on Twitter and they just flood your mentions with their bad faith and passive-aggression

Anyway, look at this cake I made, it tastes of tea!!!!
